1 OVERVIEW OF REVISIONS
Rev. 0 25.05.2023
Rev. 1 13.06.2023 → Update 3.8 Storage Regulations
The 5 Rules of Safety should always be followed when working with electrical
parts:
- Isolate
- Protect against unauthorized restarting
- Confirm absence of voltage
- Ground and short circuit
- Cover neighboring live parts or make them inaccessible
• Always use personal protective equipment that includes, but is not limited to a
safety helmet, safety boots, and safety gloves.
• Never enter the restricted area during a thunderstorm or severe weather.
• In the event that a thunderstorm or severe weather occurs while you are in the
restricted area, leave that area immediately and seek shelter.
• Never enter the restricted area alone.
• Never stand within the tracker’s slewing range.
• The solar modules must be treated as live parts.
• The design load the tracker is designed to is 800Pa with a safety factor of 1,5
according to UL 2703.
• The Bonding Grounding has been evaluated according to UL2703.
• Never install damaged parts.
• Only schooled workers are allowed to enter the restricted area
This symbol indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in
damage to or destruction of the Product or other property.

Assembly Tools
Ideematec Deutschland, Ideematec Inc. and its affiliates expressly disclaim any and all
liability for any injury or damage resulting from the following:
• Failure to follow the safety information stipulated in this Manual and/or any other
operating Manual provided by the manufacturer or its affiliates
• Failure to follow the safety information provided on the product
• Failure to comply with national and international standards and directives
• Improper transportation
• Improper storage
• Improper use of the product or use in a manner other than which was intended
by the manufacturer or its affiliates
• Incorrect assembly and installation
• The usage of tools for tracker installation only by briefed personal and exclusive
for assembly operations due to installation instructions for SafeTrack Horizon of
Ideematec Deutschland GmbH allowed
• Failure to properly handle Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (“ESD”) as directed
• Faulty storage of the components on sit
The storage area should be prepared properly. The area should be flat compacted
ground with additional top layer of gravel. The gravel will minimize the dust and mud
and will prevent water from accumulating.
Materials stored at site, depending on the individual characteristics, shall be protected
properly to avoid deterioration:
• Motorized gearboxes, control units and electronic components must be stored
in dry, dust-free and temperature-controlled rooms as per datasheet.
• All parts that are packed in boxes, such as: fasteners, cables, bearings, etc.
should be stored in dry conditions (protected from rain, flood and mud).
• Long steel parts may be stored outdoors. When storing steel parts with
corrosion protection, ensure that the items are stacked using spacers in
between the parts and are well ventilated and away from direct soil contact.
Moisture between metal sheets or other adjacent parts made of hot-dip coated
flat products can lead to formation of corrosion products.

Use these torque values only if no other values are given in this installation manual!
Ideematec accepts bolt torque tolerances of +-10%. It is not allowed to use high torque
impact wrench which lead to defect the fasteners and as sequence to avoidable
corrosion.

For posts with Power Lock Sprocket, use the parts shown Tighten by hand in this step
below.
Post
Lower Racket
Use the HML-Leveler to align every position (post). They have to be in one axis.
Torque the Lower Racket at the first and last post in optimal position.
Align the top plate in one table to each other to guarantee a straight rotation axis.
Align the first and last Head Plate in one table to the center position of the hole
pattern and torque the first and last one
