WARNING: Once equalization is active in the battery charging, it will not exit this stage unless
there is adequate charging current from the solar panel. There should be NO load on the batteries
when in equalization charging stage.
WARNING: Over-charging and excessive gas precipitation may damage the battery plates and
activate material shedding on them. Too high of equalizing charge or for too long may cause
damage. Please carefully review the specific requirements of the battery used in the system.
WARNING: Equalization may increase battery voltage to a level damaging to sensitive DC loads.
Ensure that all load allowable input voltages are greater than the equalizing charging set point
voltage.
Optional Components
*The PWM10A/20A/30ACC-Viewstar controller is shipped by itself, without any additional
components.
Optional components that require a separate purchase:
Remote Temperature Sensor (TS-R): Measures the temperature
at the battery and uses this data for very accurate temperature
compensation. The sensor is supplied with a 6.6ft cable length that
connects to the charge controller. (Figure 1)
NOTE: The 10A/20A/30A-ViewStar controller comes equipped with
a temperature sensor, but it is ONLY for the charge controller’s
temperature compensation, not the battery’s
Temperature compensation.
LCD Display Tracer Meter (MT-50): Allows for real time monitoring of the
charge controller. Perfect for circumstances where the user cannot easily
access the controller or modify its parameters. It is supplied with a 5.9 ft.
cable and a mounting frame that connects to the RJ45 port on the
ViewStar. (Figure 2)
External Battery (RTC): Allows for access to the charge controller’s
saved settings, charge accumulation, and discharge accumulation without
connecting a deep cycle marine battery. It keeps track of the date/time for
automatic equalization charging purposes.
