System Test
Step 1 - Assemble the solar panel to the bracket
Assemble solar panel mounting bracket to the solar panel using the supplied mounting hardware.
STEP 2 - Attach the Light
Remove 2 x mounting nuts and spring washers from the bolts on the bottom of the main enclosure
Attach LED light onto the 2 bolts using washer and spring washers supplied.
Connect light with 4 PIN connector and screw down locking ring
Ensure that the heads of the bolts on the bottom bracket are inside the enclosure, as the battery needs to sit on to of them.
Step 4 - Pole Mounting Bracket
You will need to bolt the mounting bracket to a suitable pole using ++. This is how the enclosure attaches to the bracket.
Step 5 - Dongle Setup
(only necessary if you are supplying your own Data SIM card).
If you are supplying your own data plan you must ensure that the card is activated, with sufficient data. The system will not work unless you have an active card.
You will find the dongle inside the enclosure plugged into the router. Pull the Dongle out of the router to insert the Data SIM card.
Slide the top cover off the dongle and ensure that the SIM card is inserted with the gold connector facing downwards.
Insert SIM card like this. The SIM Card cutout must be in the position highlighted.
Note - if you are supplying your own Data SIM card you must ensure the card has been activated and has sufficient data. The system will not work unless this step has been followed.
Re-insert the Telstra Dongle into the USB slot in the router.
Step 6 - System Test
Connect the extension lead to the battery as in the picture. (You can discard this lead when installing the system on site). This will make the system initiate and start running.
You will see a RED and a BLUE light on the main mother board. As highlighted below. After a few seconds the BLUE light will start blinking. This indicates that the code has loaded and is running successfully. After about two minutes the camera will be registered on the Spectur server and will be live.
Step 7 - Go online to check your system
Open your secure login on your computer and enter your username and password. This can be accessed from www.spectur.com.au. There is a LOGIN button top right of the screen. If you have not received your login details please call 1 300 802 960 and ask for assistance.

Once you have logged in you should see live images refreshing on your Live View Screen. If this is working correctly please disconnect the battery as soon as possible to avoid draining the battery prior to installation.
You are now ready to install your system on site.
