Each system is individually tested and incorporates the following components and features:
Rutland 913 Windcharger
Our world renowned quiet, compact and efficient windcharger of less than 1m in diameter. Charging starts at just 2.5m/s (5mph) so a gentle breeze is all that is required to deliver power. Contact Marlec to discuss the proposed site as the Furlmatic model windcharger may be appropriate for very high wind locations.
Solar Panels
Each system is supplied with a 30W or 65W peak power rated BP Solar photovoltaic panel as standard and other sizes are available to order. The solar panel complements the windcharger, delivering power throughout the summer and into icy cold winter days.
Energy Efficient Lantern
The lamp is an 18W triple biax compact fluorescent tube operated through a high efficiency electronic inverter built into the lamp housing. The low profile housing and lens are manufactured from high impact materials and the optics are designed to minimise upward light pollution thereby maximising performance of the low energy lamp. Photometric data available on request. The lamp is activated by sensing day light levels and timer settings, adjustable by the user.
Battery
A high quality sealed battery is used to deliver power over a long life. The maintenance free battery provides energy storage for back up power over periods of low wind & solar power generation. The reserve is determined by usage but typically 4/5 days in wintertime and up to 10 days in summertime.
Controller
The controller interconnects all the components of the system and features voltage regulation to prevent over charge and deep discharge protection for the battery. Built-in programmable controls allow the user to manage the hours of illumination thereby minimising power consumption and conserving power. A wind and solar power shutdown switch is included along with LCD display for operating status and conditions. Supplied with preset factory levels that are restorable.
Raise and Lower Type Column
The purpose designed 8m column raises and lowers for ease of installation and inspection using a hydraulic counterbalance unit available to hire or purchase. The tower is manufactured to BS5649 for highways and is finished galvanised to ISO1461. Paint finishes are available to order, please ask our sales team for a quotation.
Control Gear Housing
Finished to the same standards as the column this houses the battery and controller conveniently at ground level and the door secures with security keys provided.
