C-Series Solar Charge Controller - 12 Amps

PV charge, lighting and load controller

The C12 charge, lighting, or load controller is uniquely sophisticated. As a charge controller, it features three-stage charging, user definable voltage parameters, and automatic equalization.

Standard in the C12s load control circuitry are field adjustable low voltage disconnect and reconnect points, along with a five minute low battery disconnect signal. The C12 also functions as a lighting controller.

Lighting run time is adjustable from two to eight hours or can be set from dusk to dawn operation. It is used worldwide in a variety of applications, including remote village lighting systems and automatic outdoor lighting. An optional battery temperature sensor manages battery charging based on battery temperature.

Features:

  • Improve battery life with pulse width modulated (PWM) multi-stage temperature compensated charging
    • Two-year standard warranty
    • PV charge and load controller
    • Automatic lighting controller
    • Electronic detection of short-circuit, overload, over-temperature and reverse polarity conditions
    • Tolerance to hostile environments with conformal-coated boards and powder-coated enclosure
    • Field adjustable voltage and battery set point
    • Automatically disconnects from the battery at night
    • Compatible with negative ground and ungrounded systems

WarningWARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP) which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, and Di-isodecyl Phthalate (DIDP) which is known to the State of California to cause reproductive harm.

Xantrex C12 C-Series Solar Charge Controller is a versatile 12-amp PV charge, lighting, and load controller for remote power systems, outdoor lighting installations, and off-grid applications. Designed to manage battery charging and connected loads, the C12 combines three-stage PWM charging, adjustable voltage parameters, automatic equalization, and configurable lighting control in one controller.


Use the Xantrex C12 to support battery charging with temperature-compensated, pulse width modulated charging that can help promote longer battery service life. Field-adjustable voltage and battery set points allow the controller to be configured for the requirements of a specific system. Its load-control circuitry includes adjustable low-voltage disconnect and reconnect points, plus a five-minute low-battery disconnect signal to help manage connected equipment.


The C12 also functions as an automatic lighting controller for remote village lighting systems, outdoor lighting, and other applications that require scheduled operation. Lighting run time can be adjusted from two to eight hours or configured for dusk-to-dawn operation. The controller automatically disconnects from the battery at night and is compatible with negative-ground and ungrounded systems. An optional battery temperature sensor is available to manage battery charging based on battery temperature.


Key Features:



  • Three-stage PWM charging: Supports temperature-compensated battery charging with automatic equalization.

  • PV charge and load control: Combines solar charging and connected-load management in one controller.

  • Adjustable system settings: Field-adjustable voltage, battery set points, and low-voltage disconnect and reconnect points.

  • Automatic lighting control: Provides two- to eight-hour lighting operation or dusk-to-dawn control.

  • Protective detection features: Electronically detects short-circuit, overload, over-temperature, and reverse-polarity conditions.

  • Rugged construction: Conformal-coated boards and a powder-coated enclosure support use in hostile environments.
