Plasmatronics 40A Multi-voltage Regulator - PL40

The PL series of charge controllers give you 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 build 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 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.

Advantages

The user can select either Pulse Width Modulation or slow speed switching. Regulation can be done in both series and shunt modes. Other features can backup generator control and charging a second battery.

Informative: Display shows battery voltage, charge current, ampere hours in and out of battery, load being drawn from the battery and which part of the charge cycle the battery is in.

Easy to maintain: Information is available for the past 30 days - so even if the user doesn't remember what happened, the regulator will.

Well connected: With the optional PLI interface and PLcom software, the user can access the regulator from a computer. Data can be read or settings adjusted. This can be done remotely by using a modem.

Versatile: It may be the only regulator you will ever need to stock. Its capacity to handle 12, 24 and 48V systems and allow complete control of the regulation cycle mean you can use it almost anywhere.
