The reset button (Figure 1-12) is used primarily for re-programming and clearing of
the C3’s memory under the guidance of Observant technical support. It should not
be used in normal operations or during installation/maintenance.
A3. Solar Enclosure panel orientation
The solar panel integrated with the C3 Solar Enclosure can be set to one of three
angles (30, 40 and 50 degrees as measured from horizontal). The panel will only
lock fully into place when seated at one of these angles. An indication of the
position can be seen by the index marks on the rear of the enclosure (Figure 13).
The angle should be set to optimise solar exposure during the winter months, a
guide for a given latitude (South or North) is to set the angle to:
• 30° at latitudes between 0° and 30°
• 40° at latitudes between 20° and 30°
• 50° at latitudes greater than 30°
Note that in the southern hemisphere the enclosure must be oriented such that the
panel faces true north. In the northern hemisphere the panel must face true south.
Note that true heading and magnetic heading will differ according to the magnetic
declination of the local area.
