the blue blade turbine instructions for use / installation manual

Dear customer We thank you having bought our product. You have decided on a new generation of windgenerator. Compared to traditional windgenerators the essential advantages of our product are: safety, efficiency very low noise emission. You will also profit from our experience of more than 30 years with various windgenerators used at offshore sailing. For long distance cruising the availability of electric energy without the possibility of grid connection is essential. Fair winds at any time Please note that this manual is part of the product and must be read closely. Please study the...

1. Operation and use It´s most efficient to use the regenerative electric sources of both, wind and sun, combined to charge your batteries so that you can make use of daylight and wind for 24 hours. Our hybrid charge controller is suitable for both sources, windpower and max. 180Wp solarpower Hybrid-charge controller. You can also charge the batteries of an electric vehicle with this unit. Further applications are: Any application without grid connection, research units, traffic management systems, emergency systems, street lamps, billboard illumination, projects in developing countries,...

they can break because of ropes or other parts touching the blades in very strong winds. If one of the blades is damaged, activate the brake function manually with the stop switch of the charge controller. If one of the blades is damaged, the rotor system will be out of balance which may be a risk for the whole mounting construction. This has to be considered before mounting the windgenerator in a safe position. Before you install the windgenerator on a mast construction make sure that the 3phase wiring is disconnected from the charge controller or fix one blade so that the system cannot...

Disconnect the battery from the charge controller when working at the system. The turning of the blades must be avoided by fixing one blade to the mast. If not the charge controller will be destroyed. 3. Technical data 3.1. Windgenerator 3.1.1.

5. Operation description All windgenerators use the kinetic energy of the wind. This energy is turned into a turning motion by the blades and thereby changed into 3-phase AC power. The power of the energy increases in line with the wind speed exponentionally. This means that a double wind speed generates octuple power. This must be especially considered in storm conditions. Our spb blades are produced of high-tensil carbon fibre and are hand laminated with epoxy resin. This material provides the maximum consistency at lowest weight. This material is also used in Formula 1 and airspace...

7. Installation Before mounting the SILENTWIND onshore find a suitable position for the windgenerator. It is an ideal position if the wind flows against the blades without any obstructions. This means that the generator is mounted as high as possible. Fixed installation: The height depends on the distraction of the wind by surrounding objects. You can simply test this by fixing a 3 m long – 4cm wide plastic band at the top of a min. 4 meter pole. You can use a 2nd band at 2 meter height. This does not apply to mounting the generator on boats. If the upper band flows horizontely straight or...

Before you are doing the final tightening of the blade screws, 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 the purchasing department needs the exact weight of the undamaged blades. An incorrect tightening torque represents a significant security risk. Regularly...

Test STOP switch: Should be installed from a previous installation a stop switch at the connection cable at the AC- or DC-side ot the charge controller, it must always be removed or secured against switching off. The actuating of the stop switch during the windgenerator is running will destroy immediately the windgenerator or the charge controller. Wiring: All cables connected in line with plan? Check the polarity of all wires on the screw connection poles. Is the 3-phase cable of the SILENTWIND connected to the charge controller? Are the cables correctly crimped and is the strain relief...

Saftey first! Before you start the check up, make sure that the blades are stopped and the battery is not connected to the charge controller. The following check ups should be carried out at regular 12 months intervals: 11.1 Rotor blades Check if the blades show damages like broken edges, damaged surface or cracks. If you notice any damage, the generator must not be used any longer. Check the screwing one day after mounting and after that every 3 months. Eventually then you can turn to a longer interval. 11.2 Check that all accessible screws are correctly fixed. Especially the hexagon srews...
