Caution
Wire size of the interconnect to both input (wind generator) and output (battery bank) of the control panel
is critical to the proper operation of the wind generator. Please consult a Wire Sizing Table (Primus AIR
Manual) to be sure you have the minimum wire size so that the voltage drop is less than 3%.
1) Battery Connections: Be sure battery feed wires are not
connected to the battery at this time. Connect the battery
feed wires to terminals marked Battery with Negative to -4 and
Positive to 3+ of the control panel using the appropriate wire
size (see Figure 2) .
Warning
It is strongly recommended to recheck the tightness of the screws
on the terminal block where the connections are made. Initially,
tight screw connections will loosen as the wire compresses and
therefore going back to recheck the tightness of the screws after a
period of time will help assure a good connection.
2) Mounting: Mechanically install the panel into the enclosure base
using all 4 cover screws.
3) Battery Connection: Verify the Circuit Breaker on the Control
Panel is in the “OFF” position. Set the RUN–STOP switch in the
“STOP” position. Connect the battery feed wires from the Control
Panel to the battery bank terminals. Make sure all connections are
tight and the wires are of proper size and are mechanically secured.
Warning
Please be sure polarity (negative/positive) is correct, if not it will damage the control panel and the wind
turbine voiding warrantee.
START UP:
Remove the mechanical tie off of the wind turbine so that it can spin freely. It should rotate at this point (if wind
present) but have some resistance (Run-Stop switch is in the “STOP” position).
Turn Circuit Breaker to the “ON” position. The digital meter should illuminate and indicate battery system
voltage. No current or wattage would be displayed at this time. If there is an energy value displayed, reset to zero
by following procedure in section marked “Energy Display/Reset” Switch the RUN-STOP switch to the “RUN”
position. The wind turbine should begin turning and current should be displayed provided the battery bank is at
85% or less – not in regulation (please refer to Primus manual for battery regulation set points).
