C SERIES

A charge controller is an important system component that regulates the voltage generated from your renewable energy system and properly maintains your batteries. It protects your batteries from being over and under charged, and ensures maximum battery life. The C Series offers four models: the C12, C35, C40, and C60, designed for 12, 35, 40, and 60 amps of DC current. Considered to be the best in the industry, Xantrex Charge Controllers offer a variety of features.
Features
- Silent, pulse width modulated (PWM), high efficiency operation
- Three-stage battery charging (bulk, absorption, and float) with optional temperature compensation
- Automatic overload protection in both active and passive modes
- PV array short-circuit and reverse polarity protection
- Durable construction
- Microprocessor controlled
As a Solar Charge Controller
- When used as a solar charge controller, the C40 can control 12, 24, or 48 Vdc array operation; the C35 and C60 can control 12 and 24 Vdc array operation anc C12 can control 12 Vdc array operation.
- All units offer selectable settings for NiCad, flooded lead acid, gel, or absorbed glass mat batteries
As a DC Load Controller
- As a DC load controller, the C Series has a low voltage disconnect warning indicator and field adjustable set points that govern automatic low and high voltage disconnect
- Manual reset switch for emergency low voltage operation
As a Diversion Controller
- The C Series automatically directs extra power to a dedicated load, such as an electric water heater, and ensures batteries are never over charged
Options
- Plug-in battery temperature sensor for increased charging precision
- Cumulative amp-hour meter (CM) that can be installed remotely (CM/R), up to 100 feet (30 m) away.
