1. Drill an 20mm hole in the pole (minimum
15cm down from the top of the pole) on the
same side that the camera will be mounted.
This is for the solar panel cable and plug
to run through. The position of the hole will
vary depending on what position on the
pole the camera is to be mounted. If using
the optional tilt pole, this hole will be pre-
drilled,
2. Feed the power cable and plug connected
to your solar panel through the hole.
3. Place the solar panel bracket on top of the
pole, pointing north.
• Note: If you need to cover a different area
with the light beam, keep the panel at after
repositioning.
4. Securely fasten the included grub screws
to the bracket. Tighten the locking bolts to
prevent the grub screws from loosening.
(Fig. 2.4b)
• Note: For poles greater than 4m in height,
tapered poles are preferable for camera
stability and pole strength.

2.5 Adjusting the Solar Panel Angle
Tilt Angle
North
To ensure your solar panel absorbs as much light as possible, it’s important to adjust the solar panel angle.
For Australia and all locations in the southern hemisphere, the lower edge of the solar panel must point north. Locations
in the northern hemisphere must have the lower edge of the panel pointing south.
1. Use a 5mm Allen Key to remove the two panel adjustment bolts. (Fig. 2.5b). Warning: The panel will freely move
after the bolts are removed.
2. Once the the bolts are removed, tilt the panel to the desired angle. Replace the bolts after adjusting the angle to
secure the solar panel in place.
3. Use a 8mm Allen Key to tighten the large bolts above the angle adjuctment bolts.
How to adjust tilt angle:
Fig. 2.5a
Solar panel angle bolt
We recommend adjusting the solar panel to a tilt angle that is optimised for winter.
This is to achieve better light absorbtion in winter and a consistent amount of light
absorbtion year-round.
The formula for calculating the optimal winter tilt is (Latitude x 0.89)+24, when the
latitude is above 25°, or Latitude x 0.87 if the latitude is less than 25°. Refer to Fig 2.5a
for the optimal Winter Tilts for Australian Capital Cities.
For example Sydney has a latitude of 33.8688° S, therefore the panel should be tilted
directly north with an angle of 54° (33.8 x 0.89 = 30, then 30 + 24 = 54°)
If you are unable to use the optimal winter tilt or it is impractical to tilt the panel north,
(e.g due to using the light on the solar panel), set a tilt angle of 5° and rotate the unit to
the best lighting position. Note that this will reduce charging performance, which may
reduce operating time.
