1st step: Fixing energy converter
Fix the energy converter at the cover of gear casing of the
rotating head by using the provided screws M3.9 x 13.
Therefore prefabricated holes are in the cover.
2nd step: Controling the east-west axis
Mount the DEGER
conecter
with the
inscription ‘Ost-
West‘ pointing
UPWARDS
above the solar module
surface. If the DEGERconecter is mounted out of centre,
it should be placed on the eastern side of the module
surface.

Connect the cable of the azimut-actuator
(drive motor east-west)
blue cable connection 3
brown cable connection 4
Function test:
Check if the drive rotates the module surface towards the brightest spot in the sky. If you are not sure, you
can cover a sensor cell at the DEGER
conecter
with your hand
– now the module surface should rotate in
the direction of the non-covered sensor cell. Otherwise change connection 3 / 4
3rd step:
Controlling the elevation axis
Mount the DEGER
conecter
with the inscription
‘elevation’
LATERALLY
at the solar module
surface. (left side; seen from the front side)
Connect the cable of the elevation-actuator
(drive motor for elevation)
blue cable connection 1
brown cable connection 2
Function test:
Check if the drive rotates the module surface towards the brightest spot in the sky. When the sky is cloudy
the control will move the module surface into the horizontal. In this case, too, if you are not sure, you can
cover a sensor cell at the DEGER
conecter
– then the module surface should rotate in the direction of the
non-covered sensor cell. Otherwise change connection 3 / 4
ATTENTION!
It must be no cable between the rotating head and the
base frame.
