SW-IL6 Charge Regulator


The SW-IL6 battery charge regulator is designed for 12-volt PV systems rated up to 100 watts. This small regulator package fits into the junction box of most solar modules. The waterproof assembly is encapsulated within a black ABS plastic shell with 4” lead wires. A pressure sensitive adhesive strip is supplied for mounting.

Designed to mount in the module junction box, the output cable from the charge regulator should be a minimum of #14 AWG up to 15 feet. For a greater distance see the Wiring Reference Guide on page 78. Can also be installed on the battery. Features transient surge protection, Multi-function green LED indicator, reverse polarity protection, operating temperature: -35ºC to + 75ºC, temperature compensation, dual comparator - PWM charging algorithm, self-consumption 4 ma., fixed 14.2 VDC.

One-year warranty.

Steca Controller

The SunWize-Steca controller uses an advanced control algorithm that sets new standards for solar charge technology. The state-of-charge algorithm combines battery temperature, battery voltage, and load discharge rate to determine the true battery SOC. The controller’s memory of discharge patterns enables the controller to know the degree of battery sulfation. This allows even greater accuracy towards determining true battery SOC. The self-learning controller automatically adjusts for the capacity and age of the battery. The resultant battery SOC is displayed within a 10% accuracy range. The patented hybrid regulator design combines both series and shunt technology for nominal power consumption. Maximum wire gauge for terminal: 4 AWG.

The Tarom features adjustable set points that are stored in the controller's memory. Available Tarom options are an external data logger, external shunts for measuring current and a remote temperature sensor. Other options include control modules that load shed or PV shed based on the battery SOC that is communicated with the controller over a DC databus.

Two-year warranty.

Options:

  •  LCD display

  • Audible buzzer fault condition warning alarm (not available with the LCD display)

  • Opto-isolated fault condition warning alarm that can be connected to any analog input monitoring device (not available with the LCD display)

    •
Other Features Include:

  • TUV and UL recognized component

  • Automatically adjusts for 12 V or 24 V system

  • Automatic battery equalization can be disabled when using gel or AGM type lead-acid batteries

  • Protection against over temperature, battery overvoltage, module overcurrent, and load overcurrent

  •  Low voltage disconnect and a low voltage warning
  • Tricolor information LED and tricolor “SOC” LED annunciating controller status, errors, and battery SOC
  • IP 22 (NEMA 12) protection
  • Operating temperature range is -25° C to +50° C

  • Manual setting to override the SOC algorithm to allow SOC to be determined by temperature compensated voltage levels. This is useful when other loads are connected directly to the battery.

Solsum Controller

The SunWize-Steca Solsum Controller is an economical pulse-width modulated shunt controller designed for small and mid-sized systems. Using the most up-to-date and innovative technology, the Solsum controllers fulfill the task of overcharge and over discharge protection.

The overcharge protection operates as a pulse-width-modulated shunt controller and guarantees faster charging of the battery. A tri-color LED indicates three ranges of battery voltage and a green LED indicates array current. These controllers include temperature compensated charging, MOSFET transistors and fuse protection. Solsum Controllers, certified for World Bank projects, ensure maintenance-free operation and long product life.

One-year warranty.
