5-4 Stop Switch
(Southwest Windpower part number 2-ARAC-101)
MARINE USE:
A Stop Switch is
standard equipment
with the Marine
Breeze.
Fig. 14. Stop Switch Assembly
Southwest Windpower recommends the use of a stop switch to provide a
convenient method for shutting down your Air Breeze. A switch is supplied
with each Marine Breeze as standard equipment and is available for purchase
from Southwest Windpower for the Land Breeze.
Install and wire the switch as shown in
Fig. 13
. A “break then make” switch
must be used. The switch first disconnects the battery and then shorts the
turbine output wires together causing the turbine to stop spinning (in high
winds the blades may spin slowly). Shorting the turbine does not cause any
damage or additional wear on the unit.
The stop switch model offered by Southwest Windpower is sufficient for most
systems, but it should not be used in applications where a code compliant
switch is necessary.

Drill 12 mm (0.4725 in) hole in panel.
3.
The backing jam nut may be adjusted to allow the switch to mount flush with
the panel.
4.
No larger then 8 gauge wire should be connected directly to switch. Short
lengths (inches) of 8 gauge wire may be used as a transition to larger
gauge wire. Eye connectors are recommended.
5.
