We strongly advise the activation of the mechanical stop switch during
any maintenance of or around your Turbine. This will prevent the blades
spinning and voltage to be transferred. Likewise during initial installation
please activate the mechanical brake. The final step in installation of
Turbine, controller, and battery should be release of this mechanical stop
switch.
The mechanical stop switch is pre-wired for your convenience with 10
AWG wire and battery terminal connections. Place the corresponding
wires (Red, Black, Blue) from the mechanical stop switch into the MPPT
input terminals. They should match the same colored wires from your
Turbine. Your Turbine and stop switch share input terminals on the MPPT,
this provides a parallel connection.
Test the connection of your mechanical stop switch at the point of initial
installation. Push the brake “ON”. You should see the Turbine stop
its rotation. Continue to apply this brake during the remainder of your
installation. Should the Turbine continue to spin, check your terminal
connections.
Do not approach the Turbine without activation of this
mechanical stop switch under any circumstance !
• It is strongly advised to test both mechanical stop switch and MPPT
periodically.
• The mechanical stop switch is pre-wired with 10 AWG wire, this should
not be altered.
• The mechanical stop switch should be placed close to your MPPT in a
dry ventilated environment.
• For multiple turbine applications please use one mechanical stop switch
for each wind turbine.
• This mechanical stop switch has been designed specifically for your wind
turbine; it should not be incorporated into other models.
