Charge controller for marine off-grid installations where safe and efficient charging of two separate battery banks is required. It is ideal for boats with a starter battery and a house battery, ensuring correct prioritization and stable operation under varying energy production.

The controller uses microcontroller-controlled charging technology with multi-stage bulk and float charging. When the batteries are fully charged, the wind generator is automatically braked, protecting both the batteries and connected electronics. Temperature compensation adjusts the charging profile for optimal performance in changing conditions.

The unit is compatible with Rutland wind generators and can also receive input from solar panels up to 160 W. Automatic voltage detection makes it suitable for both 12 V and 24 V systems without manual adjustment. Two independent battery banks are monitored and charged intelligently.

The built-in LCD display provides a clear overview of voltage, current and generated power. Backlighting is activated via push button, and a manual stop switch makes installation and servicing safe and simple. An external temperature sensor and the option for a remote display increase flexibility on board.

INSTRUCTIONS Mount the controller vertically on a dry, ventilated surface close to the batteries. Connect the batteries first for correct voltage selection. Then connect the wind generator and solar panels with the correct polarity. Use the stop switch during installation and maintenance.
