Directions for installation
The Windmaster 500 is equipped with a so called
“anti-islanding safety device”. It ensures immediate
switch off in case of grid failure. European countries
maintain different regulations with regard to anti-
islanding devices and the supply of energy back to
the utility grid in general.
In some countries one single Windmaster 500 may
be connected to an existing electricity branch circuit
which is fused with 16 Amp. In other countries
different restrictions apply. Please acquaint yourself
with the local regulations on this issue!
The Windmaster 500 is sold as a part of a system.
Your system vendor will provide the Windmaster
500 with the appropriate settings for the local
electrical grid. Never connect the Windmaster 500
to a utility grid which is not suitable for use with the
apparatus!
During installation you can check by means of the
LED-indicator whether the installation is done
properly. This check can only be carried out when
sufficient wind power is present.
Although the Windmaster 500 is protected against
wrong polarity, the positive (+) and negative (–) of
the wind turbine connections should not be
exchanged.
Install the product according to the instructions
stated on page 3 and 4.
