Xantrex Charge Controllers

Schneider Xantrex C-Series Controllers are appropriate for small to large sized system. These controllers can be configured as load controllers. Xantrex C-series controllers come with a two year warranty.

The Xantrex C-12 a pulse-width modulation (PMW) charge controllers ideal for 12 V solar systems up to 12 amps and includes a 12 amp low battery load disconnect. Features include fully adjustable set-points, LVD, and over-current protection.

The C-35 is a pulse-width modulation (PMW) charge controller with adjustable set-points and can be used as a DC load controller as well.

The C-40 and C-60 are appropriate for larger systems, and can be used either as either a charge or load controller. The Xantrex C-40 and C-60 include adjustable set points, over current protection and manual or auto equalize mode. The DVM (Digital Voltage Meter) option adds a digital display of battery voltage, charge current and cumulative amp hours from the solar array. The optional BTS (Battery Temperature Sensor) adds temperature compensation to any of these regulators.

The C12 charge, lighting, or load controller is uniquely sophisticated. As a charge controller, it features three-stage

charging, user definable voltage parameters, and automatic equalization. Standard in the C12’s load control circuitry are field adjustable low voltage disconnect and reconnect points, along with a five minute low battery disconnect warning. The C12 also functions as a lighting controller. Lighting run time is adjustable from 2 to 8 hours or can be set from dusk to dawn operation. An optional battery temperature sensor ensures precise battery charging regardless of battery temperature fluctuations.

Xantrex Solar Charge Controller may be used for a charge controller or a diversion controller but may be only used for one of those functions at a time.

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.

Temperature Compensation

BTS/15 or BTS/35 Monitors battery temperature and adjusts charging voltage for maximum performance. A 15 ft. (4.5 m) or 35 ft. (11 m) cable with standard telephone type connectors is included.

CM, CMR/50, CMR/100-A back-lit meter which continuously displays: battery voltage, DC amperage, cumulative amp hours and amp hours since last reset. CM mounts on front of C Series, C35, C40 and C60, charge controllers. The remote meters CMR/50 and CMR/100 use simple telephone type plug-in connectors. 50 ft. (15 m) or 100 ft. (30 m) cable included. If used with a wind turbine, this will only measure voltage.

Xantrex Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) comes in a 15 ft. (4.5 m) or 35 ft. (11 m) cable with standard telephone type connectors is included and is designed for use with DR and UX Inverters and C Series Charge Controllers. The BTS mounts on a terminal post of a battery in a bank or on the side of a battery and measures its temperature. It sends precise information to the charger or charge controller, which automatically adjusts voltage to ensure full battery charge depending on the ambient temperature of your battery installation.
