Manual Control Option
10
FUNCTION:
Most manual controls are installed on Wattsun Dual-Axis Trackers rather than on Single-Axis Units.
The Manual Control Option allows the user to bypass automatic tracking and to move the tracker East,
West, North, or South. The Manual Control Option is typically installed on your tracker before it leaves
Array Technologies. However it is available as an upgrade kit that can be installed in the field.
The Manual Control Option requires that power be available to the Wattsun Tracker Controller. If the
controller is connected to the main battery bank, then you can use the manual controls day or night. If
you power the tracker controller from the array, then you will be limited to the daylight hours.
HIGH WIND AREAS:
If the tracker is run to a full North position, the array lays flat in a horizontal stow position. This is
especially useful if you experience very strong winds or tropical storms and you want to reduce the
wind loading on your tracker.
HIGH SNOW AREAS:
If the tracker is run to a full South position, the array elevates up to a 75-degree angle. This is useful
for dumping any snow accumulation on the array.
SWITCHES:
Automatic / Manual - Flip Down for Auto Tracking or flip Up to enable Manual Tracking.
East / West - Hold left to track East or hold right to track West.
North / South - Hold up to track South (elevate) or hold down to track North (flatten).
