1 General
1.1
Introduction
This operating manual has been written for the DEGERtracker systems D60H, D80 and D100. It is part of the
product and must be kept over the entire lifetime of the DEGERtracker. If the DEGERtracker is passed on to
a third party, the assembly manual must also be passed on.
1.2
Fundamental safety notes
This assembly manual must be read completely before the start of assembly work and should always be
available during all assembly work.
Assembly work must only be carried out by qualified specialist personnel.
The total slewing range of the DEGERtracker must be kept free of any objects.
The entire action range of the installed DEGERtracker must be protected against unauthorized access by
applying appropriate measures, e.g. a fence. A clear notice to stay clear of the slewing range is mandatory
and must be attached at the accessing area to the DEGERtracker.
For all photovoltaic systems acc. to DIN VDE 0185 or 0100 the lightning protection and grounding must be
executed according to country specific guidelines.
Operation of the DEGERtracker must not be started without a fully functional wind monitor. The module
surface must be kept in SAFE position (table position), until the function of the wind monitor has been
tested. For more information see assembly instruction
“MLD Control EC-6-with CCB”.
If snow has accumulated on the module surface, the module surface must first be cleared. This is
accomplished by manually controlling via the CCB or through the snow sensor (optional for DEGERtracker
D60H). If no functioning CCB and/or snow sensor is available, the module surface must be cleared
manually. The snow sensor shall not release from the clearance obligation of the module surface from
snow.
For the DEGERtracker D60H the max. permissible load is 35 kg/m² (this corresponds with approx. 8 cm
wet snow and approx. 15 cm powder snow).
For DEGERtrackers D80 and D100 the module surface must be cleared if the load reaches and exceeds
10 kg/m² (this corresponds with approx. 2 cm wet snow and approx. 4 cm powder snow).
DEGER recommends an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to ensure the function of the wind monitor.
