Specifications

Introduction

This solid-state (no relays or solenoids) charge controller has been specifically designed for medium sized solar

or turbine, battery based alternate energy systems of up to 60 amps. The Coleman Air C60-PWM uses two high-

power (230 amps each), in a back-to-back configuration, allowing a significant increase in total current

handling capability over competing models in this price range.

Some of the key features of this controller are:

• Microprocessor controlled -- This is very important for both stability and functionality.

• Solid-State. No relays or solenoids to wear out.

• PWM (pulse width modulation) charging. (Charges using pulses of varying lengths)

• Three stage charging for better battery life.

• Both manual and automatic (30 day) equalize function.

• User changeable settings -- Several controllers on the market set the voltage levels, and that’s that!

• High amp rating – 60 amps solar mode or up to 60 amps diversion mode.

• Over-current, over-voltage and overheat protection.

• Multiple system voltage settings – Easy to set jumper allows use on 12 or 24 volt systems.

• High Contrast LED battery voltage meter.

• On/Off switch for the meters to allow extremely low idle current.

• Battery and charge status LEDs - Several controllers do not tell you what's going on - This one does!

• Push to test. - Ever wonder if your controller & load are working OK?

• Reverse polarity protected – This unit will not be damaged if you inadvertently reverse the inputs.

• Steel enclosure - with multiple conduit openings and cooling vents

• Large terminals - that can actually terminate large wire, with lugs that accept up to #2 wire.

• Extended diversion mode (EDM)

• Works as either a solar charge controller (series), or a diversion controller for wind/hydro systems.

The controller will automatically sense the appropriate mode.

• Passive cooling systems uses a large aluminum plate, the entire width and height of the unit,

providing continuous cooling for the entire unit allowing for proper operation at high power levels.

• No blocking diodes are required for solar. The back-to-back mosfets prevent reverse leakage.

• A PWM controller that adapts its pulse logic to perfectly accommodate wind systems.

Note: Continuous power handling will be reduced in hot climates or installations.
