The Phocos CIS 10 Solar Charge Controller 12-24V 10A is a sophisticated solar charge controller family for lighting & industrial control applications. PV systems exposed to extreme weather /environmental conditions (street lights, navigation buoys, etc.) have increased risk of damage in the power electronics. In order to ensure reliable battery charge control under such conditions, Phocos developed an encapsulated charge controller (IP68) to prevent corrosion: CIS. Besides a perfect PWM regulation with integrated temperature compensation, the controllers provide extraordinary display, programming and safety functions. The CIS series comes with three load switching mode. The temperature-compensated three-state PWM charging method (boost-equalize-float) is now adapted to sealed and vented lead-acid batteries. The low voltage disconnect function can be controlled either by SOC or by voltage. The Phocos CIS 10 Solar Charge Controller 12-24V 10A has no moving parts, switches or buttons. Settings such as battery type, deep discharge thresholds, timers and other configuration items are made quick and easy by infrared remote control.
