They are one of the best Harry and give all management readings to correctly know what is going on with the Solar and Batteries.

You can obtain all operating procedures from Plasmatronic. These regulators are OK but you have to be aware that these regulators were designed to be used in the communications industry. They were designed as positive earth devices. When you use them in a negative -ve earth system you will be earthing only one of the negative terminals.

If you want to use load terminals in a simple installation then the house wiring system must be floating if your battery negative battery terminal is earthed. The PL series of charge controllers give you the freedom to operate your solar electric system the way you want to.

They offer complete control over the charge cycle, plus an unprecedented amount of useful information about current and past performance. PL regulators help to protect the system with a built in low battery disconnect switch. In addition, the versatile event controller can switch power on or off according to criteria set by the user.

This allows the PL to do extra tasks such as switching a light on at night or keeping a water tank full by operating a pump when needed. The user can select either Pulse Width Modulation or slow speed switching. Regulation can be done in both series and shunt modes. Other features include backup generator control and charging a second battery. A comprehensive LCD display gives battery voltage, charge current, Ah in and out, load current, battery temperature with optional sensor and more.

System performance data is available for the last 30 days. The controller remembers what happened, even if the user might not. All data can be read, and all settings adjusted. Because it can handle 12, 24, 32, 36, and 48V systems, and be set to deal with any battery requirements, you can use it in almost any battery charging job.

It may be the only regulator you will ever need to stock. Higher voltages available on special order. Doing so could damage Regulator and void warranty. The DingoN is the next generation charge controller from Plasmatronics. It inherits many of the best features of the PL series of controllers. But, thanks to Plasmatronics extensive industry experience and a wealth of customer feedback, the DingoN is in a class of its own. However, the main applications its designed for is vehicle systems, such as Campervan, Motor-home, Caravan, Cars, Trucks and boats.

As Its easier to understand for people used to working on vehicle systems, due to the Negative grounding. The Dingo series of solar controllers is exceptionally versatile. They give the user unparalleled capability to adjust the function of the controller and to monitor the performance of the energy system.

To cater for non technical users, the Dingo has four preset programs which can be used without needing to understand the details of its operation. For those with a good understanding of solar regulation, there is another program, which allows all the settings to be adjusted if required. Once the program has been selected, it is possible to disable any further adjustment.

This prevents unauthorised adjustment of settings. Although the Dingo is primarily a device to control the charging of batteries from solar electric photovoltaic panels, it can also be used with other energy sources such as wind, micro hydro and fuel driven generators. The Dingo supports a variety of regulation methods. It supports slow speed switching and fixed frequency pulse width modulation PWM control in series and shunt modes.

Low battery voltage load disconnection is provided, as are an alarm, facility to control the charging of a second battery bank and control for a back up generator. The event controller can be used to control lights, pumping, waste energy use and other timer functions. A temperature sensor can be added to correct the regulation voltages for battery temperature. There is an input for measuring external voltages.

Using an external current shunt attached to a remote current sensor DSA allows the controller to see other current flows in the system. The Dingo can control larger systems by adding external switch blocks attached to the serial bus. Custom settings can be stored on a computer and uploaded into the controller. Data from the controller can be downloaded into the computer and displayed easily.

The Dingo DP is the new series switching regulator in the Dingo family. Derived from the popular PL series controllers, the DP is the fruit of Plasmatronics extensive industry experience and recent technical developments. The Dingo P was designed as an upgrade to the PL40 with a larger load terminal. This was designed to be used with all existing Dingo accessories. Their products are manufactured in a fully automated world-class ISO facility.

This controller is easy to use and was developed for residential and leisure consumer applications. Metered and non-metered versions of this product are available at 10, 20, and 30 amp charge ratings for 12 and 24 volt battery systems. Battery Charging. It provides many features and benefits not available on other controllers including automatic lighting control. Morningstar have retained much of their legacy design including the same ratings, footprint and simple user interface, and have added several new and advanced high value features:.

This controller also includes a backlit remote meter which may be mounted in or on a wall, and displays digital and pictorial status information about the solar power system. The SunSaver Duo is epoxy encapsulated for environmental protection, is user adjustable via DIP switch or connection to a personal computer, and has an optional remote temperature sensor. Two Battery Charging: Solar charge current is shared between the two batteries based on a user selectable priority. When one battery is fully charged, all of the charge current flows to the other battery.

Custom icons and back lighting make the meter easy to read and understand. Lower Cost : Two battery charging eliminates the added cost of two separate solar charging systems and the need for isolation between the batteries. Easy to Install : The controller is installed near the batteries using the clearly labeled large wire terminals. The remote meter may be mounted in the wall or on the wall using the included frame.

Also includes the meter wiring with RJ connector. Longer Battery Life: Four stage series PWM pulse charging and temperature compensation increases the useful life of the batteries. Extensive Electronic Protections : The controller will not be damaged by wiring mistakes during installation. There are no fuses to replace, and the controller will automatically re-set after a wiring mistake. Highly Reliable : Epoxy encapsulation protects the controller against dust and high humidity.

Efficient electronics and a conservative thermal design allow the controller to operate reliably at high temperatures. Five year warranty and estimated 15 year life. The ProStar solar charge controller has been the leading mid-range pulse width modulation PWM controller since With over , units installed in the harshest environments in over countries, the ProStar has developed a strong reputation for reliable performance.

This third generation ProStar maintains the same quality and form factor as previous models, while offering new data, lighting control, graphical interface, and protection features to better meet the needs of off-grid solar applications.

The SunLight Solar controller has a range of built-in Lighting control functions. You can select between the different functions by the simple turn of a dial on the controller face. Options range from turning lights on at dusk and off at dawn, having lights turn on for a select amount of time after dusk, or having lights turn on at dusk, off a couple of hours later, and on again for a few hours before dawn.

The controller operates in one of these modes at a time and two or more controllers may be used to provide multiple functions.
