How to install it:
1. Safely mount the environmental enclosure to a sturdy fence or pole. When possible, do not
mount it in direct sunlight. Each installation has unique requirements or codes, and may require
additional mounting hardware to ensure compliance.
2. Safely mount the solar panel to a sturdy fence or pole. The solar panel should remain clear of
shade and facing true south.
The unit is designed to operate continuously
with 3 hours of direct sunlight each day. This is based on
100 activations/day of a 12VDC lock/latch with a
maximum of 250mA and each activation < 3 seconds.
