Page 5: 1- W4B-120C Description
• Diversion Load (optional) 1 .2 Operating The W4B-120C will manage battery charging by 3-phase wind turbine from the battery to a dedicated diversion load. 1 .3 Adjustability Eight DIP switches permit the following parameters to be adjusted at the installation site: 1 .4 General Use... - Page 6 • The W4B-120C is configured for negative ground systems. There are no parts in the wind charger’s negative leg. The enclosure can be grounded using the ground termi- nal in the wiring compartment. • There are fuses or mechanical parts inside the W4B-120C to reset or change.

Page 7: 2- W4B-120C Installation
USER MANUAL 2- W4B-120C Installation The installation instructions describe wind battery charging. 2 .1 General Information The mounting location is important to the performance and operating life of the wind char- ger. The environment must be dry and protected as noted below. The wind charger may be installed in a ventilated enclosure with sealed batteries, but never in a sealed battery enclosure or with vented batteries. -

Collector 1 and 2 is the Wind Generator Output Frequency. 2 .4 Installation Steps The W4B-120C wind charger must be installed properly and in accordance with the local and national electrical codes. It is also important that the installation be done safely, correctly and completely to realize all the benefits that the W4B-120C can provide for your wind system. - Page 9 Never open the W4B-120C access cover unless both the wind turbine and battery power has been disconnected. • Never allow the Wind Turbine to be connected to the W4B-120C with the battery and Diversion load disconnected. This can be a dangerous condition with high voltage present at the terminals.

Each switch position must be confirmed during installation. A wrong setting could cause damage to the battery or other system components.

Page 13: 3- Front Cover Of W4B-120C Operation
USER MANUAL 3- Front Cover of W4B-120C Operation There are 4 LEDs, 1 LCD Meter and 2 pushbuttons on W4B-120C front cover. The details are described as follows: 3 .1 LED Status Indicators Four LED indicate operating status of the wind charger. When the wind charger works, the charge mode (green) LED will blink. -
Page 14: Equalization Mode Indication
“Charge Mode LED” Blinking Green: The wind charger is CHARGE CONTROL or DIVERSION CONTROL Mode and the battery is not fully charged. AS the battery voltage approaches the BULK setting, the status LED will blink green several times (up to five) and then pause, indicating the battery voltage is approaching the BULK setting and provides an indication of the battery condition. -
Page 15: Fault Mode Indication
USER MANUAL 3 .4 Fault Mode Indication Solid Red: The wind charger detects an over-current condition and the battery is disconnected. The wind charger will try to automatically restart the battery after a 10 second delay. If the wind charger will not restart, turn off all batteries and press the reset pushbutton. A delay up to five seconds may occur before the wind charger attempts to restart after pressing the reset pushbutton. - Page 16 3 .5 .1 LCD Displays Flow 3 .5 .2 Fault Messages The LCD displays might have the following fault messages when W4B-120C stops ope- rating. Refer to their description and causes listed as below in order to remove the faults.

Selecting the best method for charging your battery together with a good maintenance pro- gram will ensure a healthy battery and long service life. Although the W4B-120C’s battery charging is fully automatic, the following information is important to know for getting the best performance from your W4B-120C wind charger and battery. -
Page 18: Standard Battery Charging Programs
4 .2 Standard Battery Charging Programs The W4B-120C provides 8 standard battery charging algorithms (programs) that are selected with the DIP switches. These standard algorithms are suitable for lead-acid batteries ranging from sealed (gel, AGM, maintenance free) to flooded to L-16 cells and Ni-cad etc. -
Page 19: Diversion Charge Control
5 .1 Diversion Charge Control The W4B-120C will use PWM charging regulation to divert excess current to an external load. As the battery becomes fully charged, the FET switches are closed for longer periods of time to direct more current to the diversion load. -
Page 20: Standard Diversion Battery Charging Programs
5 .3 Standard Diversion Battery Charging Programs The SunStar provides 8 standard diversion charging algorithms (programs) that are selected with the DIP Switches. The table below summarizes the major parameters of the standard diversion battery charging algorithms. Note that all the voltages are for 12V systems (24V = 2X, 48V = 4X). All values are 25ºC (77ºF) . -

(wind, hydro, etc). The battery will continue charging and could be overcharged. If the diversion load is too large, it will draw more current than the rating of the W4B-120C. CAUTION: The diversion load must be able to absorb the full power output of the source, but the load must never exceed the current rating of the W4B-120C wind charger. -

Diversion load is too small so PWM reaches 99% • Diversion load is burned out so PWM reaches 99% • Diversion load is too large so W4B-120C faults on overcurrent • An overtemperature condition may have caused the load to be disconnected •... -
Page 24: Battery Information
7 Battery Information The standard battery charging programs in the W4B-120C charger, as described in Section 4.2, are typical charging algorithms for four battery types: • sealed (VRLA) • flooded (vented) • L-16 group • Nicad and NiFe CAUTION: Never attempt to charge a primary (non-rechargeable) battery. -
Page 25: Flooded Batteries
USER MANUAL For both AGM and Gel batteries, the goal is for 100% recombination of gasses so that no water is lost from the battery. True equalizations are never done, but a small boost charge may be needed to balance the individual cell voltages. Other Sealed Batteries: Automotive and “maintenance-free”... -
Page 26: Nicad And Nife Batteries
7 .4 Nicad and NiFe Batteries The W4B-120C is compatible with Nicad (nikel-cadmium), NiFe (nikel-iron) and alkaline type batteries which must be charged to a higher voltage level to achieve a full charge. When Nicad mode is selected, the equalization process is disabled. - Page 28 Polígono de Raos. P12.B3. 39600.
