Installation Manual

Before the final tightening of the blade screws, make sure that the distance between

the blade tips is exactly the same, in order to avoid vibrations. Move each

rotorblade in running direction towards the edge of the blade guide of the hub.

The running direction is clockwise looking from the front. Then fix the blades as

described above.

The blades should not be out of balance then. The blades have been balanced

statically and dynamically. In case of damage of only one blade you can buy a single

one. When ordering one blade, be sure to inform RULIS Electrica, Lda. on the exact

weight of the undamaged blades.

An incorrect tightening torque represents a significant security risk.

Regularly control the fixation of the blades!

After attaching the blades to the hub, the set is fixed to the generator shaft with the

enclosed screw nut (use the enclosed hexagon socket screw key). After that, snap

the nose cone into place on the assembly hub. (see page 17, sketch 5,6 and 7)

Then you must connect the three AC outlet cables which have to be led from the

SILENTWIND to the charge controller.

Attention During this procedure the 3 AC wires of the extention cable at the end

must be connected together. Otherwise the rotor system may start

running and you can get injured.

Finally you mount the SILENTWIND on the mast. Fix the 4 hexagon screws to the

yaw clamp after inserting the rubber pad (see page 18, sketch 8)

When tightening the screws take care for a uniform, circumferential tightening of the

4 screws. The tightening should be made with small increments in order to avoid

damaging the marine grade painting.

8. Getting started

Before getting your SILENTWIND started check the correct mounting and installation

according to the following check list:

Test

Mast construction:

Optional;

check according to instruction, especially all screw connections, bracing, vertical

position. Grounding and lightning protection according to local regulations?

Electric installation:

Check battery status and correct polarity

Charge controller:

Charge controller securely fastened to the mounting location?

battery connected with correct polarity, otherwise controller will be destroyed

Caution: Connect always first the battery to the charge controller.

Are all screw terminals firmly tightened?

Is stop switch in position “O”?

Fuse:

Fuse connected as close as possible to the battery?
