The WCP - D is designed and should be used only with the Primus AIR family of wind turbines. The WCP-D has
5 models and is specific to the Primus wind turbine. Primus wind turbines, such as the Air Breeze, Air 40, Air-X
Marine, Air 30, AIR MaX and AIR Silent X, have built-in regulators allowing protection of the batteries from
overcharging. If the wind turbine does not have a built-in regulator, an external diversion load controller will be
required on the battery bank to provide proper protection from over charging.
Warning
Disconnect battery(s) prior to making connections. Secure the rotor blades of the wind turbine mechanically
so that it is unable to rotate.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION:
Locate a suitable mounting area for the WCP - D, preferably as close to the battery bank as possible where it will
be interconnected yet where there is still easy access to view the meter and operate the controls.
Enclosure Mounting: The enclosure of the control panel is designed to be mounted on a surface in the vertical
position only. Additional holes are required to be drilled in the enclosure for mounting and wiring.
1) Remove the cover off the enclosure base during the four corner screws.
2) Identify a mounting location for the enclosure base. It is recommended the control panel be located
as close to the battery bank as possible (7’ or less) for a more accurate reading of battery voltage.
Mark and drill the enclosure back with holes adequate enough to mount the enclosure back to the
mounting area surface (hardware not included) for your specific location.
3) Determine optimum location to bring wires in and out of the enclosure. A 3/4” clear hole is
required to secure the included wire bushings. Typically the wind generator input wire and battery
wires are fed through the top, top one third sides of the enclosure or sometimes through bottom of
the enclosure (see attached typical mechanical drawing locate the holes). When locating wire
bushing holes try to position them so they are as close to the bottom of the enclosure as possible
allowing for easy wiring passage internally while not interfering with the internal circuits.
