| Xantrex C Series Charge Controller The C Series, including the C35, C40 and C60, is the benchmark of our charge controller lineup. The C35 and C60 are field configurable for 12 and 24 VDC operation. The C40 may be configured for 12, 24, or 48 VDC operation. All can be used as a charge, diversion, or load controller and come with a standard multi-color charge status LED. All three of these fully solid state, microprocessor-driven controllers are UL and cUL listed. Whatever the charging source, a C Series controller is sure to meet your DC controller needs. Features - The C Series offers three models, the C35, C40, and C60, that can handle 35,40, and 60 amps of DC current.
-
Silent, pulse width modulated (PWM), high efficiency operation. -
Three-stage battery charging (bulk, absorption, and float). - Automatic overload protection in both active and passive modes.
- PV array short circuit and reverse polarity protection.
- Durable construction.
- Backed by a two year warranty.
- Microprocessor controlled.
As a Solar Charge Controller - When used as a solar charge controller, the C40 can control 12, 24, or 48 VDC array operation and the C35 and C60 can control 12 and 24 VDC array operation.
- All units offer selectable settings for NiCad, flooded lead acid, gel, or absorbed glass mat batteries.
As a DC load controller - As a DC load controller, the C Series has a low voltage disconnect warning system and field adjustable set points that govern automatic low and high voltage disconnect.
- Manual reset switch for emergency low voltage operation.
As a Diversion Load Controller - The C Series automatically directs extra power to a dedicated load such as an electric water heater and ensures batteries are never over-charged.
