Mounting Location
The Energiser is solar-powered, and it must have an uninterrupted view of the sky from
east to west with no shadows falling over the Energiser. The Energiser must also face
towards the equator; in Australia, that means northward. In the northern hemisphere, the
equator is southward. The solar panel will charge quickly in full direct sunlight. In cloudy
conditions, the sun's intensity is lower, and the charge time is longer, but the solar panel
collects power from the full view of the overcast sky. If the Power LED changes from green
to red, confirm the setup requirements listed above.
NOTE: The Solar Panel only charges while the Energiser is switched ON.
Mounting Options
The Energiser has several mounting options – see Key #3, #4 & #6 illustrated on page 5.
Steel Post Anti-Theft Mounting
Refer to Key #4. We recommend you mount the Energiser on top of a steel post or "star
picket". The Energiser locks to the post using the supplied key to open the internal
mounting bolt. The locking mounting is compatible with most brands of post.
