OVERVIEW:
The POWER switch is used to turn the wind turbine control panel on and off as well as provide
protection in the case of a major fault. The STOP-RUN toggle switch controls the operation of the
wind turbine. In the RUN position, it allows the wind turbine to operate and produce power while
in the STOP position it places an electric brake on the wind turbine spindle stopping the rotation (in
this mode, slight blade rotation may occur in strong winds). The center position is an OFF position
(disconnecting the wind turbine), but is not recommended. The Ammeter monitors the wind
turbines production.
The wind control panel should be connected to a wind turbine with a current rating equal to or less
than the panel's rating. The Air Breeze and Air 40 units have built-in battery charge regulators. If a
wind turbine is utilized that does not have a built-in regulator, an external diversion load controller
will be necessary to provide proper protection from over charging the battery bank.
Disconnect battery(s) prior to making connections. Secure the rotor blades of the wind turbine
mechanically so that it is unable to rotate.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION: Locate a suitable mounting area for the Wind Control Panel, preferably close to the battery bank and maintaining the ability to view the meter and operate the controls. Panel Mount: The panel should be mounted in a clean and dry environment. Be sure the mounting location is mechanically sound. -

Caution Interconnect wire sizing (wind turbine/input and battery bank/output), of the control panel is critical to proper operation of the wind turbine. Consult a Wire Sizing Table to confirm the minimum appropriate wire size for a voltage drop of less than 3%. A wiring sizing table is available at www.primuswindpower.com under Wire &... - Page 4 START UP: Remove the mechanical tie off of the wind turbine. Turn the POWER switch to the ON position and the RUN-STOP switch to the RUN position. If there is sufficient wind present, the wind turbine should begin turning and current should be displayed by the Ammeter. However, if the battery bank is fully charged, the wind turbine will not rotate.
