PWP Wind Control Panel Manual 2 -ARAC-103
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. Allow adequate space behind the panel so that the components will
not touch any surfaces, wires or other items. In the back of this manual you will find a 1:1 cutout
template to assist in installation. Identify your optimum mounting location keeping in mind that
adequate room will be needed for the large wire sizes (#10 - #8) to be terminated on the terminal
block (TB-3). Using the template, cut the large opening and drill the six mounting holes.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION:
1) Wind Turbine:
Connect the wires of the wind turbine (TB-3),
Negative (Black) to Terminal 2 and Positive (Red) to Terminal 1 of the
Control Panel using the appropriate wire size and crimps. The Green
(Ground) wire of the wind turbine should not be connected to the
boat grounding system but instead should be connected to the
Negative wire (Black) of the wind turbine prior to connecting to the
Control Panel Terminal 2. If the ground wire is directly connected to
the negative vessel buss or ground system, the wind turbine may not
operate properly.
Warning
ABYC STANDARDS AND PRACTICES
should be followed
during the installation along with recommendations made in the Air
manual. This manual is made available to assist during installation and
start up and is not intended to supersede the ABYC Standards or the
other requirements and recommendations.
