Hi all not sure how to wire up this reg up to the wind gen & battery, looks like L1 to L4 are for the dump load , not sure where the input from the wind gen goes. And the output to the battery goes. Anybody got any ideas?? Oatley have now changed this regulator. But hopefully will get this to work.

G'day AJ,
I've got a couple of these. Work well.

Here you go. Hope a picture explains all.

AJ yes L1-4 are imputs to the mosfet's to switch the negative of the dump loads, the positive of the dump loads is connect to your batteries.
The two straight lines you drew are positive (top) and negative (lower), a good size cable to battery negative from at least one of these is required as it will carry all the current switched by the 4 mosfets.

Your wind generator goes direct to the batteries, this regulator draws power from the batteries to keep their voltage within limits.

The positive and negative supply for the fan is via the terminal block mid top, which I'm sure you already know.

Do you not have the two sheets that accompanied the regulator.

With regard to magic smoke escaping, I suspect heatsinking is underestimated with this unit, seperate heatsink is the go.
