Using the C60-PWM as a Solar Charge Controller

Series disconnect charge controllers are used with solar systems and other energy sources where the charge

source does not require a constant load. In this mode, the charge source is simply disconnected from the

batteries once the active trip point is reached. It is then reconnected as soon as the battery voltage drops a little.

This on/off cycle may happen many times per second, or last for several hours depending on the current

available from the charge source and the charge state and size of the battery bank. This controller excels in the

solar mode and can handle up to 60 amps of solar charge current on a continuous basis providing there is

adequate cool air entering the enclosure. In warmer installations, the mosfets may be disconnected by the

microprocessor as required (if handling high currents) to allow for a 30 second cool down period.
