Introduction

The PL80e is a solar charge controller for 12-48V o grid systems. It handles charge currents of up to 80A and has a load disconnect switch rated to 40A. The PL80e is positive ground and uses protected Mosfet switches. It uses 3 charge stages - boost, absorption and oat. A periodic equalisatione can also be enabled if required. The user can select PWM or slow speed switching control of the charge current. Slow switching is useful for low noise radio sites.

All the settings are user adjustable and held in non volatile memory. There are 4 programs with preset levels and one which is fully user adjustable.

The user interface alllows the user to see the battery voltage, charge current, load current, daily charge Ah, daily load Ah, and daily minimum and maximum battery voltages. The PL80e records daily history data. It keeps 30 days worth of data in a revolving non volatile memory.

Adjustable low voltage load disconnection is provided. There is a back up generator controller which can be based on voltage or state of charge and includes a generator exercise function. An auxilary output (’G terminal’) is provided via an optically isolated solid state relay. This can be assigned to generator , event or load control.

A flexible event controller is included which allows conditional events to be programmed.

External shunts can be added to capture other system currents and there is a serial computer interface. A battery temperature sensor can be added to improve regulation accuracy.
