MORNINGSTAR RELAY DRIVER

• Temperature Compensated Overcharge Protection
• Temperature Compensated Cycle Charging
• Overdischarge Protection
• Overcharge protection is provided by a pulse-with-modulated shunt controller which guarantees quick and gentle charging of the battery (characteristic IV curve)
• Equipped with an integrated circuit (ASIC) specially designed for solar charging
• An LED colour display gives information about voltage of the accumulator
• New in this price class is a cycle charging, boost charging and a temperature compensation which are regularly integrated in these charge controllers

Functions

The FLEXmax family of charge controllers is the latest innovation in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers from OutBack Power Systems. The innovative FLEXmax MPPT software algorithm is both continuous and active, increasing your photovoltaic array power yield up to 30% compared to non-MPPT controllers. Thanks to active cooling and intelligent thermal management cooling, both FLEXmax charge controllers can operate at their full maximum current rating, 60 Amps or 80 Amps respectively, in ambient temperatures as high as 104°F (40°C).

Included in all of the FLEXmax Charge Controllers are the revolutionary features first developed by OutBack Power, including support for a wide range of nominal battery voltages and the ability to step-down a higher voltage solar array to recharge a lower voltage battery bank. A built-in, backlit 80 character display shows the current status and logged system performance data for the last 128 days at the touch of a button. The integrated OutBack network communications allows FLEXmax series Charge Controllers to be remotely programmed and monitored via a MATE system display and provides unrivaled complete system integration.

FLEXmax MPPT Charge Controllers are the only choice when you demand a high performance, efficient and versatile charge controller for your advanced power system.

• The low voltage disconnect will increase battery life. The loads areautomatically disconnected when the battery is low and automatically reconnected after the battery is recharged
• Complete charging will increase battery life and storage capacity
The controller will maximize the amount of solar energy into the batteryand avoid drying out the battery.
• LEDs display status information and battery level which helps the user to better operate the solar power system
• The SHS was specifically designed to meet the needs of the rural electrification market. The low cost resulted from using the latest electronic technology and high volume manufacturing
• Designed for high quality and high reliability. The SHS controller has a low failure rate and will last a long time
• The SHS has built-in electronic fuses that do not require replacement. Any wiring mistakes during installation will not damage the controller
• The SHS electronics are protected with a moisture-tight coating, minimizing damage from humidity and from nesting insects
• The SHS controller is fully automatic and requires no adjustments or user selections

fully programmable 4-channel logic controller that can be used to control mechanical or solid-state relays in an AC or DC power system. A limitless number of combinations can be configured for each channel on the RD to control the switching of circuits on and off based on several variables present in the system. The purpose of this document is to explore three of the many applications and uses of this product:
