Rese HX VWG2008V2 XXV E Understanding batteries and suggested menu settings The HX VWG2008 hybrid charge controller is preconfigured with default settings in the user programmable locations Default 12 volt battery Default 24 volt battery Charge off 14 32 volts 28 64 volts User off 10 98 volts 21 97 volts User on 12 44 volts 24 88 volts Brake current 40 amp 20 amp Brake time 50 seconds 50 seconds The information below is provided as a guide only The users should do their own research Wet Cell flooded Gel Cell and Absorbed Glass Mat AGM are various versions of lead acid batteries Lead acid batteries should never be run flat The maximum recommended discharge is 75 of the total This means that the battery should have a minimum of 25 of charge remaining when it is put on charge The chart below indicates the amount of charge a battery has at the voltages shown Charge State 12 volt battery 24 volt battery 100 fully charged 12 65 volts 25 30 volts 75 12 45 volts 24 90 volts 50 12 24 volts 24 48 volts 25 12 06 volts 24 12 volts Discharged 11 9 volts 23 8 volts If you wish to get the maximum life from a battery it is best to ensure it is not discharged more than 75 at any time In fact slightly less is ideal Therefore for maximum battery life set User off to 12 46V 24 92V and User on to 12 65V 25 30V If you use very little load and the t2. result in the destruction of both the hybrid charge controller and the wind turbine and possible serious injury or death Refer to connection diagram on next page Do not erect or connect the turbine to the charge controller in windy conditions Always have the 3 wires from the turbine shorted together if not connected to the hybrid charge controller Ensure correct polarity is observed at all times i e Positive to positive and negative to negative for ALL connections Failure to comply to this will void warranty Steps 1 Always connect the battery to the charge controller first as shown in the diagram on the next page 2 Ensure brake switch is on Do not proceed to the next step in windy conditions 3 Remove one wire from the turbine leaving the other two shorted together and connect it to the hybrid charge controller as shown below 4 Remove the second wire and connect it to the hybrid charge controller Note that at this point there is no load on the turbine until the second wire is connected to the hybrid charge controller so do this step as quickly as possible and NEVER do this in windy conditions 5 Connect the third turbine wire The turbine is now protected 6 Connect solar if have it as shown below 7 Release brake switch and confirm turbine spins 8 Do not connect the load at this time until you have programmed the hybrid charge controller to values to suit the load Connection diagram WINDGE
3. HX VWG2008 Wind amp Solar Hybrid Charge Controller User Manual Please read this manual very carefully Failure to do so may result in serious injury and permanent damage to the hybrid charge controller and attached wind turbine While every attempt has been made to ensure the information contained in this guide is accurate we advise that we will not be liable for any omissions or inaccuracies Contents A I o m Safety Features Connection Menu system Understanding batteries and suggested menu settings Troubleshooting Specifications A Safety This manual must be fully read and understood before installation If you feel you do not have the necessary ability to connect this device contact your distributor Failure to connect the hybrid charge controller as indicated in Part C of this manual could result in the destruction of both the hybrid charge controller and the wind turbine Wind turbines must be connected to a load at all times The hybrid charge controller is designed to fully protect the attached turbine Other important matters Do not allow the unit to be exposed to moisture rain or other liquids Protect the unit from direct sun and excess heat Ensure the unit is protected from unauthorised access including children Ensure all components are rated at the same voltage i e If you have a turbine rated at 12 volts the solar panel and battery should also be rated at 12 volts The same applie
