SunSaver Gen3 controllers are advanced PWM solar battery charging and load controllers for smaller stand-alone 12 and 24 VDC PV systems. A rugged anodized aluminum case, marine rated terminals, and epoxy encapsulated electronics enhance durability. A temperature compensation sensor in the charge controller varies full charge voltage with temperature.
SunSavers are field-selectable for sealed or flooded batteries and have a 4-stage battery charging process (including auto equalization for flooded batteries) optimized for long battery life and improved system performance. Self-diagnostics and electronic error protection prevent damage when installation mistakes
or system faults occur and reset automatically when resolved. The Gen3 controllers include a multi-color status LED as well as 3 Battery LEDs, which together indicate system status, battery state-of-charge and 13 possible error conditions. The new terminal cover prevents contact with the wiring terminals. The load output connections can provide power to DC loads up to the unit’s amperage rating, and “L” models provide low-voltage disconnect (LVD) for connected loads. Telecom mode and 15 V max charge limit for sensitive loads. Negative ground only. Operating temperature range of –40°C to +60°C.
