Page 6
These assembly instructions were created for the DEGERtracker. They are a component of the product and
must be saved for the entire lifespan of the DEGERtracker. The assembly instructions must be included with
the DEGERtracker should it be transferred to another party.
Read these assembly instructions in their entirety before starting assembly work and keep them available
at all times during the assembly process.
Only qualified personnel may perform assembly work.
Keep all objects out of the theDEGERtracker’sfull range of pivoting motion throughout its full range of
motion.
Take necessary actions to protect the installed DEGERtracker in its full range of motion from unauthorized
access, such as enclosing it within a fence. Near the entry area to the DEGERtracker there must be a
warning sign stating that it is prohibited to remain within the range of pivoting motion.
Lightning protection and grounding must be installed in all photovoltaic systems according to country-
specific guidelines as stipulated in DIN VDE 0185 and 0100.
Do not operate the DEGERtracker if the wind guard is not functioning. Always keep the module surface in
the SAFE position (table position) until the wind guard has been tested for function.
If snow has accumulated on the module surface, the module surface must first be cleared. This is
accomplished by manually controlling via the CTC software, the joy stick or through the snow sensor. If no
functioning CTC remote access, joy stick and/or snow sensor is available, the module surface must be
cleared manually. The snow sensor shall not release the module surface from the obligation to be cleared
of snow.
DEGER recommends an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to ensure the function of the wind monitor.
As a rule, DEGER’s General Terms and Conditions shall apply. The contents of these documents are
