- Field adjustable voltage and battery set points
- Electronic protection against short-circuit, overload, over temperature and reverse polarity conditions.
The Xantrex C-35, C40 and C-60 PWM (pulse width modulated) controllers can be used as photovoltaic charge controllers, DC load controls or DC diversion regulators in 12, 24 and 48 volt systems. They operate in only one mode at at time so to provide both PV charge control and low battery load disconnect, two controls must be used together. As DC load controls they disconnect the load at a user settable low voltage and reconnect at the low voltage reconnect point. As diversion controllers they send excess power to a "dummy load", such as a water or space heater, to regulate hydroelectric or wind generators. All of the Xantrex controllers, when used as a charge control, have field-adjustable bulk and float setpoints and perform automatic equalization every 30 days or whenever LVD is reached. Equalization can be initiated automatically or manually. Order the optional battery temperature sensor for more accurate battery charge control. The optional LCD digital display shows battery voltage, array amps and watts, cumulative amp-hours and a separately resettable "trip" amp-hour measurement. The digital display is available for mounting on the front of the charge control, or with a 50 or 100 foot cable for remote mounting in a double-gang electrical box.
