AMPAIR PACIFIC 100 SAFETY
Read before assembling or using
Note.
Do not assemble the generator, vane and turbine
until the electrical installation is complete.
ASSEMBLY
Fit the tail vane first.
If you fit the wind turbine first, the machine will turn out
of control & be a danger to approach.
MOUNTING
Very careful attention must be given to the strength and
integrity of the mounting.
This should be capable of withstanding a peak horizontal
load of 120kg (250lbs).
Note.
The mounting pole should be vertical. The space
between the blade tips and the mounting pole must be left
clear. i.e. no clamps or other items should diminish this
clearance. The pole base should have a rigid mounting.
(The mounting should not rest on a resonant surface such
as the centre of a cabin roof since this may transmit any
vibration making the machine audible inside).
ELECTRICAL
It is important to fit a fuse.
The fuse should be next to
the battery terminal since, in the event of a fault or
damage to the cable. the battery will supply the fault
current.
CORRECT POLARITY
When wiring the system be aware that if the Pacific is
connected to the wrong battery terminals, giving
REVERSE POLARITY the output rectifiers may be
destroyed or the internal soldered connections to the brush
holders may melt.
Check and double-check polarity before final connection.
CABLE COLOURS
BROWN = (+) Positive. BLUE =(-) Negative.
CHARGE CONNECTION POINT
The Pacific Output must go straight to the batteries.
If
the Pacific is connected on the DOWNSTREAM (loads
side) of the battery isolator switch. it leaves scope for
damage to electrical equipment.
Under these conditions it is possible to run the Pacific
whilst the battery is isolated. This can subject the system
to excess voltage. Take care when disconnecting the
Generator in a high wind as the terminal voltage is enough
to give a mild electric shock.
