1.1. Glossary
2. Safety information
2.1. Warnings, cautions and notes
2.2 Electrical Safety
The voltages used in the Solar Tracking Control System cannot cause electrical shock or burns but anyway, the user has
to extreme care at all times when working with or adjacent to the control system equipment. Specific warnings are
given at the relevant places in this User Manual.
2.3 System Assembly and General Warning

2.4 Installation Risks
Concerning errors during the installation of the equipment:
•If the DBoard is supplied with inverse polarity: The device integrates input reverse polarity protection, but a
continued exposure to reverse polarity may break the input protection. The cables are differenced by two
colors to help minimize the chances of error (red and black).
2.5 Radio Frequency (RF)
Safety Due to the possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference, it is important that you follow all the special
regulations that may apply regarding the use of radio equipment. Follow the safety advice given below.
Operating your device close to other electronic equipment may cause interference if the equipment is inadequately
protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.
2.6 Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices
Potential interference
Radio frequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is electromagnetic
interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted cardiac pacemakers
and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the Advancement of Medical
Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. This standard allows manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and
defibrillators are safe from cellular device EMI.
The FDA continues to monitor cellular devices for interactions with other medical devices. If harmful interference
occurs, the FDA will assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.
Precautions for pacemaker wearers
Based on current research, devices do not pose a significant health problem for most pacemaker wearers. However,
people with pacemakers may want to take simple precautions to be sure that their device does not cause a problem. If
EMI occurs, it could affect a pacemaker in one of three ways:
•Stop the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart rhythm.
•Cause the pacemaker to deliver the pulses irregularly.
•Cause the pacemaker to ignore the heart own rhythm and deliver pulses at a fixed rate.
•Keep the device on the opposite side of the body from the pacemaker to add extra distance between the
pacemaker and the device.
•Avoid placing a turned-on device next to the pacemaker.
Device Maintenance
When maintaining your device:
•Do not attempt to disassemble the device. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
•Do not expose the DBoard directly to any extreme environment where the temperature or humidity is high.
•Do not expose the DBoard directly to water, rain, or spilled beverages. It is not waterproof.
•Do not place the DBoard alongside computer discs, credit or travel cards, or other magnetic media. The
information contained on discs or cards may be affected by the device.
Using accessories, such as antennas, that PVH has not authorized may invalidate the warranty. If the device is not
working properly, contact PVH Technical Support.

4. Installation instructions
4.1. Power the DBoard
The DBOARD is powered through one SPT 2.5/4-V-5.0 connector in the left lower part of the board. 24VDC powered,
this power supply may come from an AC/DC converter, battery, DC/DC converter, etc.
Mostly of the power supply will work with the DBOARD, but the condensers in the input may be considered.
Regulated source between 5 - 30V on 24V with current limiting and short circuit protection.
When the DBOARD is powered, the PWR LED must be ON.
4.2. Program the DBoard
Through the JT1 connector the firmware of the DBOARD should be loaded in the microcontroller memory. The micro
can access to the NFC EEPROM memory, where, as example, the user could write the configurable parameters for
commissioning the board.
5. Commissioning procedure
The commissioning procedure may be carried out by writing in the NFC memory of the board. Then the firmware may
use this data stored in the memory to control and interact with the devices attached to the board.
To facilitate the commissioning, it is based on a smartphone application developed by DEEPTRACK. This application runs
in any android smartphone with NFC implemented. In case of a bad NFC implementation of the phone there can be
some difficulties to connect, so we recommend using one of the following devices that have been validated by the
application developers:
-Huawei Y8 2018
-Motorola G6
The commissioning consists on set the parameters in every DBOARD by writing them in its NFC memory. If LoRa is
required, the application must also write the radio and unique ID data automatically in the NFC memory.
WARNING
Equipment intended to build in without enclosure. Additional
means shall be provided in order to protect user against
mechanical, thermal, and electrical shock risks. It shall be
evaluated at the final installation.
WARNING
The board should not be connected while the power supply is on.
