C40A Controller for Virtually any DC Charging Source
The
C40 has long been the mainstay of our charge controller line-up, its
versatility and reliability have made it an industry standard. Now the C40
is joined by two companion controllers, the C35 and C60. All three of
these fully solid state, microprocessor-driven controllers are UL and cUL
listed. C Series controllers may be configured for PV battery charging, or
DC load control or DC diversion operation. Whatever the charging source, a
C Series controller is sure to meet your DC controller needs.

Standard Features
Silent Microprocessor Control
All
C Series controllers have a powerful microprocessor at their core which
increases system performance and maximizes battery life. They are fully
solid state and operate silently.
PWM Charge Performance
C
Series controllers all use Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) charging profiles
which are designed to provide a full charge to your battery while, at the
same time, minimize gassing which can shorten battery life.
3-Stage Battery Charging
All
C Series controllers automatically initiate a 3-stage battery charging
cycle. Bulk, Absorption, and Float modes are used to ensure that voltage
and current settings accurately match the batteries' actual state of
charge. This means fast-as-possible charging and extended battery life. An
auto equalize mode can be easily switched off when the controller is used
with sealed batteries. C Series controllers are factory set for solar PV
battery charging operation.
C Series Controller
Field Adjustable
There are a number of field configurable, user adjustments for C Series
controllers. C35 and C60's can only be set for 12 or 24 VDC operation. The
C40 may be configured for 12, 24 or 48 volt systems. Bulk and Float
voltage set points are user adjustable which allows use with a wide
variety of battery technologies including; flooded lead acid, gel, and
absorbed glass mat. In addition, there are manually selectable settings
for Nicad batteries.
DC Load Controller Mode
When
used as a load controller, the C Series will automatically turn a DC load
on or off at predetermined battery voltage settings. Both LVD (low voltage
disconnect) and LVR (low voltage reconnect) set points are user
adjustable.
DC Diversion Mode
In
this mode, all power, which is not used to maintain a full charge on the
batteries, is diverted to a "load dump" such as water or space heaters.
Diversion mode is used to regulate microhydro and wind turbine systems
which need a constant load.
LED Status Indicator
A
simple to read, multi-color LED indicates operating status and is standard
on all C Series controllers.
UL and cUL Listed
C
Series controllers are listed by UL to exacting UL 1741 and cUL CSA 22.2
107.1-95 standards. C Series controllers are also CE compliant (European
countries) and are designed to CTIK standards (Australia). Their current
ratings are "real world" and do not have to be derated to comply with USA
NEC 125% overcurrent requirements.
Optional Features
LCD
Digital Display
CM,
CMR/25, CMR/50 or CMR/100-A back-lit meter which continuously displays:
battery voltage, DC amperage, cumulative amp hours and amp hours since
last reset. CM mounts on front of the controller. The remote meters
CMR/25, CMR/50 and CMR/100 use simple plug-in connectors.
25
ft. (7.5 m), 50 ft. (15 m) or 100 ft.
(30
m) cable included.
Temperature Compensation
BTS/15 or BTS/35-Monitors battery temperature and adjusts charging voltage
for maximum performance. A 15 ft. (4.5 m) or 35 ft. (11 m) cable with
standard telephone type connectors is included.
