Introduction 1 1 Introduction Chapter 1 describes the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine.
Introduction 2 Product Description The HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine is a novel electric generator (Worldwide patents pending). It consists, as shown in the product detailed schematic, of a central wheel made of aluminum rim, stainless steel spokes, and aluminum hub. Two ceramic bearings are used to attach this wheel to the center shaft of the turbine. Customshaped glass-filled nylon blades are attached to the spokes of this wheel.
Introduction 3 Before Installing the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine: IMPORTANT Please take note that the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine is a proprietary wind driven electric generator. It is designed to displace annual electric consumption by connecting it to the electric switch board in the proper procedures described in this Owner’s Manual. It may also be used on a stand-alone installation where connecting to a local electric grid is not possible.

Turbine Installation 6 Turbine Mounting Introduction Hazardous voltages, currents, or other conditions that could cause serious bodily injury or death exist in this equipment or may be associated with its use. Personal Injury and Property Damage Hazard STOP! If you plan to connect the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine to any controller other than the SMARTBOX™ Controller, immediately cease the installation of the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine.
Turbine Installation 7 Personal Injury and Property Damage Hazard Do not touch revolving turbine blades or insert objects, including sticks and screwdrivers, into revolving turbine blades. Failure to follow this warning may result in death, personal injury or property damage.
Turbine Installation 8 Turbine with Electrical Systems HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine mounted on ROOFBOX™ Mount Typical SMARTBOX™ Controller connection next to house circuit breakers. Figure 2.1 Complete Turbine System Site Selection The key objective of a site evaluation or study is to place the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine so energy generated from the wind is maximized while meeting the local zoning requirements. Key elements to focused on during the site evaluation include: 1. High average wind speeds.
Turbine Installation 9 comparative data for a region or a specific location. However, be very careful when relying only on this information as such data quite often tends to be measured at very high altitudes and may not be useful at lower and more practical heights. 2. As a general rule it is best to install the turbine at the highest permissible position and far removed in proximity to trees and other adjacent buildings or structures. 3.
Turbine Installation 10 Mounting Options Personal Injury and Property Damage Hazard Do not install the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine in a location that is accessible to children or pets. Failure to follow this warning may result in death, personal injury or property damage. Personal Injury and Property Damage Hazard The HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine must be mounted by licensed and trained personnel only, with the use of all appropriate hardware.
Turbine Installation 11 Figure 2.3 Mounting Options Failure to follow proper installation practices for any of the mounting options could result in death, personal injury and/ or property damage. The vertical axis of the turbine must be level when installed. Turbines installed with their vertical axis off-level will see significant impact on performance. Pole Mount IMPORTANT: The ROOFBOX™ QUADPOD™ system is designed for pitched or flat roof tops.
Turbine Installation 12 following designs and their included specifications. See page 34 in the Appendix for design and specifications. Ballast Mount See page 35 in the Appendix for design and specifications. Turbine Wiring ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD Disconnect turbine and battery circuits before wiring. Turn off all power before wiring. Failure to follow safety warning could result in serious injury and/or death.

Turbine Installation 14 The SMARTBOX™ Controller The SMARTBOX™ Controller contains all the electronic controls needed to integrate to the home’s electrical switch board circuits. The SMARTBOX™ Controller is housed in a NEMA 3R enclosure and must be mounted on the wall next to the home’s electrical switch board. The SMARTBOX™ has an LCD display and four operational buttons. Details of the function of these buttons is listed in the SMARTBOX™ Controller Manual.
Turbine Installation 15 The Battery Box The Battery Box is a NEMA 3R type and must be mounted on the wall near the SMARTBOX™ Controller. The Battery Box requires its own On/Off switch and a 100 amp fuse. Please refer to the SMARTBOX™ Controller Manual for connecting the Battery Box to the SMARTBOX™ Controller and also for maintenance and service. IMPORTANT: Please read the SMARTBOX™ Controller Manual TIP: Always consult and use a certified and trained electrician for connections and service. Figure 2.
Turbine Installation 16 The Junction Box The HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine is an electric generator. As discussed in the technology description the electricity is generated at the stators due to the high speed traversing of the permanent magnets at the blade tip and wheel rim. The electrical output of each stator is bused to the Junction Box that is mechanically attached to the mount section nearest the turbine.
