when shorted. Always use insulated electrical tools when working on the battery’s electrical
connections.
Batteries are very heavy. Do not attempt to move batteries by yourself. Always use manual
handling tools and an assistant. Always keep lead-acid batteries the correct way up. Do not allow
the acidic electrolyte to spill or come into contact with
your skin. Always follow the manufacturer’s
safety instructions when handling lead-acid batteries. Ensure that the Universal Run / Stop switch is
correctly wired as per these instructions and wiring schematics. Incorrect wiring may lead to a short
circuit being placed across the batteries which can lead to fire or explosion.
Please use common sense when installing and operating your turbine and associated equipment.
Installation
The run/stop switch works by disconnecting the turbine from the batteries and then shorting the
turbine output, causing an electrical brake and slowing the turbine. It has a number of cable entry
“knock outs” that can be used with cable entry glands as necessary.
The switch has been
fitted with a “shorting link” between terminals
3 & 7 inside the switch.
In the RUN position, the switch output is on poles 1 & 5.
In the STOP position, the switch output is on poles 3 & 7.
