Friends: I will ratify what Jay says below. Unfortunately, in my experience the controllers are a bit too fragile and I have needed tech support too often. I suspect your controller is failing. Wattsun will likely fix it for free, you just have to provide the removal, shipping and reinstallation.

It is a 24VDC model, run of a battery bank that is charged through an outback inverters connection to the grid. So the battery voltage is always at 24V. The tracker will run fine for a couple days then it will get stuck in the east facing direction. I can make it track by switching the control box to "Manual Control Mode" and then moving the array in any direction for a second or two and then switching it back to "Automatic Control Mode". It will then track for a couple days and get stuck in the east direction again. > > Everything is greased regularly, and the voltage at the motors is always where it needs to be. I haven't noticed anything binding the tracker in the east direction and it seems like to sensor is fine because it tracks after I use the steps I described above to move it. > > Any thoughts? > > Thanks as always, > > Jesse > _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
