C12 - Xantrex C-Series Solar Charge Controller - 12 Amps

C-Series Solar Charge Controller - 12 Amps

PV charge, lighting and load controller

The C12 charge, lighting, or load controller is uniquely sophisticated. As a charge controller, it features three-stage charging, user definable voltage parameters, and automatic equalization.

Standard in the C12’s load control circuitry are field adjustable low voltage disconnect and reconnect points, along with a five minute low battery disconnect signal. The C12 also functions as a lighting controller.

Lighting run time is adjustable from two to eight hours or can be set from dusk to dawn operation. It is used worldwide in a variety of applications, including remote village lighting systems and automatic outdoor lighting. An optional battery temperature sensor manages battery charging based on battery temperature.

Features:

• Improve battery life with pulse width modulated (PWM) multi-stage temperature compensated charging
  • Two-year standard warranty
  • PV charge and load controller
  • Automatic lighting controller
  • Electronic detection of short-circuit, overload, over-temperature and reverse polarity conditions
  • Tolerance to hostile environments with conformal-coated boards and powder-coated enclosure
  • Field adjustable voltage and battery set point
  • Automatically disconnects from the battery at night
  • Compatible with negative ground and ungrounded systems
