These are simple controllers which mount directly to the solar module junction box and eliminate the need for additional controller housing. Fully encapsulated and IP65 outdoor rated, they are approved for hazardous locations and high temperatures (up to 70°C). Connection is via flying leads. Use with sealed or vented batteries is field selectable. 12V. Bi-colour LED indicates charging, operation & faults.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• High Reliability

Rated to 70°C to operate in high temperatures at the solar module.

More reliable than controllers mounted inside the junction box.

Uses very low on-resistance power MOSFET’s. No need to re-rate.

• Outdoor Rated

ETL approved for outdoor use without an additional enclosure.

Rugged IP65, UV resistant case. Epoxy encapsulated printed circuit board and watertight connection to the module junction box.

• Extensive Electronic Protections

Fully protected against reverse polarity, short circuit, overcurrent,  lightning and transient surges, high temperature and reverse current at night.

• Longer Battery Life

Series PWM with 3 stage charging: bulk, PWM regulation and float. Includes temperature compensation at the controller or alternatively at the battery when using optional remote temperature sensor.  Able to charge a zero voltage battery.

• Rated for Hazardous Locations

Specifically designed for solar power systems in the oil/gas industry.

Approved for use in Class 1, Division 2, Groups A-D.

• More Information

Bi-color LED is easy to read from the ground when the solar module is pole-mounted. Indicates solar charging, regulation, normal night-time operation and any controller or system faults.

• Easy to Install

Fits standard half inch conduit knockout (PG 13.5, M20) in module junction box. Quickly fastens with included locknut. Wires have fork connectors for easy connection to solar module terminals.
