ATYPICAL SITING CONSIDERATIONS
Coastal or Lakeside
Trees and taller structures can be
down-wind.
Ridge Tops
Wind compresses as it blows
over the top of a hill, increasing
the wind speed.
Plateau/Mesa/Structures
Site the generator far enough from
the cli to avoid turbulent wind.
The vercal face of any structure
will cause turbulence and aect
overall performance.

TOWER SELECTION AND INSTALLATION
Tower Selecon
Soil and wind condions vary; towers and tower foundaons must be designed
for your specic locaon.
Wind speed increases with height. Higher towers also raise generators above
the air turbulence that can exist close to the ground.
Calculaons are based on Power Law Exponent 0.02 (in areas of tall row crops,
hedges, a few trees.)
Wind Speed
Prevent tower climbing by unauthor-
ized persons or children. Never climb
without proper safety equipment.
Always stop the blades before climbing the tower.
Both falling from the tower and contact with the
spinning blades can be lethal.
Tower height
THE POWER OF THE WIND: Cube of Wind Speed
The wind speed is extremely important for the
amount of energy a wind turbine can convert to elec-
tricity: The energy content of the wind varies with the
cube (the third power) of the average wind speed,
e.g. if the wind speed is twice as high it contains 2
cubed = 2 x 2 x 2 = eight mes as much energy.
Wind Power Equaon (air density):
WIND POWER = 1/2 x Air Density x Wind Velocity^3 x
Swept Area
NOTE: Contact Primus Wind Power for wind resource
assessment of your site!

SIMPLE TIPS FOR DEEP CYCLE BATTERY BANK SIZINING
In preparaon for baery sizing, know:
ELECTRICAL USAGE - the amount of energy consumed 1 day in Wa-
hours (Wh)
DAYS OF AUTONOMY - days of baery back-up required if unable to
charge the baeries by any means.
DEPTH OF DISCHARGE - limit of energy withdrawal to which you will
subject the deep cycle baery bank.
• Deeper discharge = Shortened baery life.
• Recommended: never discharge a deep cycle baery below 50% of
its capacity
• O-grid applicaons, a 25% DoD will extend baery life signicantly
TEMPERATURE - Standard for most baery rang is 25 ° C /(77 °F).
• Cold temperatures = reduced baery capacity
• High temperatures = shortened baery life
RECOMMENDATION - Keep the number of parallel strings of baeries to
three or fewer (one is preferred and considered best pracce). More than
three strings of baeries, risks shortening baery life due to uneven
charging.
Baeries in Series = Voltage is Addive
Baeries in Parallel = Ah is Addive
*Example: 2 12V 100Ah Baery Bank
Series 24V 100 Ah
Parallel 12V 200 Ah
• A system load of 6,000 Wa-hours per day
• 3 Days of Autonomy (back-up) needed
• Planned Depth of Discharge (DoD): 40%
• Baery bank ambient average low 15.6 °C (60 ° F)
CALCULATIONS: calculate baery bank size, use example below:
STEPS: EXAMPLE:
3 days of Autonomy:
6,000 x 3 = 18,000 Wh

IMPORTANT: Tef-Gel is a corrosion inhibitor and is especially
important in marine applicaons. Tef-Gel should be applied
to all blade bolts and yaw bolts using the applicator and Tef-
Gel provided with your hardware kit. Tef-Gel helps to pre-
vent corrosion and lubricates threads (recommended for both
land and marine usage).

STEP 4: Aach Turbine to Tower
4.) Insert tower into yaw assembly.
5.) Ensure yaw pad is in place.
6.) Apply Tef-Gel w/ applicator provided to yaw bolts prior to assembly.
Tighten screws to secure turbine to tower. It is important that Tef-Gel
is applied to all hardware prior to nal assembly.
7.) Ensure turbine is securely aached to tower.
8.) Ensure wire connecons are secure and double check for inial two
blinks by “powering up” turbine prior to raising the tower. This is especially
important when installed on boats or structures.
1.) Insert yaw pad into yaw pivot point/clamp assembly.
2.) NOT SHOWN: Complete turbine wiring connecons.
3.) Aer assembling the yaw clamp, insert yaw/wires into the tower, li
the yaw clamp assembly 1/8” to secure the yaw onto yaw pad to prevent
metal to metal contact and reduce vibraon down-tower. This is espe-
cially important when mounted on boat or structures.
IMPORTANT: Apply Tef-Gel to yaw bolts prior to assembly.
Observe torque specs during assembly.
WARNING: The yaw pad is crical to ensuring proper and secure
turbine mounng to the tower; however, in some instances it
makes it dicult to tell if the tower is properly inserted into the
yaw assembly. Check this carefully before raising the tower.
IMPORTANT: Further inspecon of the blade bolts, yaw bolts and
rotor nut are recommended and re-ghtened within 30 days aer
inial installaon.

mend purchasing the roof mount kit with seal. See Fig. 7.
Fig. 7. Roof Mounng Kit
TOWER LEVELING
When installing a tower it is important that both the tower and
turbine are properly level. If not properly leveled this can aect
both performance and power output.
In addion to power output being aected there is the potenal
the blades could rotate in the opposite direcon loosening the
rotor nut creang a safety concern.
NOTE: if the turbine is not level the turbine will always
sele in the o-level posion, causing reduced power
and performance.
TIP: Installing wind turbine using roof mount kit tower
or on a building can aect performance due to in-
creased turbulence.

AIR WIND TURBINE WIRING OPTIONS
The recommended way to connect the turbine to your baery
bank is to wire the turbine directly to its own set of baery posts;
allowing the turbine to operate independently. The AIR turbine’s
internal
regulator will monitor the baery and maintain the charge as nec-
essary.
Figs. 8 and 9 represent typical single turbine installaons. Fig. 9
includes an up-tower juncon box for UL (Underwriters Laboratory)
compliance.
NOTE: Contact Primus Wind Power for more informaon
about this conguraon.

TIP: It is recommended for longer wire runs to ulize the 24V or 48V tur-
bines due to reduced wire size. All AIR turbines are voltage specic and not
eld adjustable.
TIP: It is recommended to include a lighng arrestor with your installaon.
