Grounding

The SMARTBOX™ Controller is designed to work only with the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine. The turbine uses a negative-grounded electrical system. Grounding for the turbine, battery and AC circuits are provided inside the wiring compartment. Each ground connection can accommodate up to #6 AWG wire size.

GFI: A fuse rated at .5A 250V, accessible from the bottom of the wiring compartment, grounds the negative conductor of the turbine and provides turbine ground-fault protection. Only a Littelfuse 0312.500HXP or equivalent fuse should be used as a replacement.

SHOCK HAZARD

DO NOT connect the battery negative to ground. NEC requirements specify that the battery negative ground must be done only through the 1A fuse. Bonding the battery negative to ground will disable the turbine’s ground fault protection and will result in improper operation. The battery compartment should be grounded if made of metal. Failure to follow this warning may result in death, personal injury or property damage.

SHOCK HAZARD AND FIRE HAZARD

Fuses must only be replaced by qualified service personnel, such as a certified electrician or technician. For continued protection again risk of fire, replace only with the same type and rating of fuse. Failure to follow this warning may result in death, personal injury or property damage.

SHOCK HAZARD

Disconnect wind and battery circuits before removing the grounding connections or before removing or installing the fuse. Wait at least 5 minutes for the internal circuitry to discharge before servicing the unit. Failure to follow this warning may result in death, personal injury or property damage.

Wiring

PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION: REQUIRED

Installations must meet all local electrical codes. Installations for the equipment should only be performed by a qualified electrician or an Authorized Installer.

SHOCK HAZARD

Disconnect turbine and battery circuits before wiring. Turn off all power before wiring. Failure to follow this warning may result in death, personal injury or property damage.
