C: February 2001Page129OTHER PRODUCTSContact your Xantrex dealer for details of any of the products below.C40 MULTI-FUNCTION CONTROLLERThe C40 Multi-Function Controller may be used as a PV (solar) charge controller, DC load controller, orDC diversion regulator. The unit works with 12, 24, or 48 volts systems and is rated at 40 ampscontinuous 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 CONTROLLERThe C-12 Charge Controller is a 12 amp 3 stage solar charge controller, DC load, and automatic lightingcontrol center. The C12 Charge Controller is fully protected against overload, short-circuit, and reversepolarity. It is ideal for controlling lighting systems as it uses a PV array as an electric eye to “see” when it isdark, so it knows when to turn on the lights! Automatic reset, battery over discharge and overchargeprotection, two-stage lightning protection and surge suppression, and optional temp compensation sensorare a few of the features of the C12 Charge Controller .SW SERIES POWER PANEL SYSTEMSPre-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 batteryand hook up AC loads. An AC system bypass allows AC loads to operate while the inverter is locked outfor servicing.TM500 TRACE™ METER (BATTERY STATUS MONITOR)The Trace™ TM500 battery status monitor features seven data-monitoring functions and two alarms thatmonitor battery state of charge, real-time amps, total charging amps, total load amps, days since fullycharged, cumulative amp-hours, recharge alarm and full charge indicator. Mounts up to 50 feet from thebatteries. Easily configured for liquid lead-acid or gel cell batteries. Works with 12, 24, or 48-volt systemswith an optional 48V shunt board.STEP-UP/STEP-DOWN (BALANCING) TRANSFORMERThe Trace™ T240 Transformer uses high efficiency transformer technology and is constructed with hightemperature rated materials. This provides an unusually high efficiency device for voltage conversion froman inverter, generator or conventional AC source. The T240 Transformer has two identical windings thatcan be connected and used for line isolation, voltage step-up and step-down or generator balancing. The3.9 Kva continuous power of the T240 Transformer is sized to take advantage of the Trace™ inverter line.OVERCURRENT PROTECTION – FUSES AND DISCONNECTSThe Trace™ fuseblock (TFB) protects your battery, inverter, and high amperage cables from damage byshort circuits and overloads. Simply select the proper size fuseblock and install between the inverter andbattery in the ungrounded conductor (typically the positive cable).TFB’s include a fast acting, current limiting class-T fuse. This fuse provides extremely fast protectionwhen a short circuit occurs. When properly selected, it also has a time delay that allows the inverter tosurge to full power without blowing the fuse.TFB’s provide the code required inverter overcurrent protection for RV and Marine applications. A slide offcover prevents accidental contact with the fuse’s live terminals. For maximum protection, install thefuseblock within 18 inches (45 cm) of the battery.For residential and commercial electrical systems, the National Electrical Code requires both overcurrentprotection and a disconnect switch. Xantrex offers the DC250 and DC175 circuit breaker disconnects withenclosure for applications requiring NEC compliance. The DC250 and DC175 are also designed to accept2-inch conduit to protect the inverter and battery cables.
