2nd step: Assembly of aluminium profiles
(DEGERtraker 5000NT, 5000HD, 6000NT, 7000NT and 9000NT)
Assemble aluminum profile
on both sides at the outside
of the base frame by using clamp MTH,
bolt M 10 x 35 and sliding nut M10. The clamp MTH has to slide along inside the aluminum profile towards
the base frame until the bolt contacts the base frame.
In the range of the suspension for the elevation motor it is not possible to assemble the MTH-clamps at the
outside of the base frame. Here the MTH-clamps have to be assembled at the inside of the base frame.
torque: 35NM
Tip:
Bring the DEGERtraker in a horizontal position
– then it will be easier to mount the moduls
3rd step: Assembly of the modules
ATTENTION!
The total module area is to be determined relative to the site with the aid of the DEGERenergie
dimensioning tool and may in no case exceed the maximum allowable total module surface.
Maximum total module surface
DEGERtraker 3000NT / 3000HD:
25m²
DEGERtraker 5000NT / 5000HD:
40m²
DEGERtraker 6000NT:
53m²
DEGERtraker 7000NT:
60m²
DEGERtraker 9000NT:
70m²
Defects resulting from a too large module surface are not covered by the warranty. As soon as the solar
modules are installed you have to install a functioning windguardt or the module surface has to stay in a
horizontal position. Because the elevation motor is not completely self-locking, it is possible that
the
module surface can move to a steeper position in strong winds. In order to avoid this situation, the motor
connections should be kept short. It is recommended that the module surface position be inspected on a
daily basis until commissioning is finalized!
Note the module mounting:
DEGERenergie supplies the tracking system, incl. aluminum rails and standard mounting hardware
to fasten the modules. The scope of delivery from DEGERenergie does not include module specific
mounting hardware.
Assembly of the modules is permitted only on the already-assembled base frame.
Module assembly beforehand is not permitted.
