Mounting

1. If needed, install the 10° or 45° tilt spacer, see Recommended solar panel orientation.

2. Use simple cable ties (included) to mount the Aspen 10 to a vertical post.

3. Connect the sensor to the Aspen 10. Hand tighten the connectors.

   
   

   An AQ-cable allows automatic identification of any sensor with an SDI-12 identification. See the following table, or the sensor ordering details, for whether an AQ-conversion cable is required. Additionally, use an AQ-extension extension cable if the Aspen 10 cannot be collocated with the sensor.

   CAUTION:

   Hand tighten only! Using tools to tighten the connectors can permanently weld the stainless steel connectors together.
