2. PRESENTATION
The Hybrid Boost Charge Controller is a combined wind and solar charge regulator with an inbuilt
micro-controller. The Hybrid Boost Charge Controller enables you to install the Silentwind generator
and solar panels to a maximum power of 300 Watt (peak), that are connected to the deep cycle output
can be automatically switched OFF or ON by a deep cycle protection function.
All operation parameters can be seen on an LCD-display or on a tablet or smartphone over the wireless
connection (Bluetooth). You can set all operating parameters directly on the Hybrid Boost Charge
Controller or over the Silentwind APP available for Android and iOS devices.
The Silentwind generator is a 3 phase AC voltage and in the Hybrid Boost Charge Controller AC is
transformed to DC voltage. The voltage of the Silentwind generator and the Hybrid Boost Charge
Controller must be chosen in accordance with the system voltage.
All types of batteries (Gel, AGM, Acid an Lithium) can be charged.
The Hybrid Boost Charge Controller features:
Solar and Wind - Hybrid charge controller.
Full MPPT point adjustable.
Integrated electronic brake –charge limitation and storm brake.
LCD-display of all relevant working data: W, A, V, Ah.
Seven models of load output settings (not available on 48V version).
Cable connections - screw terminals.
Wireless communication
External wireless antenna for a wider wireless range

4. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Our primary concern when we developed the Hybrid Boost Charge Controller was your safety. The
information provided is to ensure your safety during installation, operation, and in case of trouble.
Avoid using the Hybrid Boost Charge Controller in direct sunlight, sun exposure, rain, humidity,
acid fog and dust.
Do not use the Hybrid Boost Charge Controller in a place where has flammability and explosive
gas/articles. Beware of flames and sparks.
If you have any additional questions please contact us.
Please keep in mind that liquid acid batteries can emit dangerous explosive gas. If the
place where the Hybrid Boost Charge Controller is installed is close to this kind of
batteries, unsure that has efficient ventilation.
WHEN WORKING IN THE SYSTEM:
1st Disconnect the Silentwind generator (to avoid risks, once you remove the 3 wires
from the generator, please put at least 2 wires from the generator together to cause
a short circuit and slow down the rotation of the blades).
2nd Disconnect the solar panels if available.
3rd Disconnect Battery. This is very important. Otherwise the Hybrid Boost Charge
Controller will be damaged.

MPPT Charge Controller User Manual - Feb. 2019 14
5. INSTALLATIONS
Before installation the Hybrid Boost Charge Controller,find a suitable position indoor to avoid water
entering the controller. The Hybrid Boost Charge Controller must be installed in a place with good
ventilation and heat dissipation.
Plan your installation carefully.
Follow the correct assembly sequence:
1st Charge controller to battery connections
2nd Solar Panels to the charge controller
3rd Wind generator to the charge controller
5.1 PACKAGE
The package includes:
1 unit - Charge controller
1 unit - External Sensor cable
1 unit –External antenna
5.2 RECOMMENDATIONS
Make sure all wires are placed in the correct position or it will damage the charge
controller.
The three AC cables need to have the same cross section and the correct mm²/AWG.
A damaged cable is a severe safety risk. Wires with inadequate cross section can cause fire.
Make sure the electrical connections (crimping) are done 100%.
Any voltage drops can influence the control of brake functions.
Use tinned copper cables for marine installations.
When connecting the Hybrid Boost Charge Controller to the battery, sparks can occur.
A short circuit is to be avoided.
Always ensure enough ventilation in battery location.
5.3 REQUIRED TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
Cable with the required length and diameter to connect the three AC phases from the
Silentwind generator to the Hybrid Boost Charge Controller.
Connectors for the three-phase cables to connect to the wind generator.
Red and black cable to connect the Hybrid Boost Charge Controller to the battery.
Joint connector for battery cable.
Fuse.
The proper cable sections are listed in the following chapter.

MPPT Charge Controller User Manual - Feb. 2019 15
5.4 CABLES AND FUSES
The required cross section of the wires depends on their length and the rated voltage of your system.
Select the location of the mast and measure the distance from the mast top to the battery. Select the
minimum cross section required in the basis of the following tables. The three AC cables need to have
the same cross section.

For protection against high voltage spikes and/or an accidental short-circuit event, fuses must be
installed in the positive (red) wires to the battery. The required value of the fuse depends on the rated
current of the Silentwind generator and solar panels connected to the Hybrid Boost Charge Controller.
We recommend:
Silentwind generator
Max Current (A)
(Silentwind generator + Solar Panel)
Fuse (A)
12V
40 + 20
50 + 25
24V
20 + 10

5.5 PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
The Hybrid Boost Charge Controller should be installed in a wall using four screws with the panel
upright (if you can read the front panel text horizontally then this is correct).
The side panels and back are a heat sink to dissipate heat, which is why the orientation is important.
To guarantee the lifespan, it is suggested that the space around the device has no other items within
30cm.
1st Drill Size
2nd Fix the controller on the wall with M4 screw
3rd When fix the screw, try to shift the screw driver about 10angle

MPPT Charge Controller User Manual - Feb. 2019 17
5.6 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Making an extension of the 3 cables AC, using a crimp
connector insulated will be necessary since the
Silentwind generator will be fixed in the mast and the
Hybrid Boost Charge Controller will not be fixed in the
same place.
If there is enough wind speed when
connecting Silentwind generator, this will
immediately generate electric power at
the end of the 3 AC-wires without being
connected to the Hybrid Boost Charge
Controller. Therefore, we recommend blocking the
Silentwind generator blades with a rope before
connecting the wires to the Hybrid Boost Charge
Controller
Install a fuse between the Hybrid Boost Charge Controller and the battery positive pole as
close as possible to the battery.
It is most important that you first connect the Hybrid Boost Charge Controller to the
battery with the right polarity. The confusion of plus (red) and minus (black) will
definitely destroy your Hybrid Boost Charge Controller.
After the connection of the battery you can connect the solar panel, the Silentwind generator and if
required, a Load Output with 10A maximum on Output 1 and 10A on Output2 with 10A maximum.

MPPT Charge Controller User Manual - Feb. 2019 18
5.6.1 SOLAR PANELS
Connect the terminals of solar panels to “SOLAR INPUT” terminals “+” and “-“on the Hybrid Boost
Charge Controller.
All Solar panels rated voltages on this chapter are open circuit voltages (Voc).
Check your solar panels datasheets for detailed information.
Do not exceed your charge controller’s maximum wattage, voltage and amperage.
