Alt-E Tips click to view hide

Q. Why am I only measuring 5 or 6 volts from my AIR?
A. The turbine controller circuitry must sense a battery bank voltage of 10.5 volts (for a 12V turbine) or 21 volts (for a 24V turbine) in order to operate properly. If you attempt the "drill spin" test, as outlined in the Bench Test section of the manual, please note that the turbine must be connected to a battery. If done without the battery connection, you will only measure a fraction of the rated voltage output. This is normal.
Q. How do I know the AIR is charging?
A. For a precise indication of charge current you will need to install an amp meter (ammeter) in your system. The meter or meter shunt should be installed in-line on the positive wire. Almost any amp meter with a suitable current capacity and range will work. We offer a 30 Amp ammeter (in the search bar above on our site, just search for the phrase '30A ammeter').
Q. Can I run my AIR through my solar panel controller?
A. Because the turbine must be able to sense battery bank voltage, the AIR cannot be run through external controllers or devices that contain diodes. These are frequently found in solar panel controllers, to keep the panels from discharging at night - but, these diodes will put the turbine into "open circuit" mode and prevent energy production.
Q. How do I use the stop switch?
A. When wired as shown in the manual diagram, RUN is up and BRAKE is down. Do not use the center switch position - this is "open circuit" and the turbine will not produce any charging energy for you. Worse yet, this position will cause the turbine to repeatedly cycle between spinning and braking, which can cause excessive wear and can void your warranty. The stop switch is included with the Marine version of our AIR products, so that sailors can turn off the turbine while in a slip or mooring. In other cases, the stop switch is not needed and the AIR will brake on its own when in regulation or during extremely high wind speeds. If your installation calls for a stop switch, you can purchase a 50A stop switch (in the search bar above on our website, just search for the phrase 'stop switch').
Q. What does the red LED indicate?
A. The red LED on your new turbine can provide important information. When steady, the AIR is charging. Slow blinking indicates regulation. If you don't see a charge indicator or regulation flashing, under normal operating conditions, then check your wiring for bad connections or breaks. Don't forget to check the fuse or circuit breaker.

Air Breeze marineAir Breeze Cut-A-Way Demo

Air Breeze land

 

The Air Breeze Cut-a-way demo is an actual sized 200 watt Air Breeze Land or Marine wind generator (please choose one version when ordering). The side has been cut-out to reveal the working parts of this unit, including the magnetic statorand internal circuit board that "controls" the unit. THIS IS NOT A WORKING UNIT - it cannot be installed to generate electricity from the wind. This demo is for educational puposes only. The picture on the right is the Air Breeze Marine Cut-A-Way Demo.

Please note: The Air Breeze Marine demo is painted white; the Air Breeze Land demo is unpainted metal.
