Rutland Furlmatic 910-4 Windcharger Installation & Operation
Assembly & Installation

Eleven Step Quick Start Guide

1. Choose an open site that exposes the Windcharger to a clear flow of wind and
avoids obstructions, this is essential for effective operation of the furling tail
system. Read the section on Siting.
2. Choose a mounting pole with an internal diameter of 41mm and external
diameter of no greater than 50mm for the top 0.5 m minimum to ensure secure
fixing to the tower. Any play between the tower and the post adaptor must be
taken up with a "shim."
3. Drill the mounting pole, if required, in preparation to accept and secure the
Windcharger. See Assembly and Installation section.
4. Choose suitable two core cable to connect from the Windcharger to the
regulator. Up to 20m this should be of at least 2.5mm² cross sectional area. For
other distances see the table in Cable Specifications. A short section of 4mm²
cross sectional area is required to link the regulator to the battery.
5. Position the mounting pole (this may be done on the ground before raising the
pole) so that the selected cable can be threaded along it.
6. Fit the blades, tail and nose to the Windcharger using fasteners provided. It is
essential that 4 screws are fitted per blade.
7. Join the cable threaded through the pole to the Windcharger output cable
using the connector block provided. Wrap with insulating tape. Alternatively use a
latching plug and socket. We recommend looping back the cable and securing
with a cable tie to provide strain relief to the joint.
8. Carefully push the cables down the pole whilst sliding the post adaptor down
the pole. Line up the holes and secure in place with the screws and tab washers
provided. Do not allow the turbine to spin freely.
9. Locate the Marlec charge regulator close to the battery and carefully follow
ALL the regulator guidelines and installation sequences for connecting the
Windcharger through to the battery.
10.Ensure that the battery connections are permanent as the Windcharger should
NEVER be operated without a connection to the battery.
11.Raise and secure the Windcharger. It can now be allowed to rotate. Follow the
Up and Running- Five Points Final Checklist featured later. Also the General
Guidelines and Warnings section expands on the above points.
