Product Description



This 60A 12V / 24V /36V /48V solar charge controller offers advanced monitoring of the charging process anda wide selection ofload programming features, whilst providing full protectionfor your battery bank. This user-friendly controller also boasts an LCD display and convenient dual USB output for fast charging of USB-compatible devices.

The controller uses PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology which has the ability to increase charge acceptanceand extend the lifespan of the battery. PWM technology can also recover some lost battery capacity.

Full system protection:

This charge controller features a full range of electronic safety functions including protection against reverse current at night (from the battery back to the solar panel) andautomatic cut-off to prevent over-charging, deep discharge, overheating, overload, short circuit and reverse polarity (of the solar panels and batteries).

Advanced programming and monitoring features:

This model features an LCD display with multilevel menu operation and auser-friendly interface withtwo multifunctional buttons. The screen displays information regardingreal time solar panel and batteryperformance,including: voltage, current, battery state of charge, and battery temperature. An energystatistics counteralso displaysthe accumulated daily and monthly charge values(useful for comparing solar panel performancebetween different periods).

An optional 12V load (e.g. 12V lighting / fans) may also be connected directly to the solar charge controller, with various settings for night time lighting applications.

In addition, this controller also offers various charging programsfor different battery types, which can be easily selected by the user.

Rapid USB charging:

This solar charge controller also offers the rare and highly sought-after feature of a dual USB charging output. These 5V USB ports havea total combined output of 2.4A, offering fast and powerful charging of USB compatible devices such as mobile phones, tablets, mp3 players etc.

Additional features:

In addition to the inbuilt temperature sensor, the controller has a pair of terminals for connecting a remote temperature sensor(sold separately), which can be attached directly to the battery to obtain a more precise temperature measurement and optimise the charging process.

Compatibility:

This controller is suitable for solar panels with a combined power of up to 960W (12V batteries) / 1920W (24V batteries) / 2880W (36V batteries) / 3840W (48V batteries). The wide solar input voltage range of up to 96V ensures that even on-grid solar modules with a voltage higher than 12V / 24V / 36V / 48V can be used (please note that this controlleris most efficientwhen the maximum solar panel voltage is just marginally higher than the battery voltage, e.g. 17V-18V solar panels will be best for charging 12V batteries).

This solar charge controller is designed for use with a sealed (default), gelor flooded battery/ battery bankwith a voltage of12V, 24V, 36V or 48V. The controller will automatically determine the appropriate working mode.
