1. TOWER LOCATION/TYPE AND
HEIGHT. INSTALL TOWER
(Install tower following manufacturer’s instructions.)
Tower height minimum is 7 meters (20 feet) above trees or
obstacles within 100m (300ft). The lateral thrust rating at
top must match wind generator model. The highest point
on your property is generally best, but wind generator dis-
tance to battery and the battery voltage determine the cor-
rect wire size (Refer to wire size table pg. 5). A self sup-
porting tower occupies less ground area than a guyed tower
but is more expensive. A fold over design permits easy in-
stallation and maintenance on the ground and eliminates
the need for climbing.
Whisper Models H80 are suitable for roof or side-of-
building mounting on
unoccupied
buildings such as ga-
rage or barn. Some vibration transmission will be notice-
able from mounts to structure. Foundations must be de-
signed and approved for local wind/soil conditions.
