WIRE CONNECTIONS TO AIR WIND TURBINE
WARNING:
Do not connect wires to batteries until all electrical
connections are completed.
Secure connections using "split bolt" or solder connectors. Use color coded
wires - red for battery positive, black for battery negative, and green for
earth ground. Size wiring based on wiring tables provided. Insulate connec-
tions with heat shrink tubing or good quality electrical tape. Leave suffi-
cient service loop in the wires to accommodate removal of the turbine
from the tower.
FINAL CONNECTIONS
Follow system wiring diagram and run wires to disconnect switch, fuse or
circuit breaker and ammeter.
Before making battery connections, make sure circuit breakers and stop
switch (highly recommended) are in the OFF position. Attach wires to
battery; red to positive battery terminal and black to negative battery
terminal.
WARNING:
Reversed wire connections will damage the AIR wind
turbine's electronics. The polarity of the AIR wind turbine's wires may be
checked by connecting a voltmeter to the wires and spinning the rotor
by hand.
Complete battery connections and switch ON circuit breakers and stop
switch. When power is switched on, the turbine LED will illuminate for two
seconds, go off for two seconds and illuminate for four seconds. This indi-
cates the internal
controller is functioning. The LED remains illuminated if the turbine is
charging the battery.
The installation is now complete.
