7.
Mount the Tracker onto the Tripod, orienting it such that the "N" marking on the lower Tracker
flange is pointing approximately toward geographic North.
Remove Covers from the Tracker, and locate the Safety Switch - monitor the Switch during
8.
the following operation so it does not become activated, and the nylon cord does not become
broken.
9.
Place a spirit level on top of the Tracker and do not move it for the duration of the following
levelling operation.
10. Rotate the Tracker slowly while observing the spirit level, being careful not to activate the
Safety Switch or break the nylon cord.
Adjust the three levelling bolts on the Tripod Legs until the Tracker can be rotated a full turn
with the bubble in the level remaining constant.
Note that the bubble does not have to be in the mid-position, so long as it does not change
position by any large amount.
11. When the Tracker is level, mount the Brewer , and interconnect all of the cables between the
Computer, the Tracker, and the Brewer.
12. In order for the Surge Suppressor circuitry to be effective, the Brewer System must be
connected to a good "Earth Ground".
The Surge Suppressor is located in an assembly mounted to the underside of the Tracker,
and a wire braid connects it to a bolt on the Tracker Flange.
The "Earth Ground" must be attached to this bolt, and routed under the Tracker such that it
does not interfer with the Power Cable or the Communications Cable.
13. Since the Tracker folows the azimuth of the Sun for 24 hours each day, it must rotate in a
clockwise direction from 0° to 360° , and then return to 0° in a counterclockwise direction.
Sufficient slack in Power and Data cables must be left near the Tracker to allow for this
movement.
14. Turn Brewer and Tracker power ON and observe that the the two Power Indicators illuminate
and that the Brewer initializes.
15. Turn the Computer power ON and launch the Brewer program.
Following Brewer initialization, the Main Menu will appear on the screen.
