ELECTRICAL CONNECTION & FITTING TO THE TOWER
1.
Run the cable selected (see Table 1) down the inside of the pole.
2.
Select one of the 2 basic wiring systems on page 12 and follow the manual
provided with the voltage controller.
3.
Fit the in-line fuse and fuse holder in the circuit where the HRS type or no
regulator is used.
It is essential that a charge fuse is fitted but note that some
Marlec controllers incorporate one negating the need for a separate fuse.
Cut
the fuse holder cable and strip back the ends to allow connection in the circuit.
4.
Connect the wind generator flying leads to the cable protruding from the tower
using the connector block supplied, taking care to observe polarity. Connect
the windc to cable + and windcharger – to cable –
Red is + Positive
Black is - Negative
5.
Wrap the connection with insulation tape to secure/protect from environment.
Alternatively join the cables using a latching-type plug and socket.
6.
Locate the wind generator into the tower whilst gently easing the cable from
the tower base to ensure the cable is not trapped. Secure the wind generator to
the tower using the button cap screws and shake proof washers provided,
tighten using the 6mm Allen key provided.
FINAL MECHANICAL CHECK
1. Check the tightness of the blade fixing screws and generator mounting screws.
2. Check free rotation of the hub and yaw axis.
