During commissioning, the SMARTBOX™ Controller and turbine must be set up.
Settings for the battery type, battery banks and battery capacity must be set up in the
SMARTBOX™ Controller, and the turbine’s components will need to be tested. This
testing can be done with the control panel and LCD screen on the front of the system
controller. Ensure you have this system information prior to commissioning. The
commissioning process will reference menu displays.
The following is the proper procedure to commission the turbine. Do not proceed
with commissioning until all disconnects are in the off position and the turbine is
mechanically locked. The turbine dynamic brake will remain enabled up until the
