that attach the SmartOne Solar device to the asset. This allows the SmartOne Solar to be mounted such

the metal mounting bracket using four Phillips-head screws.

Configuration Cable and a (Windows)PC or via its Bluetooth interface provided the correct Bluetooth
dongle has been installed on the PC.
