LYNCOM MODELS PV12

AND PV12M PV SYSTEM

CONTROLLERS

Lyncom’s microprocessor based charge controllers incorporate state-of-the-art design and advanced pulse-width-modulation (PWM) battery charging operation, offering the highest quality and more features than comparably priced PV controllers. Field proven PWM design for battery charging, reduces water loss,

extends battery life, and allows more daily amp-hours into the battery as compared to traditional “on-off” controllers.

Model PV12 is an advanced PV system battery charge and load controller for 12 volt solar systems rated up to 12 amps, charge & load, intended for PV applications such as remote homes, cabins, houseboats,

RV’s, park facilities, campgrounds or telemetry sites.

The PV12 has three system status LED’s: system charging, battery full & battery low. The reverse polarity protection circuit features a reverse polarity red LED for PV or battery, ensuring proper hook up.

Model PV12M is a system controller featuring a built-in LCD digital system monitor which accurately displays battery voltage, and push buttons display PV and load currents.

Two system charge status LED’s and reverse polarity red LED also included with PV12M.

A low voltage load disconnect circuit (LVD) is standard on both models and prevents battery over-discharge during extended overcast periods.
