If the battery bank is “topped off” or fully charged, the wind generator regulator will prevent the wind generator
from rotating. The wind turbine LED should blink and if there is sufficient wind it should begin spinning and
current should be displayed provided the battery bank is at 85% or less. Please see the Primus AIR instruction
manual that came with the wind generator for more information.
Warning
Set the wind generator RUN-STOP switch in the “STOP” position prior to turning off or on the power
circuit breaker.
In order for the Hybrid energy systems to be operational, the circuit breaker must be left in the “On” position
which allows the wind generator to be applying energy to the battery bank when wind is available. Leaving the
circuit breaker “on” and wind circuits active will deplete only a minor amount of energy from the battery during
non-energy producing periods and should not be of concern. The wind system typically works in harmony
together with other energy producing systems on board such as solar PV, alternator or AC powered battery charger
and therefore it is not necessary to turn “off” the wind circuit breaker when these are active (refer to PWP
instruction manual for more information).
Note
It is strongly recommended the installer/user read the PWP instruction/start up manuals prior to powering
up the WCP - D and related equipment. Adjustments may be necessary based on the type of batteries in the
system and other optional features which may be needed for your particular installation.
DISPLAY OPERATION:
Backlight Control: short press the small button located on the right side of the display to turn on or off the
backlight. The backlight has a memory function and therefore it will keep your setting even after it powered off.
Energy Display/Reset: The energy information on the display represents a cumulative amount of energy
production from its prior reset. To reset it back to zero complete the following steps:
1. Long press the button on display until the power display area reads “CLr” and then release the button.
2. The energy display will begin flashing indicating it in the reset mode. Short press the button again and the
energy value should be cleared and it should automatically exit the flashing reset mode.
3. If there is no activity within 5 seconds, it means the energy value has not been clear and the meter will
automatically exit the energy reset mode.
4. If the value has not cleared to zero then repeat step #1 to make a second attempt to clear the reset of the
energy value.
The Energy value is accumulated number (Energy = Power x Time). It will be maintained in the memory of the
meter even if circuit breaker is turned off. A manual Energy value reset of the display will be necessary if you
want to have a new Energy value.
Set Voltage Alarm: The display meter has built in high and low-voltage alarms. If you wish to adjust them
from the default follow the below instructions:
