Important. Read before installation. This system is intended to be installed in accordance with the requirements of Article 600 & 690 of the National Electrical Code and/or other applicable local codes. This includes proper grounding and bonding of the sign & power system. All personnel who work with electrical connections must be educated in the safe procedures for installing and repairing electrical connections before they are given the responsibility of performing such tasks. All conduit and fittings must be rain tight and are supplied by the installer. * Installation Note: If the solar panel cannot be mounted at the scoreboard due to the risk of potential damage or poor sun coverage then the solar panel, receiver enclosure, and battery enclosure may all be located remotely. The A/C power and coax outputs to the scoreboard may then be extended 500' or more with a larger wire gauge. 4

To set the angle of your solar panel find your city or a city close to yours in the table. If the system will be primarily used in the summer months then set the panel angle at your listed latitude + 15° for optimum charging. If the system will be primarily used in the fall/winter months then set the panel angle at your listed latitude -15° for optimum charging. B
If the system is used all year then set the panel angle at your listed latitude for all year average charging (if the panel cannot be adjusted for each season). Attach vertical supports to brackets and brackets to horizontal support using bolts supplied (leave nuts loose until all parts are attached to panel)
A
Attach vertical to panel using clips and bolts supplied by Nevco. Make sure clip is firmly seated behind panel rail.
For example, a summer time system in St. Louis, MO (Latitude of 38°) would be set to approximately 53° of tilt for optimum charging.
