5-4 Stop Switch
(Southwest Windpower part number 2-ARAC-101)
Fig. 14. Stop Switch Assembly
Southwest Windpower recommends the use of a stop switch to provide
a convenient and safe method for shutting down your AIR wind turbine.
A switch is available for purchase from Southwest Windpower for the AIR
wind turbine.
Install the switch as shown in
Fig. 13
. A “break then make” switch
MUST
be used or severe damage may occur. When wired as shown, AIR wind
turbine will operate normally with the switch in the “up” position and will be
“off” in the “down” position. Do not leave switch in “middle” position; this
will place AIR wind turbine in an open circuit condition – see the Operating
Modes section of this manual.
The stop switch model offered by Southwest Windpower is sufficient for most
systems, but it should not be used in applications where a code compliant
switch is necessary.

1.
Use either the rubber sleeved nut or the knurled nut but do not use both.
2.
Drill 12 mm (0.4725 in) hole in panel.
3.
The backing jam nut may be adjusted to allow the switch to mount flush
with the panel.
4.
No larger then 8 gauge wire should be connected directly to switch. Short
lengths (a few inches) of 8 gauge wire may be used as a transition to larger
gauge wire. Eye connectors are recommended.
5.
Wires should be supported. Provide strain relief – the switch terminals are
not designed to support lengths of wire.
