1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
This operating manual has been written for the DEGERtracker systems S60H. It is part of the product and
must be kept over the entire lifetime of the DEGERtracker. Upon completion of the installation, the
contractor/installer shall provide a copy of the operating manual to the owner of the PV system, or any
subsequent purchaser/owner of the PV system.
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 (horizontal/table position), until the function of the wind monitor has
been tested.
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. 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.
DEGER recommends an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to ensure the function of the wind monitor.

2 Product description
2.1 Short description of the DEGERtracker
The DEGERtracker has been designed and dimensioned for use with standard photovoltaic modules. With
its patented control and the patent protected mechanics, the DEGERtracker precisely follows the sun at any
time, or, in the case of a cloudy sky, manoeuvres to the point of highest light intensity. The MLD-control is
designed to work with maximum efficiency and to perform only such movements which will result in an
immediate increase in yield.
2.2 Product identification
The label is attached to the rocker arm.
2.3 For your safety
2.3.1 Intended use of the DEGERtracker

3 Unloading and temporary storage
3.1 Unloading from truck
3.1.1 Notes on unloading
DANGER!
Danger to life due to suspended loads.
If heavy parts swing out and fall down they can cause severe or even fatal injuries.
Never step under or into the slewing range of suspended loads.
Move loads only under supervision.
Use only lifting gear and lifting tackle of appropriate capacity for the weight of the component to
be lifted.
Do not use any cracked or torn lifting tackle, like ropes or belts.
Ensure adequate free space when unloading. When several systems are delivered, parts are up
to 7.13 m long.
Packaging items can be found in the “delivery information”. The “delivery information” is available
from DEGER.
Take care of eccentric centre of gravity.
Wear hard hat, safety shoes and safety gloves.
WARNING!
Danger of injury by sharp edged parts!
When unloading the parts of the DEGERtracker, sharp edged parts can cause serious hand
injuries.
Wear safety gloves.
The DEGERtracker is delivered in a compact bundled form. Appropriate hoisting gear (forklift truck,
excavator, crane), can be used for unloading at the site and only be operated by trained personnel who have
been specially instructed for this purpose.
3.1.2 Dimensions and weights
The weight of the individual packages can be found in the "Loading list", which is attached to the freight
documents.
For the weights of individual assemblies and parts please refer to the chapter "Scope of delivery" of the bill of
materials.
3.2 Temporary storage
DANGER!
Danger to life caused by uncontrolled moving parts!
If heavy parts swing out and fall down they can cause severe or even fatal injuries.
Use a flat surface for intermediate storage. In the case of very soft soil it is highly recommended to place
timber beams under the steel parts.
Strictly comply with the climatic conditions listed in the chapter "Technical data".

5 Preparing for the assembly of the DEGERtracker
5.1 Notes on creating the base
The base may only be prepared by expert personnel.
Documentation can be downloaded from www.DEGER.biz in the traders’ area.
Care must be taken to ensure sufficient space in the area around the DEGERtracker and module
area when mounting connection boxes or similar items.
5.1.1 Concrete base
A formwork and reinforcement diagram for the particular foundation, as shown below, can be obtained for
each DEGERtracker on request –you must observe the instructions given in the diagrams! This diagram will
be sent with the order confirmation. The diagram shown is only intended as a sample drawing.
We recommend having the foundation reinforcement approved by a qualified engineer or technician before
concreting.
The necessary bearing capacity of the subsoil is 140 kN/m². The angle of internal friction is 30°. This values
must be checked for correctness and documented by the site manager in charge. A substratum expert has to
be contacted if there is any uncertainty.
In regions and with soils at risk of frost, further measures must be taken to ensure frost protection, e.g. frost-
proof sub-base or lean-mixed concrete fill down to the frost line.

6 Assembling the DEGERtracker
DANGER!
Danger to life due to suspended loads.
If heavy components swivel out and fall down, this may result in serious injury or even death.
