OVERVIEW:

This control panel is designed to be installed indoors protected from weather. Installation requires drilling holes

into the base of the plastic enclosure to allow for mounting and wiring.

The Circuit Breaker switch is used to turn on and off the wind turbine control panel as well as provide protection in

case of a major fault. The RUN-STOP toggle switch controls the operation of the wind turbine. In the RUN

position, it allows the wind turbine to operate and produce power while in the STOP position it will electrically break the wind turbine stopping or stalling the rotation (in this mode some rotation may occur in windy conditions). The center position is the OPEN position, disconnecting the wind turbine from the battery bank but not brake the wind turbine. WARNING – the turbine should not be left in the Open Circuit/Middle position on the stop switch except during trouble shooting for short periods.

Warning It is strongly recommended to recheck the tightness of the screws on the terminal block where the connections are made. Initially, tight screw connections will loosen as the wire compresses and therefore going back to recheck the tightness of the screws after a period of time will help assure a good connection. 2) Mounting: Mechanically install the panel into the enclosure base using all 4 cover screws. 3) Battery Connection: Verify the Circuit Breaker on the Control Panel is in the “OFF” position.

Note It is strongly recommended the installer/user read the PWP instruction/start up manuals prior to powering up the WCP - D and related equipment. Adjustments may be necessary based on the type of batteries in the system and other optional features which may be needed for your particular installation. DISPLAY OPERATION: Backlight Control: short press the small button located on the right side of the display to turn on or off the backlight.

TROUBLESHOOTING: 1. Wind Turbine is Cycling On/Off: When your battery bank is approaching top off (full charge), you may see the wind turbine starting and stopping very frequently. This is caused by the wind turbine attempting to do the final top off on to your battery bank. It may be necessary to lower the voltage set point for the wind generator regulator to eliminate this problem. See the PWP instruction manual for more information. 2.

HOOK UP DRAWING: Battery to Fuse connection max of 7" Battery Bank RED BLACK + Mechanically support wires in mast from pulling on splices. 12-48 VDC House Battery Notes: Fuse prevent overcharging of batteries. If wind generator is not equipped with a built-in regulator, and external shunt regulator (diversion load controller) or similar should be connected to the battery to prevent overcharging.
