• Read these instruction sheets along with any
other component’s instructions that will connect
to this system!
•
Do not operate the controller without batteries!
Voltage can fluctuate rapidly with fewer batteries
(on/off). In this case you have too much charging for
too few batteries. Increase the amount of batteries.
If your solar panel voltage is too high rapid on/off
dumping may occur. Example: 24v panels to 12v
batteries. Solar and wind work great together.
Wind turbines can charge 24 hours per day. Solar is
8 hours per day max.
• Make sure the controller wires are connected to
batteries before connecting or disconnecting
wind and solar.
• Use the proper sized power cables. Undersized
cables will get very warm or hot. This heat can
cause wires to melt and transfer excessive heat to
the relay.
• Connect the thin sense wires to batteries only. To
extend them, use the same size or larger wire.
DO NOT hookup backwards!
• Do not make adjustments to the controller without
reading additional information first. Adjustments are
recommended only for experienced users or if your
system requires it.
• Make sure you make solid tight connections at and
before the relay screw terminals. If your cable lugs
are too wide to fit under the relay screw plate you
can flip the screw plate over so the flat side is facing
down. Loose or sloppy connections will get hot and
transfer excess heat to the relay causing
overheating.
• It is normal for the relay and its aluminum heat-sink
to be warm or hot when high amps are passing
through. To operate at over 70 amps continuous
you will need a 3 to 4 inch computer type fan
mounted directly underneath the relay blowing up
over the cooling fins on the heat-sink. You can either
let the fan run continuously or attach a timer to
have it off at night when no charging occurs. If you
need them we offer fans and timers on our website.
• The display on the controller is set up to turn off
after a period of inactivity to conserve energy. To
turn it back on just short press the bottom right
button on the underside of the controller.
• Each relay is equipped with a small red light. For
left side relay (solar): Red light ON=solar charging,
OFF=solar not charging. For right side relay
(divert load/s): Red light ON=divert load on,
OFF=divert load off.
• You can connect more of our relays to the controller
to expand charging capability. See our website for
more specialty relays, fans, timers, and more.
• Only mount control board vertically (standing up) as
it will not operate horizontally (laying down).
⚠
WARNING:
Charge controller/board may have
sharp edges. Also be sure to discard carboard and
packing materials around the dump load.
Red = Positive
Black = Negative
