5 Preparations for the DEGERtracker assembly
5.1 Notes for preparing the foundation
The foundation must only be prepared by expert personnel.
Documents can be downloaded from www.DEGER.biz in the dealer area.
An empty conduit with pull wire should be provided for routing the cables inside the mast.
When assembling junction boxes or similar, ensure sufficient clearance in the rotating and
slewing range of DEGERtracker and module surface.
5.1.1 Steel Foundation
The Steel Foundation is installed underground. The required ground pressure is at least 150 kN/m². If there
are any uncertainties you must obtain a geological soil report. The assembly instructions "Steel Foundation"
are included in the delivery.
5.1.2 Mast with wall flange
The mast with wall flange has been designed for mounting the DEGERtracker D60H to walls which are
suitable for this purpose. The confirmation of a structural calculation must be available before assembly work
is started.
5.1.3 Concrete foundation
A qualified professional must be commissioned with creating the foundation.
We recommend having the foundation reinforcement approved by a qualified engineer or technician before
concreting.
The necessary bearing capacity of the subsoil is 200 kN/m². This value must be checked for correctness and
documented by the site manager in charge. A substratum expert is to be called in if there is any uncertainty.
In regions and with soils at risk of frost, further measures must be taken to ensure frost protection, e.g. frost-
proof sub-base or lean-mixed concrete fill down to the frost line.
A formwork and reinforcement diagram for the particular foundation, as shown below, can be obtained for
each DEGERtracker on request – you must observe the instructions given in the diagrams! This diagram will
be sent with the order confirmation. The diagram shown is only intended as a sample drawing.
