Land Based Systems
The Rutland 913 is suitable for some land based
temporary and leisure applications.
We recommend the Furlmatic model
windchargers for land based remote and
exposed locations.
The Rutland 913 is designed to fit inside
aluminium, stainless or steel tube with an
internal diameter of 41mm. (1
⅝
”).
IMPORTANT:
The external diameter
MUST
NOT
exceed 48.5mm (1
⅞
), see Warning in
Introduction.
A suitable mounting pole can be erected using a
6.5 metre (21 feet) galvanised (medium) tube.
The tube must be supported by a minimum of
four guy lines. The attachment points for the
guy lines to the tower should be securely fixed
to the tower.
•
The guy wires should be a minimum of 4mm
(0.16”) in diameter.
•
The shackles should be a minimum of 5mm
(0.20”) in diameter.
•
Rigging screws should be a minimum of
5mm (0.20”) in diameter.
•
All items should be galvanised or stainless
steel for protection against corrosion.
•
Where guy lines are looped, the loop must
incorporate a thimble and be fitted with a
minimum of three rope grips.
•
All ground fixings must be made suitable
according to the terrain.
We suggest pivot type towers as these allow for
easier installation and lowering for access to the
wind generator. Two forms of pivot tower are
suggested in Figs 6 & 7.
A base-hinged 6.4m tall Land Tower Kit (Part
No:CA-12/08) and Rigging Kit
(Part No:CA-12/07) are available from Marlec.
