located to the north of the solar tracker, the north/south linear actuator will extend so it positions the solar
panels perpendicular to the sun’s light rays. To connect the north/south linear actuator to the Electronics Box
simply remove the plastic cover on the bottom of the linear actuator by removing the four screws. Next,
follow the wiring instructions in Figure 4 below for wiring the Electronics Box to the north/south linear
actuator. Make sure that you use the appropriate length of wire to cover the full range of motion of the solar
tracker (Extra wire is included in this kit.).

.Note: If you wish for the north/south linear actuator to retract when the sun is to the north of the solar
tracker, then you can simply switch the green and blue wires that will be connected to the north/south linear
actuator.
3.2.3 East/West Linear Actuator Installation
The east/west linear actuator has a stroke length of 24 inches. It is wired to the SunTura Tracking Electronics
in the following manner: If the sun is located to the west of the solar tracker, the east/west linear actuator will
extend so it positions the solar panels perpendicular to the sun’s light rays. To connect the east/west linear
actuator to the Electronics Box simply remove the plastic cover on the bottom of the linear actuator by
removing the four screws. Next, follow the wiring instructions in Figure 5 below for wiring the Electronics Box
to the east/west linear actuator. Make sure that you use the appropriate length of wire to cover the full range
of motion of the solar tracker (Extra wire is included in this kit.).
