Charge Controllers

A Controller for Virtually any DC Charging Source
The C40 has long been the mainstay of our charge controller line-up,
its versatility and reliability have made it an industry standard. Now
the C40 is joined by two companion controllers, the C35 and C60. All three
of these fully solid state, microprocessor-driven controllers are UL and
cUL listed. C Series controllers may be configured for PV battery charging,
or DC load control or DC diversion operation. Whatever the charging source,
a C Series controller is sure to meet your DC controller needs.
Standard Features
Silent Microprocessor Control
All C Series controllers (C35, C40 & C60) have a powerful microprocessor
at their core which increases system performance and maximizes battery
life. They are fully solid state and operate silently.
PWM Charge Performance
C Series controllers (C35, C40 & C60) all use Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) charging profiles which are designed to provide a full charge to
your battery while, at the same time, minimize gassing which can shorten
battery life.
3-Stage Battery Charging
All C Series controllers (C35, C40 & C60) automatically initiate
a 3-stage battery charging cycle. Bulk, Absorption, and Float modes are
used to ensure that voltage and current settings accurately match the
batteries' actual state of charge. This means fast-as-possible charging
and extended battery life. An auto equalize mode can be easily switched
off when the controller is used with sealed batteries. C Series controllers
are factory set for solar PV battery charging operation.
Field Adjustable
There are a number of field configurable, user adjustments for C Series
controllers. C35 and C60's can only be set for 12 or 24 VDC operation.
The C40 may be configured for 12, 24 or 48 volt systems. Bulk and Float
voltage set points are user adjustable which allows use with a wide variety
of battery technologies including; flooded lead acid, gel, and absorbed
glass mat. In addition, there are manually selectable settings for Nicad
batteries.
DC Load Controller Mode
When used as a load controller, the C Series (C40) will automatically
turn a DC load on or off at predetermined battery voltage settings. Both
LVD (low voltage disconnect) and LVR (low voltage reconnect) set points
are user adjustable.
DC Diversion Mode
In this mode, all power, which is not used to maintain a full charge
on the batteries, is diverted to a load dump such as water or space heaters.
Diversion mode is used to regulate microhydro and wind turbine systems
which need a constant load.
LED Status Indicator
A simple to read, multi-color LED indicates operating status and is
standard on all C Series controllers (C35, C40 & C60).
UL and cUL Listed
C Series controllers are listed by UL to exacting UL 1741 and cUL
CSA 22.2 107.1-95 standards. C Series controllers (C35, C40 & C60)
are also CE compliant (European countries) and are designed to CTIK standards
(Australia). Their current ratings are "real world" and do not
have to be derated to comply with USA NEC 125% overcurrent requirements.
LCD
Digital Display (Optional)
CM,
CMR/50,
CMR/100-A back-lit meter which continuously displays:
battery voltage, DC amperage, cumulative amp hours and amp hours since
last reset. CM mounts on front of C Series, C35, C40 and C60, charge controllers.
The remote meters CMR/50 and CMR/100 use simple telephone type plug-in
connectors. 50 ft. (15 m) or 100 ft. (30 m) cable included. If used with
a wind turbine, this will only measure voltage.
Warranty
Two years workmanship and materials.
