3. If the green V and I LED’s flash at the same time, it means that your
   system is in its protection (brake) mode. To evaluate the problem, 
    further press the SET button, and the LCD display will show a set code 
   PR1~PR7. Refer to the description listed above to know what each 
    code stands for.

System protection: 

Your  MPPT  charge  controller,  equipped  with 

sensors inside the unit, comes with four main protection functions.

Self-protection: 

The MPPT charge controller has a temperature sensor. 

Temperature of the internal circuitry is moderated by an internal fan that 
is activated at 45°C (110°F).When the temperature exceeds 65°C (150°F), 
the MPPT will apply both the fan and braking system to prevent damage.

Protection for Battery: 

The MPPT charge controller can sense the 

voltage of battery and the current output/input to battery. If the parameter 
of voltage and current is wrong, then the braking system will be turned 
on.

Protection for Wind Turbine:

 The MPPT charge controller can sense 

the rotation speed of wind turbine. If the rotation speed is over the 
setting value in program, the braking system will be turned on. The latest 
version of MPPT charger controller is also equipped the phase detector 
technology. If the AC output wave from generator is incorrect, that means 
the generator may be damaged. At that moment, the MPPT will apply the 
braking system and the LED lamp to warn users.

Protection for No Battery Connection: 

When  the  MPPT  charge 

controller  shuts  down  due  to  the  abnormal  battery  and  improper 
connection; it will cause free-spin issues. At 150 RPM and above, the 
MPPT charge controller should apply the braking system automatically 
and the power from the wind turbine should be cut off at once. The wind 
turbine will turn on and brake repeatedly. Under safety condition, please 
check the battery wire and function as soon as possible.
