Rutland 914i Windcharger
Electrical Connection and Fitting to The Tower
1. Run the cable selected (see Table 1) down the inside of the pole.
2. Select one of the 2 basic wiring systems on page 12 and follow the manual
provided with the voltage controller.
3. Connect the Windcharger flying leads to the cable protruding from the tower using
the connector block supplied, taking care to observe polarity. Connect the
Windcharger + to cable + and Windcharger – to cable –
Red is + Positive
Black is - Negative
4. Wrap the connection with insulation tape to secure/protect from environment.
Alternatively join the cables using a latching-type plug and socket.
5. Locate the Windcharger post adaptor into the tower whilst gently easing the cable
from the tower base to ensure the cable is not trapped.
6. Secure the Windcharger to the tower using the hex head screws and tab washers
provided. Bend and press the short tab of the washer against a flat on each screw
head to prevent screws from working loose in service. Bend the long tab of the
washer so that it follows the circumference of the pole, tap lightly with a mallet to
maintain the curve. Refer to figure 2.
