C40 MULTI-FUNCTION CONTROLLER

The C40 Multi-Function Controller may be used as a PV (solar) charge controller, DC load controller, or DC diversion regulator. The unit works with 12, 24, or 48 volts systems and is rated at 40 amps continuous capacity. Other features of the C40 Multi-Function Controller are field adjustable setpoints, temperature compensation and protection, electronic overload protection with manual or auto-reset ability, optional LCD meter and an optional battery temperature compensation sensor (BTS).

C12 CHARGE CONTROLLER

The C-12 Charge Controller is a 12 amp 3 stage solar charge controller, DC load, and automatic lighting control center. The C12 Charge Controller is fully protected against overload, short-circuit, and reverse polarity. It is ideal for controlling lighting systems as it uses a PV array as an electric eye to “see” when it is dark, so it knows when to turn on the lights! Automatic reset, battery over discharge and overcharge protection, two-stage lightning protection and surge suppression, and optional temp compensation sensor are a few of the features of the C12 Charge Controller .

SW SERIES POWER PANEL SYSTEMS

Pre-assembled complete power panels featuring the SW Series Inverter/Chargers are now available. Each panel is complete and complies with all codes (it is ETL listed). All you do is connect to the battery and hook up AC loads. An AC system bypass allows AC loads to operate while the inverter is locked out for servicing.

TM500 TRACE™ METER (BATTERY STATUS MONITOR)

The Trace™ TM500 battery status monitor features seven data-monitoring functions and two alarms that monitor battery state of charge, real-time amps, total charging amps, total load amps, days since fully charged, cumulative amp-hours, recharge alarm and full charge indicator. Mounts up to 50 feet from the batteries. Easily configured for liquid lead-acid or gel cell batteries. Works with 12, 24, or 48-volt systems with an optional 48V shunt board.

STEP-UP/STEP-DOWN (BALANCING) TRANSFORMER

The Trace™ T240 Transformer uses high efficiency transformer technology and is constructed with high temperature rated materials. This provides an unusually high efficiency device for voltage conversion from an inverter, generator or conventional AC source. The T240 Transformer has two identical windings that can be connected and used for line isolation, voltage step-up and step-down or generator balancing. The 3.9 Kva continuous power of the T240 Transformer is sized to take advantage of the Trace™ inverter line.

OVERCURRENT PROTECTION – FUSES AND DISCONNECTS

The Trace™ fuseblock (TFB) protects your battery, inverter, and high amperage cables from damage by short circuits and overloads. Simply select the proper size fuseblock and install between the inverter and battery in the ungrounded conductor (typically the positive cable).

TFB’s include a fast acting, current limiting class-T fuse. This fuse provides extremely fast protection when a short circuit occurs. When properly selected, it also has a time delay that allows the inverter to surge to full power without blowing the fuse.

TFB’s provide the code required inverter overcurrent protection for RV and Marine applications. A slide off cover prevents accidental contact with the fuse’s live terminals. For maximum protection, install the fuseblock within 18 inches (45 cm) of the battery.

For residential and commercial electrical systems, the National Electrical Code requires both overcurrent protection and a disconnect switch. Xantrex offers the DC250 and DC175 circuit breaker disconnects with enclosure for applications requiring NEC compliance. The DC250 and DC175 are also designed to accept 2-inch conduit to protect the inverter and battery cables.

SW Series specifications

Xantrex Technology has established itself as a leader in innovative power solutions, and its SW Series inverters epitomizes this commitment to quality and efficiency. Designed for both standalone and grid-tied applications, the SW Series offers versatile power management for a range of residential and commercial needs.

At the heart of the SW Series is its advanced pure sine wave output, ensuring clean and reliable electricity suitable for sensitive electronics. This feature makes it an excellent choice for applications such as solar energy systems, where it provides high-quality power for a variety of devices, from household appliances to complex machinery.

One of the key characteristics of the SW Series is its modular design, which allows for easy installation and scalability. This modularity enables users to expand their power system as their energy needs grow, making it an ideal choice for both small and large installations. The inverters come equipped with a user-friendly interface, providing clear information on system performance, battery status, and more, ensuring that users can effectively monitor and manage their energy consumption.

The SW Series inverters also incorporate cutting-edge technology, such as the patented Power Factor Correction (PFC) feature, which optimizes energy efficiency by reducing harmonic distortion. This translates into less wasted electricity and lower energy costs, making it an environmentally friendly option for users looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Another notable feature of the SW Series is its ability to operate in extreme conditions. Built with robust components and advanced thermal management systems, these inverters can withstand a wide range of temperatures and environmental challenges, ensuring reliable performance in various settings. This durability makes them suitable for off-grid applications, including remote cabins, RVs, and boats.

Furthermore, the SW Series supports a variety of battery types, including lithium-ion, AGM, and gel batteries, offering flexibility for users to choose the best energy storage solution for their needs. The sophisticated battery management system ensures optimal charging and discharging, prolonging the lifespan of the batteries and enhancing the overall efficiency of the power system.

In summary, Xantrex Technology's SW Series inverters stand out for their pure sine wave output, modular design, energy efficiency features, and robust performance in challenging conditions. With their versatility and advanced technology, they cater to the evolving needs of today’s power consumers, making them a compelling choice in the modern energy landscape.
