The AWS Wind Turbine has been designed with your safety in mind. However,
there are inherent dangers involved with any electrical and/or mechanical
equipment.
Safety must be your primary concern as you plan the location,
installation and operation of the turbine. At all times be aware of electrical,
mechanical and rotor blade hazards.
1.1 MECHANICAL HAZARD
Rotating blades present the most serious hazard. The rotor blades are made of very
strong thermoplastic. At the tip, the blades may be moving at velocities over 275 miles
per hour (440 km/hr). At this speed, the tip of a blade is nearly invisible and can cause
serious injury. Under no circumstances should you install the turbine where a person
could come in contact with moving rotor blades. DO NOT INSTALL THE TURBINE
WHERE ANYONE CAN APPROACH THE PATH OF THE BLADES.
1.2 ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
*Observe all manufacturers' safety procedures when working around batteries and
other electrical equipment.
The
AWS
Wind Turbine is equipped with sophisticated electronics designed to provide
protection from high surge electrical dangers. The internal electronics of the
AWS
Wind
Turbine prevents open circuit voltages from rising above 20 volts for 12-volt systems. Please
note that the inherent personal dangers from electrical
current still exist, therefore caution
should always be used when connecting this
and other electrical devices.
Heat in wiring systems is often a result of too much current flowing through an
undersized wire or through a bad connection.
Batteries can deliver a dangerous amount of current. If a short occurs in the wiring
from the batteries, a fire can result. In order to avoid this threat, a properly sized fuse
or circuit breaker is required in the lines connecting to the battery.
1.3 INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS:
Installation procedures should be performed at ground level.
Make sure that all batteries are disconnected throughout the installation process.
Never install the AWS Wind Turbine upside down.
Choose a day when the wind is calm.
1. PRECAUTIONS
Connect the 2 wires coming from the Wind Turbine to the control switch panel.
Then, connect control panel output wires to the battery bank.
From Wind turbine and swtich panel has two wires(Black = Negative (-)
Red = positive (+)) ensuring they do not made a mistake.
