<strong>Rutland</strong> <strong>914i</strong> <strong>Windcharger</strong>Installation & OperationGeneral Guidelines & Warnings Mounting pole outside diameter MUST NOT exceed 48.5mm for at least thetop 0.5m. Larger section poles must not be used as this will reduce the towerto blade clearance. In high wind conditions this could cause damage to the<strong>Windcharger</strong> by allowing the blade to come into contact with the mountingpole. A broken blade will cause turbine imbalance with consequent damage. When turning, the <strong>Windcharger</strong> is capable of generating voltages in excess ofthe nominal voltage. The turbine must never be allowed to rotate unless it iselectrically connected to a regulator or batteries. <strong>Co</strong>nnecting an open circuitrunning turbine to the electrical system can cause serious damage to systemcomponents owing to excessive voltage. Caution must be exercised at alltimes to avoid electric shock. Stopping the turbine – this may be necessary to undertake batterymaintenance. If possible stopping the turbine should be done in low windspeed conditions. The turbine can be slowed by rotating or orienting the tail finupwind, this will slow the turbine sufficiently for it to be safely secured to thepole with rope. Avoid leaving the turbine tied up for any period of time, werecommend that the turbine either be covered to give protection from theweather or removed and stored in a dry location. We recommend the use of<strong>Marlec</strong> charge regulator that includes a shutdown switch. Choose a calm day to install the equipment and consider other safety aspects.No attempt to repair the system should be made until the wind generatorsrestrained from turning. The <strong>Windcharger</strong> is fitted with ceramic magnets, which can be damaged byheavy handling. The main generator assembly should be treated with careduring transit and assembly. It is essential to observe the correct polarity when connecting the <strong>Windcharger</strong>and all other components into an electrical circuit. Reverse connection willdamage the <strong>Windcharger</strong> and incorrect installation will invalidate the warranty.Doc No:SM-137 Iss.

<strong>Rutland</strong> <strong>914i</strong> <strong>Windcharger</strong>Installation & OperationThe fuse supplied must be fitted to protect the system. The <strong>Rutland</strong> <strong>914i</strong> <strong>Windcharger</strong> is suitable for sailing boats and some landbased applications. When storm winds are forecast the turbine can be restrainedto minimise wear and tear particularly when installed on land basedapplications where Furlmatic model windchargers are normally recommended.Note that where the manufacturer recommends a furling type windchargershould have been used the warranty is invalidated in cases of storm damage.

<strong>Rutland</strong> <strong>914i</strong> <strong>Windcharger</strong>Installation & OperationAssembly and InstallationTwelve Step Quick Start Guide1. Choose an open site to expose the <strong>Windcharger</strong> to a clear flow of wind and avoidingobstructions. On board mount the <strong>Windcharger</strong> at least 2.4 metres above the deck andon land at least 4 - 6 m high. Read the full section on Siting.2. Choose a mounting pole with an internal diameter of 41.0mm and externaldiameter of no greater than 48.5 mm for the top 0.6m minimum to (i) preventaccidental damage and (ii) meet warranty conditions.3. Mount a charge regulator, from the <strong>Marlec</strong> range, to a suitable vertical surfaceand close to the battery. Follow instructions supplied with the charge regulator.4. Drill the mounting pole, if required, in preparation to accept and secure the<strong>Windcharger</strong>. See Assembly and Installation section.5. Choose suitable two core cable to connect from the <strong>Windcharger</strong> to the regulator. Upto 20m this should be of at least 2.5mm² cross sectional area. A short section of 4mm²cross sectional area is required to link the regulator to the battery. For other distancessee the table in Cable Specifications.6. Position the mounting pole ( this may be done on the ground before raising thepole ) so that the selected cable can be threaded along it.7. Fit the blades, tail and nose to the <strong>Windcharger</strong> using fasteners provided. It isessential that 4 screws are fitted per blade.8. Join the cable threaded through the pole to the <strong>Windcharger</strong> output cable usingthe connector block provided. Wrap with insulating tape. Alternatively use alatching plug and socket. We recommend looping back the cable and securingwith a cable tie to provide strain relief to the joint.9. Carefully push the cables down the pole whilst sliding the post adaptor downthe pole. Line up the holes and secure in place with the screws and washersprovided. Tighten with the Allen key. Do not allow the turbine to spin freely.10.Locate the charge regulator close to the battery and carefully follow ALL theregulator guidelines and installation sequences for connecting the <strong>Windcharger</strong>through to the battery. Note : Install the in-line fuse supplied with the<strong>Windcharger</strong> between the battery and charge regulator.11.Ensure that the battery connections are permanent as the <strong>Windcharger</strong> shouldNEVER be operated without a connection to the battery.12.Raise and secure the <strong>Windcharger</strong>. It can now be allowed to rotate. Follow the“ Up and Running- Four Points Final Checklist” featured later. Also the“ General Guidelines and Warnings” section expands on the above points.Doc No:SM-137 Iss. C 13.02.13 8 <strong>Marlec</strong> Eng <strong>Co</strong> Ltd

<strong>Rutland</strong> <strong>914i</strong> <strong>Windcharger</strong>Installation & OperationSiting The <strong>Windcharger</strong>General <strong>Co</strong>nsiderationsThe location and height of the mounting pole or tower for your wind turbine willbe the major factor in the overall performance of your system. The smooth flowof wind over land and water is often interrupted by a multitude ofobstructions causing wind sheer and turbulence.Wind shear describes the interference between the fast moving upper air andthe slow moving air close to the ground and the resulting decrease in averagewind speed as one gets closer to the ground.Turbulence is caused by the wind passing over obstructions such as mooredboats, trees, and buildings.Both wind sheer and turbulence diminish with height and can be overcomesimply by putting the turbine sufficiently high above them as shown in Fig 4.Wind speed decreases and turbulence increases where obstructions exist.<strong>Co</strong>nsider also that downwind obstructions can be as detrimental to performanceas upwind obstructions.It is therefore essential that the wind generator should be located in an area asfree as possible from disturbed wind flow.Fig. 4WIND DIRECTIONAREA OF TURBULENCEH2H2H20HDoc No:SM-137 Iss.

<strong>Rutland</strong> <strong>914i</strong> <strong>Windcharger</strong>Installation & OperationMaintenance and TroubleshootingInspection and MaintenanceThe <strong>Rutland</strong> <strong>914i</strong> requires no scheduled maintenance but an annual inspectionshould be carried out to monitor the general condition of the system to ensurethe electrical and mechanical integrity and safety of the system.WARNING! Before inspection, the turbine should either be lowered to theground or tied to prevent the generator from turning. To stop the generator fromturning proceed as follows:1. Either rotate the switch to stall mode on the charge regulator if used OR turnthe wind generator out of the wind (180°) using the tail, a hole isprovided in the tail fin to assist in this. The generator will gradually slow down.2. Tie a blade to the mounting pole to prevent it from rotating.Whilst the generator is stationary, the following routine checks should beperformed:1. Check the blades for damage, eg chips or nicks. Replace any damagedblades. The turbine should not be operated with damaged blades as this maycause imbalance resulting in premature wear and possible failure. Check theblade screws for tightness.2. Check all other nuts, bolts and screws for tightness.3. Check the yaw axis for free rotation.4. Check tower assembly for condition.5. Check the tension of the guy wires if applicable. The tension of guy wiresshould be checked frequently during the first year.6. The unit can be wiped with a mild detergent and rinsed with water to removedirt and debris.Note: The <strong>Windcharger</strong> is designed for continuous running to achievemaximum resistance to water ingress. Should you wish to take theunit out of service for an extended period it is recommend that theunit be removed from the mounting and stored in a dry location orcovered.Doc No:SM-137 Iss.

<strong>Rutland</strong> <strong>914i</strong> <strong>Windcharger</strong>Installation & OperationTroubleshootingIn the unlikely event that your <strong>Rutland</strong> <strong>914i</strong> should develop a defect, the turbineshould first be tied to prevent the blades from turning to perform the static testsbelow. (Follow the procedure described in the Inspection and Maintenancesection) It will be necessary to let it run for the tests to check for powerproduction.Read the Electrical <strong>Co</strong>nnection and Up and Running sections and be satisfiedthat your system complies.Is there sufficient wind? The <strong>Rutland</strong> <strong>914i</strong> needs 5 knots wind speed to startcharging. The wind speed across the turbine blades may be greatly reduced in amarina or built-up area compared with the reading on a masthead anemometeror weather reports.Static Tests:Is the battery in good condition? Check the voltage and electrolyte level ofeach battery.Check electrical continuity throughout the system, especially corrosion andpoor connections in cable joins and connector blocks.Running Tests:Check for power output from the windcharger, following this procedure:1. Set a digital multimeter to DC Amps, scale of between 5 and 10 if possible.<strong>Co</strong>nnect the meter positive (+) probe to the wind generator output positivecable and the meter negative (-) to the regulator input positive. Providedthere is sufficient wind there should be a current reading. This establishesthat power is being delivered.2. Using the same multimeter setting as above measure between the regulator tobattery + and the battery +. Provided there is sufficient wind there should be acurrent reading. This establishes if power is passing through the regulator.3. If both above are unsuccessful set the multimeter to DC Volts. Disconnect thewind generator from the regulator and connect the meter + to the windgenerator + and the meter – to the wind generator -. Provided there issufficient wind there should be a variable voltage reading according to thespeed of the wind seen at the wind turbine. This will establish if the windgenerator is able to deliver power or not.4. If tests 1 and 3 are successful but test 2 fails to produce results connect thewind generator directly to the battery. Set the digital multimeter to DC Ampsand measure power between the wind generator + and the battery +. If areading is measured, providing there is sufficient wind, then the regulator isfaulty.Doc No:SM-137 Iss. C 13.02.13 19 <strong>Marlec</strong> Eng <strong>Co</strong> Ltd


<strong>Rutland</strong> <strong>914i</strong> <strong>Windcharger</strong>Installation & Operation5. If the wind turbine fails to deliver any current or open circuit V readingundertake the further tests below.6. Mechanical inspection. It may be necessary to remove the windcharger fromits pole for the following tests.Check the brushes and slipring for wear or damage. To inspect the brushes,remove the nacelle by removing the three fixing screws and slide the nacellebackwards towards the tail fin. The brushes and slipring can be inspected byremoving the four self-tapping screws holding the brush holder assembly inplace. Remove any black deposits from slipring with emery paper. Heavy depositsand reduced power indicate a possible reverse connection to the battery(see Page 10).Check hub for free rotation with generator disconnected from battery.If the hub does not rotate freely, check for a possible short circuit in the wiring.If no wiring fault is found refer to your dealer or manufacturer.If the above checks have identified a need for spare parts or failed to identify theproblem you should contact <strong>Marlec</strong> who can advise you of your nearestdistributor in their world wide network. In the first instance we recommend thatyou contact the company from whom the product was originally purchased.If in doubt, refer to your dealer or manufacturer.Doc No:SM-137 Iss.

Pour obtenir pleinesatisfaction de votre éolienne <strong>Rutland</strong> <strong>914i</strong>, nous vous recommandons de lire entièrement cemanuel et de vous familiariser avec son contenu avant de commencer l’installation ou de l’utiliser.Principales caractéristiques et applications <strong>Co</strong>nception aérodynamique pour une bonne prise au vent. Tourne avec peu de vent pour optimiser les performances même par vent faible. Matériaux de qualité pour une durée de vie optimale, une bonne résistance aux UV et auxconditions climatiques. Permet de charger des batteries 12V ou 24V. <strong>Co</strong>nçue pour fonctionner sur des bateaux, des camping-cars, des mobil-homes ou sur dessites où une faible puissance est nécessaire pour faire fonctionner des appareils ménagers, del’instrumentation, etc. NB : il existe d’autres modèles d’éoliennes conçues pour une installationterrestre permanente. Venez les découvrir sur notre site www.marlec.co.ukInformations générales et mises en garde Le diamètre externe du mât ne doit pas être supérieur à 48,5mm, au moins sur les 50 dernierscentimètres. Ne pas utiliser de mât plus gros au risque de réduire le jeu nécessaire entre lespales et le mât. En cas de vents forts, les pales risquent de heurter le mât et de s’endommager.Une pale brisée provoque un déséquilibre capable d’entraîner des dégâts importants. Lorsqu’elle fonctionne, l'éolienne peu générer de l'électricité à haute tension, c’est pourquoi ellene doit pas tourner tant qu’elle n’est pas reliée à un régulateur ou à des batteries. Raccorderdirectement l’éolienne à l’installation électrique peut provoquer des dégâts importants en raisonde la surtension. Pour éviter tout risque d’électrochoc, vous devez être constamment vigilant. Stopper l’éolienne – Cela peut s’avérer nécessaire avant d’intervenir sur les batteries. Dans lamesure du possible, il est préférable de le faire lorsque le vent est faible. L’éolienne peut alorsêtre ralentie en orientant l’aileron contre le vent ce qui permet de l’immobiliser en l’attachant aumât avec une corde. Éviter de l’immobiliser trop longtemps. Il est recommandé de la couvrirpour la protéger des effets du climat ou de la déposer pour l’entreposer en lieu sec. Lerégulateur HRDX, vendu en option, est équipé d’un interrupteur Marche/Arrêt. Entres autres éléments de sécurité, effectuer l’installation par temps calme. Aucune tentative de réparation ne doit être engagée tant que l'éolienne n'est pas immobilisée. L'éolienne est équipée d'aimants céramiques qui peuvent facilement être abîmés lors de leurmanipulation. Elle doit être maniée avec précaution durant le transport et le montage. Vents forts – Par vents forts, la sécurité thermique intégrée peut stopper l’éolienne pourl’empêcher de surchauffer. Dans ce cas, l’éolienne ne produit plus d’électricité et sa vitesse derotation peut ralentir et d’ augmenter, le temps nécessaire au refroidissement. Elle se remetautomatiquement en marche lorsque la température a baissé. Si les vents forts persistent etplus particulièrement par temps chaud, vous verrez ces cycles se répéter. S’il vous est possibled’accéder à l’éolienne en toute sécurité, il est préférable de la bloquer temporairement.Doc No:SM-137 Iss. C 13.02.13 21 <strong>Marlec</strong> Eng <strong>Co</strong> Ltd

<strong>Rutland</strong> <strong>914i</strong> <strong>Windcharger</strong>Installation & OperationEinleitungDeutscheWir gratulieren und bedanken uns für den Erwerb Ihres <strong>Rutland</strong> <strong>914i</strong> <strong>Windcharger</strong>s. Wir leistendie beste Sorgfalt bei der Herstellung von allen unseren Geräten gemäß dem anerkanntenBetriebsstandard ISO9001. Zur Gewährleistung für alle Vorteile beim Gebrauch von <strong>Rutland</strong> <strong>914i</strong>bitten wir Sie diese Anleitung vollständig durchzulesen, bevor Sie mit der Montage undInbetriebnahme des <strong>Windcharger</strong>s fortfahren.Zusammenfassung der Funktionen und Anwendungen Aerodynamisch gestaltet für einen ausgezeichneten Luftstrom mit Luftstabilität. Das Anlassen bei einer niedrigen Windgeschwindigkeit maximiert Stromerzeugung bei geringenWindstärken. Hochwertige Baustoffe für Strapazierfähigkeit, UV-Strahlungsstabilität undWitterungsbeständigkeit. Der Wind Generator liefert eine Gleichstrom zum Aufladen eines 12 oder 24V Akku. Für die Nutzung auf Segeljachten an Bord, bei Reisemobilen, Wohnmobilen und für Standortebestimmt, wobei ein geringer Stromverbrauch für Haushaltsgeräte und auch fürNavigationsgeräte etc. erforderlich ist. Anmerkung: Für weitere <strong>Windcharger</strong> von <strong>Rutland</strong>, welche für die dauerhafte Montage an Ortund Stelle entworfen wurden, treten Sie bitte mit <strong>Marlec</strong> in Kontakt oder besuchen Siewww.marlec.co.uk für weitere Informationen.Allgemeine Richtlinien & Gefahrenhinweise Die Mastmontage DARF den Außendurchmesser von 48.5mm, zumindest den Oberen von0.5m NICHT überschreiten. Größere Mastquerschnitte dürfen nicht verwendet werden, da dieszu einer geringeren Distanz zwischen dem Mast und dem Rotorblattspiels führt. Bei hohenWindbedingungen könnte es beim <strong>Windcharger</strong> zu Schaden führen, da das Rotorblatt mit demfestmontierten Mast in Kontakt kommen könnte. Ein zerbrochenes Rotorblatt verursacht einUngleichgewicht der Turbine und dementsprechend Schäden. Bei der Drehbewegung ist der <strong>Windcharger</strong> in der Lage Stromspannungen höher als dieNennspannung zu erzeugen. Es darf nie zugelassen werden, dass die Turbine rotiert, es seidenn das sie elektrisch mit einem Aufladekontrollgerät oder mit Batterien angeschlossen ist.Der Anschluss einer laufenden Turbine im Leerlauf an das Elektrosystem kann ernsthafteSchäden bei den Anlagebestandteilen, aufgrund der überhöhten elektrischen Spannunghervorrufen. Vorsicht ist stets zu bewahren zur Vermeidung eines Stromschlages. Das Anhalten der Turbine – wird bei der Wartung der Batterie notwendig. Falls möglich solltedie Turbine bei Bedingungen mit niedrigen Windgeschwindigkeiten gestoppt werden. DieTurbine kann durch das Rotieren oder durch das windwärts legen der Heckschaufel desRotorblattes abgebremst werden, das führt zu einem Anhalten der Turbine, sodass sie sichermit einem Seil an den den Mast befestigt werden kann. Vermeiden Sie, dass die Turbine fürlängere Zeit festgebunden bleibt, wir empfehlen stattdessen, dass die Turbine entwederabgedeckt wird, um sie gegen die Witterung zu schützen oder entfernt und in einem trockenenRaum gelagert wird. Wir empfehlen den Nutzen des <strong>Marlec</strong> Aufladekontrollgerätes mit einemintegrierten Schalter zur Stromabschaltung. Wählen Sie einen windstillen Tag für die Montage der Anlage und beachten Sie dabei weitereSicherheitsfaktoren. Es darf kein Reparaturversuch an der Anlage stattfinden, bis alle Drehbewegungen desWindgenerators gedrosselt sind.Doc No:SM-137 Iss.

<strong>Rutland</strong> <strong>914i</strong> <strong>Windcharger</strong>Installation & Operation Der <strong>Windcharger</strong> ist mit einem Keramikmagnet ausgestattet, der bei einer schwerwiegendenHandhabung beschädigt werden kann. Der Hauptstromgenerator sollte mit Sorgfalt währenddem Transport und der Montage behandelt werden. Hohe Windstärken – bei hohen Windstärken kann sich das eingebaute Thermostat des<strong>Windcharger</strong>s in Betrieb setzten, um ein Überheizen des Stromgenerators zu verhindern.Während diesem Betriebszustand wird die Ausgabe des Stromgenerators beendet, das Tempoder Turbine wird sich zeitweise verslangsamen und beschleunigen bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt,wenn die niedrigen Temperaturwerte erreicht wurden, dann wird der Stromgenerator erneutangeschlossen und aufgeladen. Dies lässt sich möglicherweise in geschlossener Reihe beilanganhaltenden hohen Windstärken ersehen, insbesondere bei hohen Außentemperaturen.Falls ein Zugriff ohne Gefahr möglich ist, wird es bevorzugt die Turbine zeitweise abzusichern. Es ist notwendig die korrekte Polarität zu beachten, wenn der <strong>Windcharger</strong> und alle weiterenBestandteile an den elektrischen Stromkreis angeschlossen werden. Ein Rückwärtsstrom wirdden <strong>Windcharger</strong> beschädigen und eine inkorrekte Installation führt dazu, dass die Garantiegegenstandslos gemacht wird. Die mitgelieferte Sicherung muss zum Schutz des Gerätes angebracht werden. Der <strong>Rutland</strong> <strong>914i</strong> <strong>Windcharger</strong> eignet sich für Segelboote und für einige Anwendungen zuLand. Wenn Sturmwinde vorhergesagt werden, kann die Turbine gedrosselt werden, um einenVerschleiß und Abnutzen zu reduzieren, insbesondere wenn sie für Anwendungen zu Landeinstalliert wurde, wobei dafür normalerweise die <strong>Windcharger</strong> der Furlmatic Modelle empfohlenwerden. Anmerkung, wenn es vom Hersteller empfohlen wurde, dass ein <strong>Windcharger</strong> der FurlmaticModelle für jegliche Art von Segelvorrichtungen zu nutzen sei, wird die Garantie im Falle einesSturmschadens gegenstandlos gemacht.Im Zweifelsfall wenden Sie sich bitte an Ihren Fachhändler, an einen fachkundigenElektroingenieur oder an den Hersteller.6 x Rotorblatter und24 x Schrauben1 x Haube1 x Nase und3 x Schrauben1 x Pfosten Adapter1 x GeneratornabeDoc No:SM-137 Iss.
