Only qualified personnel may perform assembly work. Keep all objects out of the the DEGER system’s full range of pivoting motion throughout its full range of motion. Take necessary actions to protect the installed DEGER system in its full range of motion from unauthorized access, such as enclosing it within a fence.
Symbols used The following symbols appear on the DEGER system and are used in the present document: No unauthorized access Read and follow the operating manuals and safety information before start-up Presentation of information 1.5.1 Lists and instructions Lists Lists have bullet points:...
This function ensures the module surface is facing east the next morning to receive the first rays of sunlight. The motor will switch on for 12 minutes once the EK-S1 has not registered a signal at terminal XG1 for more than 4 hours.

3 Manual Control Joystick Functions The external Joystick can be plugged into socket XJ1 during operation of the EK-S1 after removing the cover of the housing. Automatic mode and manual mode from CTC is deactivated once the joystick is plugged in.
______________________________________________________________________________________ NOTE! Anemometer assembly directly on the tracker is not allowed!!! Connection The anemometer is equipped with a 20 m connection cable. The cable has to be connected to the EK-S1 as described in chapters 2.3 and 6. ____________________________________________________________________________________ NOTE! An anemometer does not have to be installed on every DEGER system in a solar energy plant that has several systems.
The snow sensor has to be mounted to the eastern side of the modules positioned next to the middle of the tracker. It is suitable for module heights up to 65 mm. 27.06.2019 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS MLD CONTROL EK-S1 Page 14...
The snow sensor housing should not stick out above or sit below the module surface. Torque: 19 Nm Connection The snow sensor is equipped with a 5 m connection cable. The cable has to be connected to the EK-S1 as described in chapters 2.3 and 6. ____________________________________________________________________________________ NOTE! A snow sensor does not have to be installed on every DEGER system in a solar energy plant that has several systems.
Only trained and qualified personnel may connect the EK-S1 to external devices. ______________________________________________________________________________________ DANGER! The external voltage supply must meet the regional regulations. The EK-S1 must have mandatory disconnection ability from the supply voltage by a 6A-B circuit breaker. The circuit breaker must be fully accessible.
CAN-Low, i.e. pin 2 and pin 7 of the D-Sub 9 female plug, which is needed to connect the CAN-Bus cable to the adapter. The termination at the EK-S1’s is made onboard, so you don’t need a resistor at the last unit in the CAN-bus chain.
DEGER system in case of a power failure into safety position. The UPS must be dimensioned to deliver a power of 180 Watt for at least 10 minutes per EK-S1. Furthermore the UPS has to be designed to be in accordance with local environment and the legal regulations.
Contact with live components can be fatal due to electric shock. The external voltage supply must meet the regional regulations. The EK-S1 must be able to be disconnected from the power supply by a 6A-B circuit breaker. The circuit breaker must be fully accessible.
EK-S1. The rotary drive must be moved along the entire path to ensure that the DEGER system mechanism can move freely and that all cables are long enough for the entire range of motion.

______________________________________________________________________________________ DANGER! When conducting tests on the DEGER system, ensure that all parts have been disconnected from the power supply by an electrical circuit breaker, provided by the client. When conducting tests where there is live voltage, take appropriate actions to prevent injury to persons and property damage.
