ELEVATION ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY FOR DUAL-AXIS OPERATION:
Do not unscrew the inner tube of the elevation actuator! This destroys the factory pre-set mechanical upper and
lower limit switch settings. Install the elevation actuator. Center both the eyelet end (the top) of the elevation
actuator inside the forks and the elevation actuator clamp eyelet (the bottom). Firmly tighten the locknuts on the
bolt threads.
UPPER CONNECTION
LOWER CONNECTION
Your tracker is shipped with a 36" stroke linear actuator. Make sure that the motor armature (can) is on the upper
side of the actuator. That ensures that any moisture that might collect will drain out and away from the electrical
connections.
The actuator has a two cam-micro switch assembly that defines the limit of the
extension and contraction. They are preset at the factory and there is no need to
adjust them.
Do not unscrew the inner tube of the actuator when you are installing it. It will disturb
the limit switch presets.
Do not change the location of the lower eye clamp. It is preset for your tracker. The
clamp bolts have been pre-tightened to grip the body of the actuator securely. If you
over tighten them, the clamp will deform the body of the outer tube. The
deformations will cause scarring on the inner tube as it extends and withdraws.
If you have special circumstances or concerns then please contact your distributor or
Array technologies immediately.
