WIRING DIAGRAMS

These diagrams represent the four possible combinations of output wiring. They are in order of potential. If you find your air gap adjustment to be at a minimum and wish to try for more power, then try using the next higher combination. If you find the air gap is very large, try the next lower one. Note that there is only a small change in potential between #2 to #3.


CURRENT MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUE

A built-in shunt (precision resistance) is installed in the junction box, which allows the current to be measured digitally. This is done with the supplied DMM (digital multi meter). To measure the current produced by the generator, set the DMM scale to "DC milli-volts" or "200 m" at the nine o'clock position. Plug the leads into their corresponding color-coded jacks on the shunt in the junction box. This will give current readings from 0.1 amps to 199.9 amps. Of course, the DMM can be used for other tasks with your renewable energy system.
