STEP 1: SELECT A MOUNTING LOCATION

BEST PRACTICES

1. Select a mounting location that provides the best view of the sky and the sun.

2. A flat horizontal mounting position (lying flat, facing skyward) is preferred but an

alternate mounting orientation might be necessary depending on application and

solar availability.

3. Vertical mounting orientations (solar panel side of device facing horizon) are

acceptable.

4. Recommended mounting area size is 8.5" L x 3.5" W (216mm L x 90mm W).

5. Thoroughly clean the mounting area, especially if using VHB mounting.

6. DO NOT PAINT OR COVER THE GT2. Doing so may negatively impact product

performance and battery life.

7. A covered or excessively dirty solar panel lens will reduce the GT2's ability to

harvest solar energy. Sunlight limiting factors such as snow accumulation should

be considered when determining GT2 mounting orientation.

8. For typical applications, two hours of direct sunlight per day is highly recommended.

Additional information on mounting locations is available in the GT2 User Guide.

For installations that do not require a protective bezel and that are isolated from abuse, extreme weather, and

temperatures, the GT2 has a pre-installed set of VHB adhesive pads that can be used to "peel and stick" to any clean

surface above 50°F (10°C). The Geoforce VHB Installation and Removal Guide MUST be followed to ensure proper

adhesion to the asset.

VHB 'peel and stick' is not recommended if using a protective bezel mounting option.

The GT2 can be mounted with the following Geoforce mounting accessories:

• Commercial Duty Reinforced Plastic Mounting Bezel for GT2

(SKU: GT2-BEZEL-RP)

• Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Mounting Bezel for GT2

(SKU: GT2-BEZEL-SS)

Additional information on each mechnical mounting method is available in the GT2 User Guide.
