12. Setting Up The Onboard Computer

 

 

 

A proper Set

-

Up of the SkyWind´s computer is vital to a  safe and reliable operation of 

your wind turbine. 

 

 

Carefully  follow  the  instructions  on  the  next  page  to  make  sure  your  turbine  is  set

-

up 

properly. In case of any doubt contact your SkyWind representative. 

 

 

Document all settings of your storm control system and of your inverter by taking pic-
tures. Without photographic documentation your warranty is void. 

 

10. DC Installation Of The Inverter

 

 

Connect the inverter to the turbine using the far right red + and black 

-

 connectors la-

beled with 

DC INPUT

“ 

(yellow marking). Make sure that the polarity is correct!

 

 

Mount the dumpload close to the inverter, but not below it. In case of too much power 
the resistor might become very hot. Do not mount it onto flammable surfaces and use 
the mounts delivered with your turbine. 

 

 

Connect the dumpload to the connectors labeled 

DUMPLOAD

“ 

(green marking).

11. AC Installation Of The Inverter

 

 

 

Connect the inverter to the AC grid using the 

AC OUTPUT

“ 

connector, according to y-

our national standards. 

 

 

Immediatly after connecting the inverter to the AC grid the LCD display should light up. 

 

 

The inverter must be installed in a suitable place without fluid or condensating water or 
extreme temperatures.
