INSTALLATION AND SETUP
23
Important:
It is important to consider the following points before/during the setup of a 2AP.
•
Verify that the Power and Communication cabling is routed properly to prevent cables from
catching on any fasteners or supports.
•
Ensure that the surface on which the Suntracker will be mounted is reasonably level, but
above all it is very important to create a very firm base for the feet of the Tripod to sit upon.
•
Make sure that the site will be free from any obstructions within the operating circle and
above the horizontal mounting plane.
•
Make sure that the 2AP and accessories will be accessible for maintenance purposes.
•
Make sure that the 2AP is located in such a way that shadows will not be cast onto the
radiometers at any time.
•
Ensure that before operation of the 2AP the Sun Sensor cable and other mounted
instrument cabling will not catch on any fasteners or supports.
•
Avoid any possible cable binding or snagging on parts of the 2AP, supports or other
instrumentation.
