So I'm clearancing these out for $45 USD each. When the new ones come out they will sell for $69.95 USD each. No printed manual is included so please DOWNLOAD IT HERE. DESCRIPTION The Universal Relay Diversion Controller/Regulator is a low cost Microprocessor controlled dump/on-off type controller designed for the DIY (Do It Yourselfer). It is designed to switch up to 4 conventional automotive style electromechanical relays (EMR) with up to 800ma total coil current draw with up to 160A power handling capability. Also unlike other controllers of this type of design, this will also control DC-DC Solid State Relays (SSR) in conventional (Dump) diversion mode or use a 2-Stage charge algorithm and a Equalization mode. It is theoretically able to switch up to 32 SSRs at 25ma each (untested). If using just 40 amp SSRs that adds up to a potential 1280A power handling capability. To keep cost down, this controller was designed for the DIY (Do It Yourselfer) and is the BOARD ONLY and does not include an enclosure. It can be mounted directly on a wall in a area protected from the environment or in a user supplied enclosure.

(Maximum Power Point Tracking) Description: The model MPPT 500HV is a high performance current boosting solar control. Through the use of advanced microprocessor control and a high efficiency power converter, power wasted in older PWM style solar controls is converted into higher charge current. The MPPT 500HV allows for input voltage conversion. This increases the Maximum Power Point voltage and allows for higher boost current over wider operating conditions. A high accuracy digital volt and amp meter displays battery voltage, photovoltaic current and battery charge current. Proper battery charging is maintained over a wide temperature range with the battery temperature sensor. Battery float voltage is accurately regulated. Night time battery discharge is eliminated through the use of a high efficiency Schottky diode. Maximum input power to the MPPT 500HVÂ is 500 watts. Maximum photovoltaic input voltage is 100 VDC open circuit. The model MPPT500HV is optimized for operation at higher PV input voltages. Operation: When power is available from the solar panel, the MPPT 500HV microprocessor measures and determines the optimum operating point of the solar panel to produce the highest charge current possible to the battery. There is no interaction between the MPPT 500HV and other battery charging systems. The float voltage of the MPPT 500HV is calibrated to 14.1 volts. When the battery voltage reaches 14.1 volts the red Float LED turns on. At this point, charge current to the battery will gradually diminish to maintain the 14.1 float voltage. As soon as a load is turned on, maximum charge current is applied to the battery. Temperature compensation adjusts the float voltage to properly charge the battery over a wide temperature range. When the battery is warm the float voltage will drop and when the battery is cold the float voltage will rise. MPPT 500HV is well suited for flooded, deep cycle and gel type batteries. Features: Maximum power point tracking technology provides up to 30% more power from the solar array Built-in digital display shows battery voltage and charge current Temperature compensation Lightning protection Maximum solar open circuit voltage is 100 volts Use with a 12, 24, or 48 volt system Voltage setpoint is adjustable to accommodate different battery types Charge a low voltage battery from a high voltage solar array, reducing wire losses Internal Schottky diode prevents night time battery discharge Includes five year manufacturer's warranty Specifications: At 12V Output At 24V Output At 48V Output PV Charge Current: 45 amps continuous 22 amps continuous 11 amps continuous Surge Current: 54 amps for 10 min. 26.4 amps for 10 min. 13.2 amps for 10 min.

(Maximum Power Point Tracking) This is a Panel/Flush Mount (For surface mount you need the optional enclosure or to make your own) The model MPPT250HV is a 25 amp high performance current boosting solar control optimized for use with the Kaneka GSA211 60 watt solar panels and other systems utilizing High Voltage arrays. Through the use of advanced microprocessor control and a high efficiency power converter, power wasted in older PWM style solar controls is converted into higher charge current. The MPPT250HV allows for input voltage conversion. This increases the Maximum Power Point voltage and allows for higher boost current over wider operating conditions. You can charge a 12 volt battery from a high voltage solar panel. A high accuracy digital volt and amp meter displays battery voltage and charge current. An auxiliary 100 ma 13.8 volt trickle charger is provided to keep the engine/generator start battery fully charged. A 15 amp capacity low voltage disconnect protects the battery from over discharge conditions. Proper battery charging is maintained over a wide temperature range with the battery temperature sensor. Battery float voltage is accurately regulated. Night time battery discharge is eliminated through the use of a high efficiency Schottky diode. Maximum normalized input power to the MPPT250HV is 250 watts Operation: When power is available from the solar panel, the MPPT250HV microprocessor measures and determines the optimum operating point of the solar panel to produce the highest charge current possible to the battery. There is no interaction between the MPPT250HV and other battery charging systems. The float voltage of the MPPT250HV is factory set to 14.1 volts. The float voltage is adjustable. When the battery voltage reaches the float voltage the red Float LED turns on. At this point, charge current to the battery will gradually diminish to maintain the float voltage. As soon a load is turned on, maximum charge current is applied to the battery. Temperature compensation adjusts the float voltage to properly charge the battery over a wide temperature range. When the battery is warm the float voltage will drop and when the battery is cold the float voltage will rise. The MPPT250HV is well suited for flooded, deep cycle and gel type batteries. A low voltage disconnect is included to protect the battery from excessive discharge by automatically turning off a load, such as lights that may have been left on. Load is disconnected when the battery voltage is 12.0 volts or lower. When the batteries are recharged to 12.6 volts the low voltage disconnect reconnects the load. The yellow LED on the face of the MPPT250HV is lit when the load is connected. Operation of the low voltage disconnect is fully automatic. Maximum low voltage disconnect load current is 15 amps. Do not connect the low voltage disconnect to inverters.
