NOTICE – Equipment damage: Exercise caution when handling the solar panel to avoid damage.
Verify that the solar panel is operating properly before installation:
Check the solar panel using a digital voltmeter to verify polarity and output voltage before
installation.
If the measured output voltage is within the manufacturer's specification, as defined by the
specification sheet supplied with the panel, continue with the installation.
If the measured voltage is out of specification, contact ABB for a replacement panel.
Install the mounting bracket on the solar panel using the provided hardware.
If installation requires a mounting pipe extension:
Attach the pipe coupling to the top end of the flow computer mounting pipe.
Securely tighten the pipe coupling.
Attach the extension pipe to the pipe coupling.
Attach the solar panel mounting bracket to the top end of the mounting pipe with the U-
bolts and associated mounting hardware. Do not tighten completely.
