Wind Control Panel Instruction Manual

(for use with AIR Breeze and AIR 40 12V turbines)

The wind control panel is fully calibrated and ready for installation. Please

follow the instructions below for proper installation.

P/N VOLTAGE CURRENT

2-ARAC-103 12 VDC 25A

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.

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.

START UP: Remove the mechanical tie off of the wind turbine. Turn the POWER switch to the ON position and the RUN-STOP switch to the RUN position. If there is sufficient wind present, the wind turbine should begin turning and current should be displayed by the Ammeter. However, if the battery bank is fully charged, the wind turbine will not rotate. Please see the wind turbine instruction manual for more information.
