Introduction
This diversion controller is the result of our many attempts to use the controllers currently on the market
(offered by some of the largest names in the business), to work in conjunction with our wind turbines. None of
these diversion controllers did what we needed a diversion controller to do. So we designed our own -- and
added all of the features that are truly needed in a diversion controller.
Some of the key features of this controller are:
• Microprocessor controlled -- This is very important for both stability and functionality.
• User changeable settings -- Several controllers on the market set the dump level, and that’s that!
• High amp rating – 40 amps with the one included relay. Additional relays can be added.
• Battery status LED - Several controllers do not tell you what's going on - This one does!
• Push to test. - Ever wonder if your controller & load are working OK?
• Steel enclosure - Steel face, with standard singlewide outlet box with conduit openings.
• Easy terminations – Simple to install.
• Reverse polarity protection. – The electronics are protected against accidental reverse polarity.
• Ability to divert the source from the batteries to the load, or dump both the batteries along with the
source.
Some specifics
The microprocessor is the heart of the controller. It is given the battery voltage and the user changeable trip
points. This information is analyzed and acted upon by the microprocessor. The battery level is checked and
based on that information the Green LED flashes or is illuminated as follows:
1 - (One) Flash indicates the battery is low -- less than 12 volts.
2 - (Two) Flashes indicates the battery is 12 to 12.3V
3 - (Three) Flashes indicates the battery is 12.4 to 12.7v (A fully charged lead acid battery at rest)
4 - (Four) Flashes indicate the battery is 12.8 to 13.0V
5 - ( Five) Flashes indicates the battery is above 13.1V but less than 13.5V
Steady green means the battery is full
Settings are adjustable. Changing the trip point will alter the flashing levels of the green Led.
The red LED is illuminated when the battery is being dumped at 14.4 volts or the charge source diverted. The
dump remains active for a minimum of 5 seconds, at which time it is checked by the microprocessor. If battery
voltage drops below the "Dump Cancel " level, the dump is disabled; otherwise the dump is continued and
rechecked every 5 seconds.
When you click the "TEST" push-button - the 5-second cycle is started (one time, unless the batteries are within
the "Dump start" and "Dump Cancel" zone.)
Settings are user changeable! By simply turning a simple potentiometer with a small screwdriver, you
can quickly adjust the trip point.
High amp rating -- 40 Amps as configured!
