Assembling the solar panel
What you need:
Step 1:
Lay out the parts above as shown in the image below.
Step 2:
Screw the brackets into the panel. On top it should be an M6x20 bolt followed by an M6
washer. On the bottom it should be an M6 washer,
M6 spring washer, then M6 nut. Do this for all the
bracket arms.
○ 12 x M6x20 bolts
○ 12 x M6 Washers
○ Socket set

Pole installation
There are many ways a pole can be installed. Namely, in ground, mobile base, or non-
standard.
Picking a spot:
The system should be installed at a location:
• With direct access to full sunlight. If there is even 10% shade over the panel it
will lose 90% of its energy generation.
• Away from other assets such as Power lines and utility pipes (electrical, gas,
water)
• Not pointed at areas that may lead to privacy breaches.
In-ground
What you need:
○ Post-hole digger
○ 2 x kwikset concrete
○ Spirit level
○ At least 4.4L of water
○ Pole
○ Measuring tape
Commented [GP4]: Apply same comments as HD5. But
obviously tailor for anything STA6 specific.

1300 802 960 | www.spectur.com.au
11
Step 1:
Using a post-hole digger, dig a 700 mm
deep hole then round the top of the
hole.
Step 2:
Check that the front of the pole is
facing in the direction of the area you
wish to monitor. To ensure this, align
the pole such that the two top holes on
the side are perpendicular to the area
you wish to view. This is done so that
the winch faces the right way. Using a
spirit level on 2 sides check that the
pole is vertical.
Step 3:
Once the pole is levelled, pour 2 or 3 bags of KwikSet
concrete into the hole; proceed to pour 4.4L (2.2L per
20kg) of water into the hole, then stir the concrete using
a spade or pick. Shovel dirt on top of the concrete to
flatten out the area and to hide the concrete.
Step 4:
Wait 10 – 15 minutes or until set before proceeding to the
Winch Vertical Pole section.

Completing the installation
What you need
Step 1:
Using 2 M12x140 bolts and 2 M12 nuts, attach the
temporary Tilt pole bracket to the pole as shown
in the image to the right. To secure the bracket
thread the bolts through the bracket and the
pole, securing on the other side with nuts.
To ensure that the bracket has been attached
properly and in the right orientation, check to see
if the overhanging portion of the bracket is in the
direction of where you want the camera to view.
○ 5 x M15x235 bolts
○ 5 x M15 Nuts
○ 3 x M15 Washers
○ 3 x M12x140 bolts
○ 3 x M12x140 bolts
○ 1 x M10x140 bolt
○ 2 x M10 Nut
○ 1 x M10 Washer
○ 1 x M10 Spring washer
○ 2 x M8x20 bolts
○ 1 x M30 Nut
○ 1 x M30 Washer
○ 1 x Tilt pole bracket
○ Winch
○ 1 x White power cable
○ 2 x Battery box sides
○ 2 x Locks
○ 2 x battery box locking plate.
○ 1 x tilt pole
○ Drill
○ Socket set
○ Extension cable

Step 2:
Slide the tilt pole onto the bracket and line
up the tilt pole bracket hole with the
respective hole in the pole. Ensure that the
battery box is on the side where you want
the camera to be viewing.
Insert an M15x235 bolt to attach the
bracket and the pole, then secure it on the
other side with a nut. It should be firm, but
still allow for the tilt pole to move freely.
Step 3:
Attach the winch to the bottom pole using 2 M6x235
bolts and 2 M6 nuts as shown below. Once the winch
has been secured set the switch at the bottom of the
winch to the middle setting, this will allow for the line to
be extended and attached to the bottom of the tilt pole.
Once the winch is attached to the bottom of the tilt
pole, wind the winch to provide moderate tension.
Commented [GP5]: How tight/loose should this be to
allow movement?

14
Step 4:
Slide the STA6 system over the tilting pole and
secure with an M10x140 bolt, with an M10 washer
then an M10 spring washer, followed by an M10 nut
on the other side of the pole. This should be firmly
tightened.
Take care when attaching the STA6 system that the
camera is pointing straight up, otherwise when the
system is winched up it will not be pointing straight
ahead.
Step 5:
Attach the white power cable to the system
and the other end to the pole. To secure the
cable, plug it in then twist to tighten. With the
completion of this step move to the section
on attaching the panel.

Attaching the panel
Step 1:
Remove the M30 nut
and M30 washer from
the top of the STA6
system. When
removing the nut and
washer disonnect the
cable at the yellow
connection point.
Step 2:
Lift the panel up to the system and place it over
the top of the system, in the same place the nut
and washer were removed. Once in position
secure with the nut and washer from step 1.
Reattach the disconnected cable from step 1.
Step 3:
Orient the panel such that when it is winched up it will
be facing north. Then, using two M8x20 bolts with two
M8 washers, secure the system by inserting the bolts
into the holes in the camera box. Tighten the screws to
secure the panel in its current orientation.
Commented [GP6]: Most pics and instructions are old
(pre-yellow dual panel connectors). This may be confusing.
Will need to update this section.

Step 4:
Connect the solar panels cables to the cables attached to the STA6 system. “Solar one”
cables from the STA6 will be connected to the “Solare one” cables on the extension cable,
the “solar one cables at the end of the extension will be plugged into the panel. With the
completion of this step the solar panel is now ready to go.
Step 5:
Attach the antenna to the bottom of the system by
screwing it onto the brass screw. Ensure that the antenna is
vertical.

Outboard battery box
Step 1:
Before the battery box can be accessed the system has to be raised into position. To do this
wind up the winch and secure the main pole by threading two bolts through the two poles,
with a washer on each side.
Step 2:
Place the battery in the battery box and connect via
the yellow tabbed cable. For an additional battery,
connect the battery to the other cable.

18
Step 3:
Close it up using the side panels of the battery box and the two brackets. Lock the
bottom of the inserted brackets to secure the system.
Step 4:
Check that the system is online, and the
view is correct by logging into the
Spectur system (refer to the app or
web guides) and checking the view. If
there are no issues, then remove the tilt
pole bracket and the winch from the
system.
With the completion of this step the
STA6 system is ready to protect the
area.
Commented [GP7]: Check all is online ok before removing
tilt bracket and winch or else may need to wind down for
diagnostics
