6-3 Final Connections
Before making final connections to the batteries, make sure circuit break-
ers and stop switch are in the OFF position. Attach wires to battery; red to
positive battery terminal and black to negative battery terminal.
Complete battery connections and switch on circuit breakers and stop
switch. When power is first switched on, the wind turbine LED will come
on for two seconds, go off for two second and come on for four seconds.
This indicates the internal controller is functioning properly. If there is avail-
able wind and you AIR wind turbine starts charging the batteries, the LED
remains illuminated.
The installation is now complete.
WARNING:
If the battery connections are reversed, AIR 30’s electronics will
be damaged. The polarity of AIR 30’s wires may be checked by connecting a
voltmeter to the wires and spinning the rotor by hand.
Follow system wiring diagram and run wires to disconnect switch, fuse or
circuit breaker and ammeter. If a stop switch is utilized (highly recommended)
turn switch to OFF until all connections are completed.
6-2 Mounting on Tower
After wires are connected to the AIR wind turbine, route the wires down
the tower and slide the turbine yaw over tower top. After the yaw is com-
pletely lowered onto tower top, lift the yaw approximately 1/8 inch (3 mm)
to 1/4 inch (6 mm) so that the only contact between the yaw and tower
top is through the rubber isolation pad. This will reduce noise and vibration
transmission to the tower.
Once the yaw is positioned on the tower, secure the yaw clamp screws us-
ing the supplied 5/32 inch hex key wrench. Torque to 48 in – lbs (5.5 N·m).
If blade/hub assembly is not already installed on turbine, it may be installed
now. Position the 5/8-18 nut in the hexagonal detent at the center of the
hub. Coat the shaft threads and blade hub bore with Tef-Gel and “spin” the
hub completely onto the turbine alternator shaft. Fully tighten hub to 40 lb-ft
(55 N·m) by inserting a 5/16 inch hex key wrench in the turbine alternator
shaft and attempting to turn the shaft while holding the blades.
Snap the nosecone into position over the outside edges of the blade hub.
Make sure all three edges of the nosecone snap over the edge of the blade
hub. After installation tug on the nosecone to make sure it is securely at-
tached.
IMPORTANT:
Tef-Gel is a corrosion inhibitor.
