Secure the solar panel assembly to a wooden post or fence using two pipe

clamps (C) and four lag bolts (B) as shown in the illustration. If your fence
post is metal, you will need alternative hardware not provided,

(e.g., U-clamps or metal screws).

*If the solar panel must be placed more than 10 ft. from the control box in
order to receive direct sunlight, you can use up to 250 ft. of multi-stranded,
16 gauge, direct burial, low-voltage wire [RB509]. NEVER use telephone

wire or solid core wire.

IMPORTANT: To provide secure and moisture resistant splices for
solar panels use a direct burial splice kit for underground splices
and an above ground splice kit for above ground splices. These
splice kits can be found at hardware and electrical supply stores.
