User and installation manual

HOOK UP DRAWING:
Notes:
1) Wire size is critical to the successful operation of the wind
generator system. Wire must be sized to allow a maximum of 3%
voltage drop over the distance of the connections.
2) Locate the WCP-D control panel in an area close to the
house battery bank but outside any high temperature areas.
Do not install outdoor or in a tight battery compartment that
houses vented wet cell batteries. Must be in a dry location.
5) Always place Stop/Run switch on WCP-D panel in “STOP”
position prior to making connections to the WCP-D panel.
3) Do not run wind generator wires in bundles that contain SSB
radio or other radio antenna feed wires.
4) Mechanically secure wind generator blades from rotation prior
to making connections. Remove after wiring is complete.
7) Battery connections are made last. Circuit Breaker on the
WCP-D must be in the “OFF” position prior to making final
connections at the battery.
6) Crimp & Butt splice connections are critical for proper system
operation. Use proper crimping tools and clean stripped wires
when making these connections.
8) Wind generator is required to have a built-in regulator to
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.
