1. SAFETY
Your wind turbine is designed with your safety as the priority. However,
there are still some inherent dangers involved with any electrical and/or
mechanical equipment. Safety must be the primary concern as you plan the
location, installation, and operation of the turbine.
Please carefully read the following:
Important Safety Instructions
Carefully go through this manual before initiating the Wind turbine
installation.
(1) Keep this instruction manual safely for future reference.
(2) Wait for a sunny day to install or for maintenance work on your wind
turbine with the activation of the Manual stop switch.
(3)Listen to your wind turbine if you hear any mechanical noise,
maintenance may be required, please contact the Products Customer
Service.
(4) After installation, double-check all the screws and bolts to make sure they
are tightened.
(5) Adhere to proper grounding techniques as established by the National
Electrical Code (NEC).
(6) Your wind turbine must be installed as per this user manual and the local
and national building code of your region. Incorrect installation may void
your warranty.
(7) Wind turbine blades spin at a potentially dangerous speed, this must be
respected. Never approach near to the turbine when it is in motion.
(8) Note wire size (gauge chart included) before wiring. Any under-sizing of
wire can be potentially dangerous.

1.1 Mechanical Hazard
Rotating blades present the most serious mechanical hazard. The rotor
blades are made of very strong thermoplastic and the blades may reach
velocities over 15 m/s. At this speed, the tip of the blades are nearly invisible
and can cause serious injury. Under no circumstances the turbine should be
installed in locations where a person could come in contact with its moving
rotor blades.
1.2 Electrical Hazard
The wind turbine is equipped with sophisticated electronics designed to
protect from electrical dangers. Please note that the inherent personal
dangers from electrical current still exist, therefore caution should always
be taken while connecting this and other electrical devices. Heat in a wiring
system is often a result of excessive current owing through an undersized
wire or a weak/damaged connection. Please consult the wire guide table
below.
Batteries can deliver a dangerous amount of current. If any short circuit
occurs in the wiring from the batteries, can result in a re break-out. To avoid
this threat, a properly sized fuse or circuit breaker is required in the lines
connecting to the battery.
Choosing your wind turbine’s location
Before the installation of your wind turbine, you must carefully consider a
location. Things to consider when selecting your wind turbine location.
(A) Hight and Distance from obstacles like buildings, trees:
• Install the wind turbine in open and windy sites so, the turbine will be
exposed to winds properly and the benet can be maximized. A distance
of 7-10m should be maintained.
• The minimum recommended tower height is 22 ft (7 m) to 33 ft (10 m).
The wind speed below 22 ft (7 m) constrained by the terrain is low and
chaotic.

B) Distance from human habitat.
• Install your turbine with some distance from the human activity areas as
not to disturb your neighbors and animals around. The noise and
vibration element cannot be got rid of even if this wind turbine offers
the lowest noise than any others on the market. The better location of
your Turbine requires avoiding personnel or animal activities within a
33 ft (10 m) radius, and human habitation and wildlife within a 66 ft (20 m)
radius.
•The rooftop may not be the best place for your Turbine. Here are three
reasons.
a. The ow is more turbulent above the rooftop and leads to low wind
power availability.
b. The stress the pole kit sustains varies in rooftop constructions.
Evaluation and stability cannot be guaranteed.
c. The slight noise and vibration still aect sleep for some sensitive
people and animals.
C) Distance from MPPT controller and battery bank.
D) Any local zoning restrictions.
E) Clearance of power lines or any overhead connection.

(50 m/s) when the Manual stop switch is turned on. Exceeding this will
result in wind turbine failure and collapse.
2.2 Performance
The following power curve shows the performance you should expect from
your wind turbine. During smooth, steady wind speed, you can expect to see
output resembling the curve as illustrated below. To convert between power
and current use the following formula:

2.3 Wiring Requirements
24 / 48 Volt System, AWG / Metric Wire Size mm
Caution 1: Any usage of under-sized wire can be potentially dangerous; our
warranty does not cover damages caused by using an incorrect wire gauge.
The distance from the MPPT to your turbine should not exceed more than 40
meters for safety reasons (Be sure to include the height of the turbine).
Caution 2: Please review the above wire gauge table to install the correct
wires. We recommend these as the minimum wire sizes for the distance from
the MPPT to your turbine for optimal performance. Always use the largest
gauge wires that are practical and affordable. Local, state, and/or national
electrical codes take precedence over these general recommendations.
The distance between the MPPT and the battery pack should be kept as low
as possible and shouldn’t be more than 3 m and the wire gauge used should
be 6 AWG or at-least 8 AWG.

1. Under normal situations, the green V LED should be lit once connected to a
battery.
2. When the SET button is pressed, the green “V “ and ” I “ LED’s will be lit alter
nately, the voltage, current, and total accumulated wattage (kWh) measure
ments will be shown on the LED screen.

10
3. If the green V and I LED’s flash at the same time, it means that your
system is in its protection (brake) mode. To evaluate the problem,
further press the SET button, and the LED display will show a set code
PR1~PR7. Refer to the description listed above to know what each
code stands for.
System protection: Your MPPT charge controller, equipped with sensors
inside the unit, comes with four main protection functions.
Self-protection: The MPPT charge controller has a temperature sensor. The
temperature of the internal circuitry is moderated by an internal fan that is
activated at 45°C (110°F). When the temperature exceeds 65°C (150°F), the
MPPT will apply both the fan and braking system to prevent damage.
Protection for Battery: The MPPT charge controller can sense the voltage of
the battery and the current output/input to the battery. If the parameter of
voltage and current is wrong, then the braking system will be turned on.
Protection for Wind Turbine: The MPPT charge controller can sense the
rotation speed of the wind turbine. If the rotation speed is over the setting
value in the program, the braking system will be turned on. The latest
version of the MPPT charger controller has also equipped the phase detector
technology. If the AC output warefrom generator is incorrect, that means the
generator may be damaged. At that moment, the MPPT will apply the braking
system and the LED lamp to warn users.
Protection for No Battery Connection: When the MPPT charge controller
shuts down due to the abnormal battery and improper connection; it will
cause free-spin issues. At 150 RPM and above, the MPPT charge controller
should apply the braking system automatically and the power from the
wind turbine should be cut off at once. The wind turbine will turn on and
brake repeatedly. Under safety conditions, please check the battery wire and
function as soon as possible.

3.2 Manual Stop Switch
The MPPT controller has an integrated battery controlled braking mechanism.
Further to this protection, we have incorporated a secondary level of safety
and convenience with a Manual 3-phase AC brake. Users can apply the manual
brake using our Windmill Pro app, for more details check the Installation
section. During periods of high winds (upwards of 35 mph / 16 m/s) it is
strongly advised to utilize App brake and Manual stop switch. The App brake
derives power from the battery for the brake, so in case of low battery the
brake may release. The use of a Manual stop switch will not aect the voltage
of your battery and is independent of the battery.

12
We strongly advise the activation of the Manual stop switch during any
maintenance of or around your Turbine. This will prevent the blades from
spinning and voltage to be transferred. Likewise, during initial installation
please activate the Manual brake. In the final step in the installation of the
Turbine, manual stop switch should be released.
The Manual stop switch is pre-wired for your convenience, place the
corresponding wires (Red, Black, Blue) from the Manual stop switch into
the MPPT input terminals. They should be connected corresponding to the
color code from your Turbine. Turbine and manual stop switch share input
terminals on the MPPT, this provides a parallel connection.
Test the connection of your Manual stop switch at the point of initial
installation. Push the brake “ON”. You should see the Turbine stop its rotation.
Continue to apply this brake during the remainder of your installation.
Should the Turbine continue to spin, check your terminal connections? Do
not approach the Turbine without activation of this Manual stop switch
under any circumstance!
• It is strongly advised to test both the manual stop switch and MPPT prio-
dically.
• The Manual stop switch is pre-wired, this should not be altered.
• The manual stop switch should be placed close to your MPPT in a dry venti-
lated environment.
• For multiple turbine applications please use an individual Manual stop swi-
tch and MPPT controller for each wind turbine.
• This manual stop switch has been designed specically for your wind tur-
bine; it should not be incorporated into other models.
