OVERVIEW: 

The  POWER  switch  is  used  to  turn the  wind  turbine  control panel  on  and  off  as  well  as  provide 
protection in the case of a major fault.    The STOP-RUN toggle switch controls the operation of the 
wind turbine.  In the RUN position, it allows the wind turbine to operate and produce power while 
in the STOP position it places an electric brake on the wind turbine spindle stopping the rotation (in 
this mode, slight blade rotation may occur in strong winds).   The center position is an OFF position 
(disconnecting the wind  turbine),  but   is  not  recommended.  The Ammeter  monitors  the  wind 
turbines production. 

 

The wind control panel should be connected to a wind turbine with a current rating equal to or less 
than the panel's rating.  The Air Breeze and Air 40 units have built-in battery charge regulators.  If a 
wind turbine is utilized that does not have a built-in regulator, an external diversion load controller 
will be necessary to provide proper protection from over charging the battery bank. 

 

 
 

Warning

 

Disconnect  battery(s)  prior to  making connections.  Secure the rotor blades of  the wind  turbine

 

mechanically so that it is unable to rotate.
