Introducing the C40
Introducing the C40
The C40 controller is the finest large-system
controller available. The C40 can be used with
12, 24, or 48-volt DC systems as a PV charge
controller, a DC diversion controller, or a DC
load controller (low voltage disconnect). These
capabilities make the C40 the only DC controller
you'll need! Numerous standard features are
provided to maximize the performance of the
system:
!
Silent, solid-state Pulse Width Modulated
(PWM) charging process with three-stage
control, temperature compensation, and
manual or automatic equalization.
Maximizes system performance and
increases battery life.
!
Meets National Electrical Code (NEC) and
other international controller specifications.
!
Certified by ETL for the U.S. (UL Standard
1741 (draft), and Canada (CSA-C22.2 No.
14-M91 SEP 91)
!
Electronic overload and short circuit
protection with automatic and manual reset
capability increases the reliability of
unattended systems by eliminating blown
fuses and tripped circuit breakers
!
Field adjustment of charge setpoints is
provided by rotary controls with removable
knobs, reducing the potential for setpoint
tampering. Calibrated scales and test points
allow precise adjustments of settings
!
Optional external battery temperature compensation sensor (BTS) for automatic
adjustment of charge setpoints (required by UL draft standard 1741 and strongly
recommended for sealed batteries)
!
Over-temperature protection of the electronic circuitry (by reducing the charge rate)
improves the reliability of the C40 when used in environments over 113 F / 45 C.
!
Indoor-type, powder-coated enclosure for wall mounting
!
Multi-color status LED with matching color label for mode/status indication
!
Optional LCD meter for remote or direct mounting on the C40. May be mounted up to
1000 feet away
!
2 year limited warranty
