- Rated power: 600W at 12V; 1,200W at 24V
- Charging method: three-stage PWM charging with boost, float, and equalization stages
- Maximum solar input voltage: less than 55V; maximum battery voltage: less than 34V
- Temperature compensation: -3.0 mV/°C/2V; excludes lithium batteries
- No-load loss: less than 13mA at 12V and less than 15mA at 24V
- Operating temperature: -13°F to +131°F (-25°C to +55°C)
- Protection rating: IP30; positive-ground configuration
- Dimensions: 6.46 × 4.07 × 1.85 in; net weight: 0.86 lb
Equalization helps reduce sulfation in lead-acid batteries but excludes GEL and lithium batteries. Five operating modes include Light Control with 10-minute delay, Light Control plus 1–14-hour timer, Manual, Debug, and Normal On.
Safety Features and Certifications
Electronic protection against overcharge, over-discharge, overload, short circuit, and reverse polarity. TVS lightning protection helps limit lightning-induced voltage surges. UL 1741 certified.
Installation and Maintenance Requirements
Install with a compatible 12V or 24V battery system and PV array below 55V. Allow space for the 6.46 × 4.07 × 1.85-inch controller. Maintain wiring, terminals, and enclosure condition during scheduled system service.
