Pay attention to the panel wires at the stepper motor attachment point. They should go into the specially provided slots. Они должны заходить в специально отведенные для них прорези (picture 20).
Picture 20.
Use four M2x8 screws to attach the limit switches to the housing elements (picture 21).
Picture 21.
Pay attention to the color of the limit switches and the markings on the housing, they should match!
Use five M3x10 screws to connect the limit switches to the main housing (picture 22).
Picture 22.
Pay attention to the position of the limit switches: if you place the housing with the camera facing up, the green switch will be on the right and the white on the left!
Close the solar panel housing with the cover using six M3x10 screws (picture 23).
