Congratulation for aquiring a DEGERtraker.
You decided on a high quality dual-axis solar tracking system which is suitable for all current photovoltaic
solar modules.
Maximum solar yield:
The maximum solar yield can be achieved with the DEGERtraker tracking system.
By using the DEGERtraker tracking system, you are truly acknowledging the power of nature: you are not
only protecting our environment and nature but you are increasing your yield and thus achieving ROI sooner.
During the day, the DEGERtraker aligns itself like a sunflower following the sun or the brightest source of
light.
Maintenance-free. Long-life. Recyclable.
The systems designed to these exacting parameters are mass-produced in an ISO 9001-certified factory
under environmentally sound conditions. DEGERtraker systems are truly 99.9% recyclable.
Compared with rigid systems, the amount of electronic scrap after useful life is 40% lower!
Quick installation.
Pre-assembled components with detailed instructions allow an installation within less than four hours (after
the mast has been erected).
A technology to rely on.
The fact that the patent-protected control system and the utility model-protected mechanical system were
awarded the inventor’s prize of the federal state of Baden-Württemberg in South-Germany in 2000 shows
that the DEGERtraker meets the demands of both experts and investors.
Since this award the control unit and the mechanical system have been improved continuously. The design
of the DEGERtrakers is done according to DIN 1055-4 (3/2005) with independent certification.
Scope of delivery.
Complete dual-axis tracking system: mast, rotating head, supporting frame, aluminium solar module carrier
system - to fit the respective module type.
Control electronics: DEGERconecter with energy converter for extremely economical operation, wind monitor
and optional sunlight sensor and security sensor.
Foundation plan and this assembly instructions.
ATTENTION!
Read all of the instructions prior to working with the
equipment and save these Assembly Instructions!
The installation of the DEGERtraker may only be conducted by suitable specialists!
We recommend that the system be inspected by a master electrician, or at least a person with
equivalent qualification, after completion.
A fault report (page VII-3) must be submitted in order to process complaints. Complaints cannot be
processed if fault reports have not been filled out correctly!! (the serial number of the defect system
