LYNCOM MODELS PV12
AND PV12M PV SYSTEM
C O N T R O L L E R S
Ly n c o m ’s micro p rocessor 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” contro l l e r s .
Model PV12 is an advanced PV system
b a t t e ry charge and load controller for 12
volt solar systems rated up to 12 amps,
c h a rge & 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
c h a rging, 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 b a t t e ry 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
b a t t e ry over- d i s c h a rge during extended overcast periods.
