Commissioning Process

EXPLOSION OR FIRE HAZARD

Entering battery information incorrectly may result in explosion or fire.

During commissioning, the SMARTBOX™ Controller and turbine must be set up. Settings for the battery type, battery banks and battery capacity must be set up in the SMARTBOX™ Controller, and the turbine’s components will need to be tested. This testing can be done with the control panel and LCD screen on the front of the system controller. Ensure you have this system information prior to commissioning. The commissioning process will reference menu displays.

The following is the proper procedure to commission the turbine. Do not proceed with commissioning until all disconnects are in the off position and the turbine is mechanically locked. The turbine dynamic brake will remain enabled up until the turbine disconnect step.

The following is the proper procedure to commission the HONEYWELL™ Wind Turbine. Do not proceed with commissioning until ALL DISCONNECTS are in the OFF position and the turbine blades rotate freely.

1.Check all connections for polarity.

2.Apply battery power to the unit with the disconnect or selector switch inside the battery enclosure.

3.The LCD display will light up and prompt a display:

The Smart Box will display this for

FIRST POWER UP

5 seconds and then move to the

 

required setup information.

4.The system will automatically walk you through the commissioning process. All steps must be completed before the turbine will operate. If problems are found during this process, the battery disconnect can be turned off at any time to restart the process. All of the settings will be saved, but you must start over and go through all the steps until commissioning is complete.

5.For optimal performance it is important to enter optimal battery information

(steps 5-7). We highly recommend using two 12V deep cycle/flooded/marine

100Ahr batteries. For this selection please enter the following optimal settings for best performance.

At the first prompt screen, select the battery type by using the arrow keys. Press ENTER when finished.
