5.3.1 Install U-bolts and metal plate
Installation of the U-bolts, which are in turn used to mount the sensor
package on a pole, requires installation of an included metal plate to receive
the U-bolt ends. The metal plate, visible in Figure 2 on the right side, has
four holes through which the ends of the two U-Bolts will fit. The plate itself
is inserted in a groove on the bottom of the unit (opposite side of solar
panel). Note that one side of the plate has a straight edge (which goes into
the groove), the other side is bent at a 90-degree angle and has a curved
profile (which will end up "hugging" the mounting pole). Once the metal
plate is inserted, remove nuts from the U-Bolts and insert both U-bolts
through the respective holes of the metal plate as shown in Figure .
