XANTREX C-35, C-40, C-60 PWM

The Xantrex C-35, C-40, and C-60 PWM (pulse width modulator) controllers can be used as PV charge controllers, DC load controllers or DC diversion regulators in 12-, 24- and 48-volt systems (only the C-40 can be used in 48-volt systems). They operate in only one mode at a time, so two controllers must be used to provide both PV charge controller and low battery load disconnect. As DC load controllers they disconnect the load at a user-settable low voltage and reconnect at a higher voltage reconnect point. As diversion controllers they send excess power to a "dummy load" (such as a water or space heater) to regulate hydroelectric or wind generators. When used in diversion mode, derate the amperage by 25%. All Xantrex controllers, when
used as a charge controller, have field-adjustable bulk and float set points and perform
automatic equalization every 30 days or whenever LVD is reached. Equalization can be
manually initiated with automatic shut-off. Order the optional temperature sensor for a
more accurate battery charge controller. The optional LCD digital display shows battery
voltage, array amps and watts, cumulative amp-hours and a separately resettable "trip"
amp-hour measurement. The digital display is available for mounting on the front of the
charge controller, or with a 50- or 100-foot cable for remote mounting in a double-gang
electrical box. UL Listed. 2-year warranty.
