Lay out the Site
The first task of the station installation is to physically lay out the site. The site must be designed in a "T" formation, to allow for plumbing between the sensor vault (barrel), the electronics enclosure, and the solar panels. All cables between these three locations will be installed in 2" PVC pipe, with a direct run between the vault and the electronics enclosure and a 90-degree T between those two, running to the solar panel. Make sure that the cables (especially the solar panel cables and the GPS antenna cable) are long enough to connect from the solar panel assembly into the electronics enclosure. Then you can proceed with installing the Solar Panels...
