50A Solar Charge Controller (12/24V, PWM)

The 40-60A series of PWM controllers is larger in size than the 10-30A series. It also includes a metal backplate heatsink. The 50A Solar Charge Controller is designed for 12V and 24V Lead-Acid, Gel & AGM Deep Cycle batteries. It automatically detects the type of battery used in your set up and is plug-and-play (internal values can be adjusted manually). 

• 50A Solar Charge Controller with 3-stage PWM charge management
• Supported battery types: Lead-Acid, Gel, AGM Deep Cycle batteries, 12V and 24V
• Dual USB output ports (5V, 2.5A)- compatible with multiple digital devices
• LCD display - voltage, status, time, load, output, charge & more
• Safe (CE-marked), easy to operate & install
  
• Metal backplate with heatsink to keep the controller cool

Electronic protection features

• Open-circuit protection
• Short-circuit protection
• Reverse protection
• Overload protection
• Dual Mosfet reverse current protection

Wiring steps

• Screw the adjustment screw anticlockwise until the plates move down
• Insert the wire into the new opening between the plate and the "top" of the terminal hole, not underneath it
• Screw the adjuster clockwise. The plate will move upwards, therefore squashing the wire in the terminal hole

Installation steps

• Connect the system in the exact order: battery, then load, then PV array
• Disconnect the system in the reverse order: PV array, then load, then the battery

Notes

• Ensure your battery has enough voltage for the controller to recognize the battery before the first installation
• Keep the controller in a cool & well-ventilated place to maintain good heat dissipation
