Tracker TK1024W for DC Actuator - Wireless
The TK1024W device is a tracker for single-axis solar trackers. It has to be installed integral with the panel supports to control the east-west movement in order to maximize the panels’ exposure to solar radiation during the day.
The device is plugged into an Wireless communication network of which it becomes a slave node. This means that it expects to receive commands from a master device (coordinator) that will have the task of managing the network of devices.
Each tracker is equipped with a motor driver that moves the axis, as well as an inclinometer that detects the inclination of the panels with respect to the horizontal plane. Moreover, the inclinometer receives the set point position from the network master and drives the motor to reach and maintain it, returning the operating status and any alarms to the master.
The tracker is equipped with a small keypad featuring three keys and two signalling LEDs. The MAN/AUTO key allows selection between manual or automatic operation.
