FACTS
SOLAR REGULATOR
INTELLIGENT
REGULATOR - PL20, PL40, PL60
The PL series of charge
controllers give you the freedom to operate your solar electric
system the way you want to. They offer complete control over the
charge cycle, plus an unprecented amount of useful information about
current and past performance.
PL regulators help to protect the system with a built in low
battery disconnect switch. In addition, the versatile event
controller can switch power on or off according to criteria set by
the user. This allows the PL to do extra tasks such as switching a
light on at night or keeping a water tank full by operating a pump
when needed.
The user can select either Pulse Width Modulation or slow
speed switching. Regulation can be done in both series and shunt
modes. Other features include backup generator control and charging
a second battery.
INFORMATIVE
Display shows battery voltage, charge current,
ampere hours in and out of battery, load being drawn from the
battery and which part of the charge cycle the battery is in.
Easy to maintain
Information is available for the past 30 days - so even if
the user doesn’t remember what happened, the regulator will.
Well Connected
With the optional PLI interface and PLcom software, the user
can access the regulator from a computer. Data can be read or
settings adjusted. This can be done remotely using a modem.
Versatile
It may be the only regulator you will ever need to stock. Its
capacity to handle 12, 24 and 48V systems and allow complete control
of the regulation cycle mean you can use it almost anywhere.
FEATURES
SPECIFICATIONS
Adjustable: All settings are adjustable
and are stored in a non volatile memory
Display: User friendly alphanumeric LCD gives you words to
explain the numbers.
Energy Metering: Shows daily charge and discharge amp hours.
Three Step Regulation: Boost, Absorption and Float modes with
an optional periodic Equalisation mode.. Can switch in series, shunt
or series + shunt modes.
History: Records charge and load amp hours, max and min
battery voltages and state of charge for the last 30 days. Remembers
how much was really collected and used.
Generator Control: A sophisticated generator controller is
included with four different modes of control available and a quiet
time option.
Event Control: A versatile event controller allows the load
to be turned on or off under a user selected set of conditions. Can
be used for lighting, pumping , frost control etc.
Alarm: There is an adjustable low or high battery voltage
alarm.
Second Battery: When the main battery is full, use the waste
energy to charge an auxilary battery. The PL supplies a signal to
switch a relay to the second battery.
Remote Control: A computer can communicate with the PL using
the PLI RS232 interface. Data can be downloaded and settings
adjusted from far away.
Protection: Protected against short circuit, reverse flow,
lightning. Low battery load disconnect function built in. Current
limit for over heat or over current. Conformal coating applied to
protect against corrosion.
External Shunts: Two external shunts can be connected using
the DC isolated PLS2 bi-directional shunt adaptor.
