HRSi Charge Regulator Installation and Operation Introduction Congratulations and thank you for purchasing Marlec’s HRSi Charge Regulator. This is the latest technology for voltage regulation of small Rutland wind turbines and solar panels. Summary of Features & Uses • • • • • • • • • • Protects batteries from overcharging. Protects electronic equipment from high battery voltage damage. Automatic 12 Volt or 24 Volt setting. Temperature compensation for optimum charge regime.
HRSi Charge Regulator Installation and Operation Ten Step Quick Start Guide The sequence of connection is critical to the voltage set up of the HRSi. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure no connections are live. See Fig 2 for guidance. 1. Select a covered dry wall location in a ventilated area close to the batteries. 2. Select cables and connectors that will continuously carry a minimum of 10 Amps. No less than 4.

Green All available wind and solar power is charging the battery. Battery voltage is above 13 V ( 26 V ). Amber The HRSi is starting to regulate. Current is flowing to the battery at a reduced rate. The Windcharger may slow down. Battery voltage is between 12 V and 13 V ( 24 V and 26 V ).
HRSi Charge Regulator Installation and Operation Easy Steps To Avoiding Damage To The HRSi Charge Regulator 1. During installation or maintenance set the Stop position. See Fig 1 :- 2. Do not use the Stop switch to brake a speeding Windcharger. 3. During installation the first “live” connection must be to the battery. This configures the 12V or 24V operation. STOP 4.
