The FM1803 is another product technological advancement engineered by Marlec. It follows the great success achieved with the original Rutland Furlmatic FM1800 which has established a proven track record of reliability in a variety of applications from the cold, harsh environment of Antarctica to the hot, dusty climate of the Sahara Desert.

It's new aerodynamic proportions are designed to deliver maximum efficiency from its 1.8m diameter 2-bladed turbine. We've given the FM1803 a new aerodynamic styling and the latest generator technology to deliver nearly 40% more power without increasing the turbine size. In fact we've reduced the weight but the FM1803 is still as robust and "heavy duty" as its predecessor.

Suitable applications include off-grid homes, telemetry stations, telecom sites, radio/tv transmitter stations, rural clinics for refrigeration and lighting, meteorological stations, security systems, navigation aids, portable power for expeditions and military field applications, etc.

Whatever the application you'll find using the FM1803 is convenient, reliable and cost effective. It can be used alone or in conjunction with solar panels and/or a diesel generating set to create your own stand-alone power system free of costly grid installation and on-going costs.

• Includes automatic operation controller incorporating battery overcharge protection, manual stall switch to idle operation for battery maintenance, charge ammeter and battery voltage indicator
• AC voltage transmitted to controller to allow optimum windcharger siting whilst minimising voltage losses
• Latest 3-phase alternator design
• Composite aerofoil blades of durable glass fibre
• Automatic furling system activates in excessive winds to mechanically protect turbine and reduce stresses
• Controller available in 12v or 24v, windcharger unit is identical for both
• Designed to mount on 81mm internal diameter tube

Other System Components:

• Batteries - A battery bank of deep cycle lead acid cells of the non-sealed type only are recommended with a minimum capacity of 300AH @ 12V or 200AH @ 24V
  
• Cable - Three core cable is required between the wind generator and controller, the thickness of this cable depends on the length and more details are given in the Installation Manual. Distances up to 50m should use 1.5mm² cable.
• Mounting Pole / Tower - a minimum height of 6m of 81mm inside diameter tube supported by a minimum of 4 guy wires is necessary. Further details are given in the Installation Manual.
