TriStar Charge Controllers The
TriStar pulse width modulated (PWM) controller can operate as a
solar charge control, a load control, or a diversion regulator
in 12, 24 or 48 volt systems. It can operate in only one
of these modes at a time, but two or more controllers can be
used to provide multiple functions. PWM operation may be
changed to on/off operation to prevent telecom noise. Two
models are available with UL current ratings of 45 and 60
amps. A choice of 7 different set points are easily selectable
with DIP switches. An RS-232 communications enables PC
connection to adjust control set points and data logging.
An optional digital display may be mounted on the front of the
controller or up to 100 feet away using 4-conductor phone cable
with RJ-11 jacks. Battery temperature compensation may be
added with the optional temperature sensor. Knock-outs on
the bottom of the charge control match knock-out spacing on the
Xantrex DC-175/250 disconnect and the Outback PS2DC and PS4DC
power system components, allowing easy mounting on either. Dimensions:
10.25"H x 5"W x 2.8"D, weight is 3.5 lbs.
5-year warranty. UL Listed
 Morningstar
ProStar Charge Controllers Recently
revised, this sophisticated line of PV charge controls
incorporates constant voltage PWM to make maximum use of
valuable PV power. They have automatic equalization,
temperature compensation and very high efficiency. Can be
used on 12, 24 and 48 volt systems with sealed, gel and wet-cell
lead-acid batteries. Front panel LED's indicate when the
batteries are being charged and relative battery
state-of-charge. Reverse polarity protection on input and
output. In the event of a load short circuit, the load is
automatically disconnected. "M" models include
LCD meter of battery voltage. PV charging current, and
load current. LVD is current-compensated to prevent false
disconnect when the battery is heavily loaded. Units are
conformal coated to guard against corrosion. Dimensions:
6.01"x4.14" x 2.2".

SunSaver Charge Controls The
SunSaver is a very reliable charge controller and uses the same
battery charging algorithm as the ProStar and offers many of the
advantages of the ProStar for smaller systems, at a reduced
cost. Constant voltage pulse with modulations (PWM)
charging is a proven advance compared to the common on/off PV
regulators. SunSavers are field-selectable for sealed or
flooded batteries. A rugged anodized aluminum case and
epoxy encapsulated electronics ensure durability and
longevity. A temperature compensation sensor in the charge
control varies full charge voltage with temperature. They
have LED charging and load control indicators in LVD models. Dimensions:
6" x 2.2" x 1.3"
5-year warranty
 Morning
SunLight Charge Control with Lighting Control The
SunLight has all of the features of the SunSaver control.
It also has a rotary switch that allows it to turn on the loads
after dusk for 2, 4, 5, 8, or 10 hours. It also has the
option to turn loads on at dusk, off and on again before
dawn. In this configuration, you can choose the following
settings (in hours): 3/off/1, 4/off/2, or 6/off/2. On from
dusk to dawn is also possible. A test button turns light
on for five minutes. Dimensions:
6.6" x 2.2" x 1.3"
5-year warranty
 Morningstar
SunGuard Charge Control The
SunGuard uses the same charging circuit as the SunSaver.
It is ideal where a 12-volt low-power control is needed.
It can control up to 75 watts of PV module(s). Since it is
epoxy encapsulated, it can be used outdoors in a harsh
environment. Dimensions:
2.5" x 2" x 1.6" with wire leads for connecting
module and battery
