Wall mounting is an optional method of installing the Arch I.<\/p>\n When installing the Arch I on a wall, refer to the pole mounting instructions, <\/span>for the steps beyond wall mounting.<\/p>\n This chapter is only an example and not a step by step guide<\/strong><\/p>\n Depending on the type of wall to which the Arch I is installed, other methods or tools might be needed.<\/p>\n Research the best way of fastening equipment to the type of wall in Example of wall mounting bolts and nuts:<\/strong><\/p>\n Installing the wall mounting bolts:<\/strong><\/p>\n Check the following diagrams for the maximum extrusion the bolt can have from the wall<\/p>\n Bolt measurements for each module:<\/p>\n On these diagrams you can see the distance needed between the wall bolts, and the maximum allowed extrusion of the bolt from the wall, for each module of the Arch I.<\/p>\n It is recommended that you measure these distances yourself before starting the wall mounting installation to lower the chances of errors.<\/p>\n Gateway enclosure: \n Antennas: \n Solar panel frame: \n Battery back plate: Installing on wall:<\/strong><\/p>\n Solar panel frame: You can fasten the solar panel frame to the wall using M8 self locking nuts onto M8 Expansion bolts in the wall.<\/p>\n Install the solar panel onto the solar panel frame before starting the wall mounting process to make sure you have the correct measurements<\/p>\n Antennas:<\/p>\n You can fasten the solar panel frame to the wall using the nuts and washers included onto M6 Expansion bolts in the wall.<\/p>\n Alternatively a short pole (max 48mm width) can be attached to the wall on which the antennas can be installed with U-bolts.<\/p>\n To prevent loss of efficiency do not install the antennas too close to any metal plating.<\/p>\n Battery back plate: You can fasten the solar panel frame to the wall using M8 self locking nuts onto M8 Expansion bolts in the wall<\/p>\n 1<\/strong> – Before putting the back plate on the wall, make sure to insert the M6 round head bolts into the outer most corner holes in the mounting plate as illustrated<\/p>\n Continue installing the battery enclosure by following the steps in the “powering up the system” instructions.<\/p>\n Gateway enclosure:<\/p>\n You can attach the gateway enclosure directly on the wall without the included mounting brackets, using M8 self locking nuts onto M8 Expansion bolts in the wall.<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Depending on how far apart the gateway parts are installed, extension cables may be needed<\/em><\/p>\n
