The C12 has a LED status light displaying both charging functions and battery charge state at a glance. This controller is used worldwide in a variety of applications.

12 Amp 3-stage Solar Charge, DC Load and Auto Lighting Controller

The C12 charge, lighting, or load controller is uniquely sophisticated. As a charge controller, it features three-stage charging, user definable voltage parameters, and automatic equalization. Standard in the C12’s load control circuitry are field adjustable low voltage disconnect and reconnect points, along with a five minute low battery disconnect warning. The C12 also functions as a lighting controller. Lighting run time is adjustable from 2 to 8 hours or can be set from dusk to dawn operation. It is used worldwide in a variety of applications, including remote village lighting systems and automatic outdoor lighting in Africa, Latin America, and Asia. An optional battery temperature sensor ensures precise battery charging regardless of battery temperature fluctuations.

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.

The C Series, including the C35, C40 and C60, is the benchmark of our charge controller lineup. The C35 and C60 are field configurable for 12 and 24 VDC operation. The C40 may be configured for 12, 24, or 48 VDC operation. All can be used as a charge, diversion, or load controller and come with a standard multi-color charge status LED.

All three of these fully solid state, microprocessor-driven controllers are UL and cUL listed. Whatever the charging source, a C Series controller is sure to meet your DC controller needs.

Product Features

• Ensures your batteries are always charged
• Silent, pulse width modulated microprocessor control (maximizing battery life)
• Field adjustable voltage and battery set points
• Electronic protection against short-circuit, overload, over temperature and reverse polarity conditions.

Features

• The C Series offers three models, the C35, C40, and C60, that can handle 35,40, and 60 amps of DC current.
• Silent, pulse width modulated (PWM), high efficiency operation.

 
• Three-stage battery charging (bulk, absorption, and float).
• Automatic overload protection in both active and passive modes.
• PV array short circuit and reverse polarity protection.
• Durable construction.
• Backed by a two year warranty.
• Microprocessor controlled.

As a Solar Charge Controller

• When used as a solar charge controller, the C40 can control 12, 24, or 48 VDC array operation and the C35 and C60 can control 12 and 24 VDC array operation.
• All units offer selectable settings for NiCad, flooded lead acid, gel, or absorbed glass mat batteries.

As a DC load controller

• As a DC load controller, the C Series has a low voltage disconnect warning system and field adjustable set points that govern automatic low and high voltage disconnect.
• Manual reset switch for emergency low voltage operation.

As a Diversion Load Controller

• The C Series automatically directs extra power to a dedicated load such as an electric water heater and ensures batteries are never over-charged.

Optional Accessories:

• CM: Cumulative amp hour meter that can be installed on the face of the controller
• CM/R: Remote cumulative amp hour meter (available in 50 or 100 foot lengths)
• BTS: Battery Temperature Sensor. A plug-in remote unit for increased charging precision.
