The Trace C40 can be used as a PV charge control, DC load control or DC diversion regulator in 12, 24, and 48 volt systems. They operate in only one mode at a time. To provide both PV charge control and low battery load disconnect, two controls must be used. Order the temperature sensor for accurate battery charge control. As a charge control they have field adjustable bulk and float set points and perform automatic equalization every 30 days. As a DC load control they disconnect the load at a user settable low voltage and reconnect at the low voltage reconnect point. As a diversion controller they send excess power to a "dummy pad" such as a water or space heater to regulate hydroelectric or wind generators. The optional LCD Digital Display shows battery voltage, array amps and watts, cumulative amp-hours and a separately re-settable "trip" amp-hour measurement. The digital display is available for mounting on the front of the charge control, or with a 50 to 100 foot cable for remote mounting in a double-gang electrical box. |
