Air 30 12v Installation

26 AIR Owner’s Manual

Stop Switch (Switch Kit part number 2-ARAC-101)

Fig. 13. Stop Switch Assembly

Primus Wind Power recommends the use of a stop switch to provide a

convenient and safe method for shutting down your AIR turbine.

A stop switch is supplied with the AIR Breeze and is available from Primus

Wind Power for the other AIR turbines.

Fig. 12 shows proper installation:

• The turbine operates in battery charging mode with the switch in the UP

position

• With the switch in the DOWN position the turbine blades will stop

(or spin slowly in a strong wind), but the turbine will not charge the

batteries

1. Drill a 12 mm (0.47 inch) hole to mount the switch.

2. Screw the jam nut fully onto the switch. Item 3 in Fig. 13.

3. Place the switch in the panel and secure from the back of the panel with

the rubber sleeved nut or the knurled nut.

4. Use mounting nuts to adjust the height of the switch in the panel.

5. Use no larger than 8 AWG wire. If a larger gauge wire is required use a

few inches of 8 AWG wire to transition to the switch. Use ring terminals at

the switch connections.

6. Support the wires to prevent shorts and provide strain relief for the wire

connections.

switch in the middle posi-

condition – not stopped

batteries.
