These are designed to be fixed onto the mesh cages that house the loggers, occupying roughly one quarter of the mesh panel. Some shaded spots may require a larger panel, and for such spots there are also 20W panels available.

19 -The LPR loggers have no built in solar charge controller, thus, an external regulator is placed between the solar panel and logger. This regulator steps the voltage down from the panels voltage (typically 20V) to 12V.

29 29  Both LPR and Terrasawr loggers utilise the standard BNC connector type GPS antennas. These are easy locking connectors, with a long cable and magnetic GPS unit attached, making it incredibly simple to fix to any kind of metal enclosure. Double sided tape or some other adhesive could also be applied to the flat back of these GPS units for any surface that is not magnetised.
