If the battery is over discharged the second time in the same day ,the controller will not recovery automatically.Only when the battery voltage restores to the voltage recovery point and the lights are off once (the lights are on for the next day),it will automatically switch to the battery for the load power .

Ø  Optional temperature compensation function

4.Operation Process 

The wiring diagram of wind&solar hybrid system and Terminal connection of wind/solar hybrid controller as following.

After installing wind wind/solar hybrid system, please connect the controller accurately as the sequential operation

Ø  Open the package and check whether the equipment is damaged due to transportation or not.

Ø  Choose the appropriate line diameter. The current through per square millimeter of wires is not more than 5A .

Ø  Connect DC load to “DC OUTPUT” terminal : The first load should be connected to "+" and "-1" of the “DC OUTPUT” terminals , The second load should be connected to "+" and "-2" of the “DC OUTPUT” terminals. The modes of load output can be setted according to the requirements of system .( The half-power output is only applicable to LED load ).

Ø  Connect battery positive pole to the positive (+) “BATTERY” terminal, Connect battery negative pole to the negative(-) “BATTERY” terminal with copper core cable.

 Although the conntroller has anti-reverse protection, but reversing battery is still forbidden!

Ø  Ensure wind turbine in brake status and then connect the wind turbine output lines to the “WIND INPUT” terminals in back panel .

Ø  Cover solar panel with a shelter and then connect solar panels to the “SOLAR INPUT” terminals in back panel. 

Ø  Remove the shelter of solar panle and release the brake switch of wind turbine.

Ø  Install matched software into computer ( XP system).  then connect controller with computer through RS232 or 485 serial port communication and data cable.The software will display the system parameters.

Ø  Users can set parameters and load output modes through the software and the LCD key-press

Three controlling modes of the first output which are shown on the LCD as follows :

1) The belown picture shows interface of light-control on and light-control off. (Note: In order to show particularly the necessary content, we delete the other contents of the LCD ) .

Lower-left corner of LCD displays "1" which symbolizes the first load output. The right side displays "load" and a sun symbol which suggest that the load is under light- control ( light-control on and light -control off. In this mode), the controller will detect the light intensity from solar panel voltage, Initiate the corresponding load output automatically when it is dark and stop output automatically at dawn. The voltage point of light- control on and light-control off can be setted by LCD key and serial port communication.

Interface of light-control on and light-control off

2）The belown picture shows interface of light-control on and time-control off.

Lower-left corner of LCD displays "1" which symbolizes the first load output. The right side displays "load" and a sun symbol which has a clock symbol inside. All suggest that the load is under light-control on and time-control off. In this mode, the controller will detect the light intensity from solar panel voltage, Initiate the corresponding load output automatically when it is dark and stop load output automatically when the load is up to the time of time-control off . Or stop load output eventhoug the load isn’t up to the time-control off but it is at dawn .

Interface of light control on and time control off

3) The belown picture shows interface of constant on .

Lower-left corner of LCD displays "1" which symbolizes the first load output and displays character  “ on ” symbolize the load is constant on which means that the corresponding load has output within 24 hours except for low voltage protection status or fault condition.,The right side displays character "load" This mode is applicable to outdoor monitoring system.

Interface of constant on
