f) Solar Panel Mounting (optional)...

The solar panel must be installed so that it is directly facing the earth's equator with an
unobstructed view. Failure to orient the solar panel in this way will result in significantly
reduced charging effectiveness.
The most critical aspect of properly mounting the solar panel involves achieving the
optimum tilt angle. The tilt angle is determined by the distance between the upper and lower
mounting brackets, as shown (see "Fig. 12: Solar Panel Mounting Views" on page 24).
Refer to page 23 for electrical connection information.
Refer to page 24 for general solar panel mounting.
Refer to page 25 for information on determining your specific mounting angle.
Run rigid steel conduit from the solar panel to the 3/4" AC knockout located at the bottom
of the siren case assembly. A section of up to 24 inches of metal bonded seal tight conduit
may be utilized where conduit connections to the solar panel or electronic cabinet are not
conveniently accomplished with rigid steel conduit and fittings. This conduit should be
sealed to prevent insects and pests from entering the siren case assembly.
