Introduction Congratulation for aquiring a DEGERtraker 7000NT. You decided for a high quality dual-axis solar tracking system which can be used for all current photovoltaic solar modules. Maximum solar yield... can be achieved with the DEGERtraker tracking system. By using the DEGERtraker tracking system, you are truly acknowledging the signs of our times: you are not only protecting our environment and nature but you are increasing your yield and thus achieving amortisation sooner. Maintenance-free.
1. Security advices The installed DEGERtraker tracking system has to be protected against trepassing in its hole sphere of action by adapted measures, for example by errecting a fence. While assemblage of the DEGERtraker 7000NT or parts of the system and while the system is put into operation some risks of injury exist caused by moveable parts of the tracking system.

2.3 Assembly Foundation and Mast 1st step: - build soil - build in ductwork (not in the picture) - arrange reinforcement mat to support the bracing (proposal to create a round bracing) (dimensions of the foundation see page 8 and 9) - build in reinforcement ( Pos. 2 plan of reinforcement ). use reinforcing bar spacer 2nd step: - build in staff steel (Pos. 2 plan of reinforcement) (also see step 4) - build in bearing for mast (high ca. 10 cm) in central position - build in reinforcement (Pos.
6st step: Pos.1 - point mast into the quiver The position of the drills in the flange don`t have to be attended - adjust the mast vertical - fix the mast - filling and compaction of the quiver with concrete Cable conduit We recommend to place a junction box at the side of the foundation. (see drawing beside) For the lines between junction box an rotation head use flexible rubber pipes. Reinforcement of foundation Ø 2.70m; height: 0.
Dimension of foundation and mast Dimensions with standard-mast: Deviation of standard-mast: length of the tube: 2,70m total length of the mast: 3,30m length of restraint: 0,70m mast profile: 323.9 x 7.1mm In case of using a mast that deviates to the standard-mast (length 3.30m) the dimensions of the foundation and of the mast listed below have to be abode like listed below.
2.4 Assembly of Integrated Motor East-West (IMO) 7th step: - mounting cover for mast with „boomerang“ (Pos. 15) on the top of the mast (drive in with a rubber mallet) Pos.15 The tip of the “boomerang” must point in a southward direction (+/-3°). Use a GPS device or refer to the surveyor’s plan of the property to determine the south position. (a compass is not precise enough) Pos.1 ATTENTION! Cable feed through Use flexible rubber pipes.
2.5 Assembly of the base frame 1st step: Pos.3 Suspend the base frame (Pos.3) by using a crane in such a way that the bore holes at the tip of rotation of the base frame are at the top and the connection for the EL motor (EMO) is on the left. . Pos.2 Pos.12 + Pos.13 Pos.3 Pos.1 2nd step: Built in stainless steel bolt M24x180 (Pos.11) with washer M24 (Pos.13) and nut M24 (Pos.12).
2.6 Assembly of Elevation-Motor (EMO) Pos.6 Pos.5 M14x70 1st step: Fix Elevation motor (EMO) (Pos. 4) at the base frame (Pos. 3) by using bolt M14x70 (Pos. 5), nut M14 (Pos. 6) and washer M14 (Pos. 7). Attention needs to be paid to the bore holes for dewatering. They need to be on the lower side. Pos.4 Pos.3 Pos.2 2nd step: Fix Elevation motor at the rotation head (Pos.2) by using the spezial screws M12x50 (Pos.8). Therefore the enclosed thread locking fluid (Pos. 14) has to be used.
2.7 Assembly of module carry system Module arrangement: The following dimensions have to be abode and have to be reduced according to regional conditions if necessary: - Module surface: - length of Module surface: - high of Module surface: max. 60m² max. 11,40m max.
2.8 Assembly of the modules Between the modules Pos. 24 M6 + Pos. 25 Pos.23 Assemble modules on the aluminium profiles (Pos.16) by using bolt M6 (Pos. 24), clamp plate (Pos. 23) and sliding nut M6 (Pos. 25) Pos. 22 M8x30 + Pos. 25 Pos.16 At the end of the module-surface Pos.20 Pos.16 Both the clamp MTH and the bolts will have to be assembled with a sliding nut as shown beside.
2.9 Assembly of the control unit 1st step: Fixing energy converter Pos.26 Pos.2 The energy converter (Pos. 26) can be mounted at the rotating head (Pos. 2) or at the base frame (Pos. 3). Pos.3 Pos.27 2nd step: Controlling the East-West axis Mount the DEGERconecter with the inscription ‘OstWest’ (Pos. 27) pointing UPWARDS above the solar module surface.
3. Technical describtion 3.1 Functional describtion 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 SouthGermany in 2000 shows that the DEGERtraker meets the demands of both experts and investors. The proven static design of the DEGERtraker is based on DIN 1055-4 (8.86) and DIN 1056 (10.84) for installation up to 8m.
