The charge controller should be mounted close to the battery in a ventilated and
cool location which enables you to read the information shown on the LCD display
and to operate the manual brake switch easily. There is a remote brake switch can
be used if the charge controller is not easily accessible.
6. Installation and connection of the charge controller
Especially acid batteries can emit gas when charging. Therefore the charge
controller must not be installed close to those batteries. In case of high concentra-
tion of dangerous gas there is a risk of explosion. Please note the safety regula-
tions, advice of the battery producer.
If the acid batteries are equipped with ventilation pipes to the exterior or if the
storage room of the batteries is otherwise ventilated, the charge controller can be
installed close to the batteries.
Safety device:
Connect the free end of the wire with your wires coming from the wind generator
and the battery with suitable insulating screw joints.
In case you do not use the connecting wires we recommend the use of crimp type
cable sockets to fix your wires directly to the charge controller. After having fixed
the crimp type cable sockets with the bared wires these can be fixed to the cable
sockets.
Please find a sketch of the wiring diagram in the paragraph 1 of this manual.
Make sure that you fix the wires properly to prevent them from getting loose
due to vibrations. Fix the screws sufficiently to ensure electric contact.
Please connect a suitable fuse (50Amp. or more) close to the battery in the positive
wire.
It is most important that you first connect the charge controller to the
battery with the right polarity.
After the connection of the battery you can connect the Silentwind Generator, the
solar panel and if required a load output with maximum 10A. On the 3-phase
output wires of the Silentwind you need not to pay attention to polarity.
