The device may only be used inside the vehicle. 5 Technical description The SC1230-PWM solar charge controller enables mobile power supply from solar panels for 12 Vg/24 Vg devices and two USB devices. The devices can be simultaneously supplied with power while the 12 Vg /24 Vg battery is being charged. The solar charge controller ensures that the power supplied by your solar panels is at the right voltage to charge your home or auxiliary battery. The solar charge controller is PWM controlled. It is an intelligent 3 stage solar controller. 6 EN PS180SolarController-O-NZ.book Seite 7 Montag, 2. Oktober 2017 10:00 10 SC1230-PWM Technical description Solar charge controller The solar charge controller has the following functions: • PWM controlled • Three stage charging (Bulk, Boost/Equalize, Float) • Battery types selectable: Sealed, Gel, and Flooded • LCD display dynamically displaying operating data and working condition • Two USB output ports (maximum output 2.4 A) as power supply charge for electronic equipment The solar charge controller has the following protective functions: • Incorrect polarity protections for solar module and battery • Battery overvoltage protection • Battery overheating protection • Battery over-discharge protection • Load overload protection • Load short circuit protection • Controller overheating protection Battery temperature sensor (available as an accessory) The battery temperature sensor allows the solar charge controller to continuously adjust charge voltage based on measured battery temperature. Temperature compensation of charge voltage assures that the battery receives the proper charge voltage as battery temperature changes during normal operation.
