Step by Step Instructions
1. Unlock the support access with the attached keys and remove it from the support.
2. Pull out and hold the hook-like metal bolt and turn the support clockwise until the bolt can reach the hole on the other side and lock in place. Then release the bolt.
3. Pull out the curved pin, then remove the metal bolt to unlock the support.

19. Slide the O Ring Bolt through the holes on both sides of the control box base and mast.
20. Secure the O Ring Bolt with the O Ring Nut.
21. Remove the plastic covers of the power ports on the bottom of the Controller Box.
22. Connect the Black power connector, attached to the black power cable on the side of the mast, to the port with the yellow cover. Make sure it locks in place.
23. Connect the Silver power connector, attached to the black power cable on the side of the mast, to the port with the black cover. Twist the end to lock it in place.
24. Unscrew the black knob screw on one of the camera mounts on the controller box.
25. Push up and then pull out the camera mounting plate to remove it from the controller box.
26. Locate and retrieve the bag of Ethernet waterproofing covers.
27. Put the plastic waterproof nut over the ethernet cable on the controller box.
28. Place the rubber waterproof apron over the ethernet cable and slide it into the plastic waterproof nut.
29. Put the plastic waterproof connector over the ethernet cable. Then slide it into the plastic waterproof nut and twist it to lock it in place.
30. Put the rubber O ring over the ethernet cable and slide it into the plastic waterproof connector.
31. Take the camera’s pigtail and side it through the opening in the mounting plate.
32. Locate and retrieve the bag of hex screws.
33. Put a screw through the hole on the camera’s mount and then through the mounting plate. Screw the hex screw in place. Repeat on the 3 other holes on the camera’s mount and the mounting plate.
34. Connect the end of the ethernet cable on the control box to the port on the pigtail of the camera. Then push the waterproof connector over the port and twist it to lock it in place.
35. Slide the mounting plate back onto the control box and screw the black knob screw back on to secure it.
36. Repeat the process for up to 3 other cameras.
37. Locate and retrieve one of the analog speakers, one of the speaker mounting plates, and the bag of hex screws.
38. Put 3 hex screws through the holes on the speaker’s angle arm and then through the mounting plate. Screw all 3 screws until they are secure.
39. Unscrew the black knob screw on one of the speaker mounts on the controller box.
40. Place the speaker mount on the controller box and screw the black knob screw back on to secure it.
41. Remove the covers on the audio and power connectors on the controller box.
42. Plug the audio input cable of the speaker into the audio output port on the controller box. Plug the power cable on the speaker into the power connector on the controller box.
Note: Ensure all connections are applied with waterproof electrical tape.
43. Repeat the process for the other speaker.
44. Unscrew the black knob screw on the flood light mount on the controller box.
45. Locate and retrieve the pre-mounted floodlight.
46. Place the floodlight on the controller box. Then screw the black knob screw back onto the controller box to secure the floodlight. Remove the cover on the power connector on the controller box.
47. Plug the power cable on the floodlight into the power connector on the controller box.
Note: Ensure all connections are applied with waterproof electrical tape.
48. Locate and retrieve the steel cables.
49. Unspool the steel cables. Then connect the single carabiner on one end of one of the cables to one of the supports on the side of the LumiGuardian trailer nearest to the control box.
50. Connect one of the two carabiners on the other end of the steel cable to the carabiner on the mast closest to the support, and the other carabiner to the bottom of the control box.
51. Repeat this process for the other support on the other side of the control box.
52. Locate and retrieve the yellow crank handle.
53. Remove the wingnut and nut from the yellow crank connector on the mast.
54. Place the yellow crank handle on the crank connector on the mast, ensuring it fits properly on the silver metal connector. Place the nut over it and then the wingnut. Tighten the wingnut to secure the crank handle.
55. Crank the yellow hand crank clockwise to raise the mast. Stop when the red line appears on the mast. Do not crank past that point.
56. Use the small silver key from the lockbox to unlock the electrical box. Pull and hold the metal handle outward with one hand, while using the other hand to lift the plastic black handle upward to open the electrical box. Then locate the power switches.
57. Set the Power Mode via the Power Switches:
- To set to Normal Mode (Charging via the Solar Panels and running power to the Controller Box), turn on switches QF1, QF2, and QF3; keep QF4 in the off position.
- To set to Charging Mode (Charging the battery via the Solar Panels, with the Controller Box off), turn on switches QF1, QF2, and QF4; keep QF3 in the off position.
Note: Make sure to turn the switches on in order from left to right. Also, do not constantly turn the switches on and off; it could cause damage to the circuit breakers.
Close the cover to the electrical box.
58. Setup is complete.
Optional: Charging Mode via Power Cable
Note: Charging via power cable should only be performed if there is little to no light available to charge via the solar panels. LumiGuardian will prioritize charging via only one power source (Solar Panel or Power Cable) based on whichever is inputting more wattage into the system. When there is enough light available, LumiGuardian will charge faster via solar panel.
1. Using a C13 power cable (not included) you can charge the LumiGuardian trailer via power from a wall plug.
2. Open the cover on the power port on the side of the electrical box.
3. Connect the power cable to the power port and then plug it into a wall socket or surge protector.
4. Use the small silver key from the lockbox to unlock the electrical box. Pull on the handle to open the electrical box. Then locate the power supply box.
5. Turn the AC Input switch to the On position.
6. Locate the power switches
7. Turn on switches QF1, QF2, and QF4; keep QF3 in the off position.
Note: Make sure to turn the switches on in order from left to right. Also, do not constantly turn the switches on and off; it could cause damage to the circuit breakers.
Close the cover to the electrical box.
