solar track controller

Tracker :
 Tracker Principle:controls azimuth angle according to astronomical sun positioning
 Tracking axis:single axis
 Size:170mm x 120mm
 Input voltage:12VDC
 Enclosure IP65 ABS grade
 Termination:IP65 graded ABS glands – 2 nos
 Output:12V output to actuator up to 20A load
 Resolution:0.1 degrees
 Axis angle:settable up to +/‐ 60 degrees
 Control action:automatic closed loop using inbuilt inclinometer for angle feedback
 Display:16 x2 LCD display
 Timing:Inbuilt using highly accurate RTC with independent battery backup
 Accuracy:< +/‐1 degrees
 Safety features:a. Reverse polarity protection
  b. Over current protection
  c. Voltage spike suppression
  d. over current drain protection against mechanical failure of the actuator
system *
 ** The unit has an inbuilt time limit for the on time of the actuator fixed at approximately 2.5 minutes.
This is to ensure that if the actuator fails to move the panel to the required target angle for more than
2.5 minutes, the unit turns off the actuator load to preserve battery life and indicates “mech failure” for
3 seconds on the LCD display before skipping to the next target angle.
