Xantrex Technology XC5012, XC2524, XC3012, XC1524 Temperature Specifications, Protection Features

Specifications

Temperature Specifications

Nominal ambient	25 °C (77 °F)
Operating range	0	– 50 °C (32 – 122 °F)
Current de-rating	approx. 2% (Imax) / °C (50 – 65 °C) (122 – 149 °F)
Storage	-40 – 80 °C (-40 – 176 °F)
Humidity	5	– 95%, RH non-condensing

Protection Features

Battery reverse polarity	No damage incurred by reverse polarity.
Safe non-operating battery voltage	35 VDC maximum
Over-voltage limits	The XC Series will stop charging any bank that has a
	voltage greater than + 0.5 V over the temperature
	compensated absorption voltage. It will restart when
	this voltage is + 0.2 V.
Output current limit	XC3012: 30 – 33 ADC
	XC5012: 50 – 55 ADC
	XC1524: 15 – 16.5 ADC
	XC2524: 25 – 27.5 ADC
Over-temperature	Internal charger temperature is measured. Unit shuts
	down and restarts as follows:
	• Over-temperature shutdown at 75 °C (167 °F)
	• Over-temperature restart at 70 °C (158 °F)
Current derating in ambient	Rated current to 50 °C (122 °F)
temperatures	2%/ °C derating above 50 °C (122 °F)
Battery over-temperature	Battery temperature, as sensed by the battery
protection	temperature sensor (if installed), results in the
	charger no longer charging the individual battery or
	bank at a battery temperature of 55 °C (132 °F).
