- Plug the camera ethernet cable and main power cable into the power box.
- Flip the two breakers in the cabinet to the on position and ensure it is on via the blue light on the bottom of the power box. Call Customer Service to verify proper installation. Have the camera ID located on your camera ready for verification.

- Remove the mast locking pin keys from the lockbox on your mast. Unlock the mast locking pin.
- Insert the mast locking pin through the lockout hole, then lock the pin. Return the keys to the lockbox.
- To minimize cable load, crank the mast back down until the locking pin no longer moves.
- With turnbuckles of each tether assembly extended to their full capacity, fasten each to the anchor points on the jacks. Be sure each tether assembly is attached to the corresponding mast leg.
- Tighten each turnbuckle until tether assemblies are evenly taut. Do not over torque.
- Reinstall the ethernet cable to the power box. Flip breakers in the battery cabinet to the on position. Verify the blue light on the bottom of the power box is on.
- To tamper proof your system, ensure all cranks are strapped into the battery cabinet and all keys are in the lockbox. Zip-tie the camera cables in an orderly fashion off the ground to avoid disturbance.
