Hybrid Charge Controller
1. Security
IMPORTANT: To prevent bodily injury or property damage, please follow these instructions precisely.
With personal safety as a primary focus in design, this charge controller has been engineered to function
properly and efficiently.
1. Professional installation and guidance is always recommended. Otherwise, please contact your
authorized PowerMax+ agent before installation.
2. Keep the charge controller dry. Do not clean with a wet or damp cloth. This is an electric device
and cannot get wet at all. Prevent any spills on or near the controller.
3. Keep all children and any person with limited understanding and/or decreased mental capacity
away from the controller.
4. Keep the controller away from direct sunlight or any other heat source.
5. Please check the rated voltages of your wind turbine, solar panel and battery before connection.
Their rated voltages all should be the same.
6. Pay close attention to the connection of your wind turbine, solar panels and batteries to make sure
positive goes to positive and negative goes to negative.
7. Smaller gauge wires should not be used with higher current equipment.
8. Ensure that all component connections are tight and secure.
9. DO NOT TOUCH any bare parts on the controller. The high voltage can cause lethal shock.
2. General Description
Your PowerMax+ wind/solar hybrid controller is designed to control the wind power charging battery
under constant voltage. In addition, it includes a solar charging control, which makes it good for
wind/solar hybrid application.
At the right side of the controller, there is a manual brake switch. If the switch is turned to the 'brake'
position, the wind turbine will be manually stopped.
3. Connection
1. Turn the 'manual brake' to the 'BRAKE' position, and then connect the output of the wind
generator to the 'WIND INPUT' terminals using 10mm
2. If applicable, connect the output of your solar panel to the 'SOLAR INPUT' terminals on the
PowerMax+ controller. Positive to positive, negative to negative.

3. Using 10mm
the controller and connect the battery's negative pole to the negative (-) 'battery' terminal on the
controller. The length of the cables should be no longer than three (3) feet. Tighten the nut on each
'battery' terminal by hand. Do not over tighten.
4. Turn the 'manual brake' to the 'RUN' position.
