BlueSolar PWM Charge Controller-LCD&USB 12/24V-5A

Description

Max 60Wp Solar Panel for a 12V Battery System or Max 120Wp Solar Panel for 24V Battery System.

• Liquid Crystal Display – For status monitoring and set-up
• Two 5 Volt USB outputs
• Lighting control function, fully programmable
• Three stage battery charging (bulk, absorption, float), fully programmable
• Load output with low voltage and manual disconnect (programmable)
• Load output protected against over load and short circuit
• Protected against reverse polarity connection of the solar panels and/or battery

Load output
Over-discharge of the battery can be prevented by connecting all loads to the load output. The load output will disconnect the load when the battery has been discharged to a pre-set voltage. Some loads (especially inverters) can best be connected directly to the battery, and the inverter remote control connected to the load output. A special interface cable may be needed, please see the manual. The connect and disconnect voltages are adjustable.

Day/night timing of the load output
This option allows for a pre-set ON-time after dusk.

Programmable battery charge algorithm
Preprogrammed algorithms for AGM, GEL, Flooded or LiFePO4 batteries (with internal BMS only)

Two 5 Volt USB outputs
Maximum current (both outputs combined): 2A

ENCLOSURE
Protection class: IP20
Terminal size: 6 mm² / AWG10
Weight 0,15kg
Dimensions (h x w x d) 96 x 169 x 36 mm, (3.8 x 6.7 x 1.4 inch)

STANDARDS
Safety EN60335-1, IEC 62109-1
EMC EN 61000-6-1, EN 61000-6-3, ISO 7637-2

1) For 12V use 36 cell solar panels
For 24V use 72 cell solar panels or 2x 36 cell in series
For 48V use 2x 72 cell solar panels or 4x 36 cell in series
2) The controller switches to the lower float voltage level 2 hours after the absorption voltage has been reached.
Whenever the battery voltage becomes lower than 13V, a new charge cycle is triggered.
