Model 36/48

 

GSR 36/48V

GSR 36/48 is a   control circuit for   photovoltaic (PV) panels to 
battery   charge.   GSR   36/48   V   implement   PV   panels   step   up 
tension circuit (

Step-up

) it can so work with PV panels having 

a working voltage inferior to the voltage of the battery. In fig. 1 
it is possible to find a complete GSR 36/48 V scheme. 
The charging circuit of the battery makes the PV module work 
in   the   maximum   power   point   in   a   voltage   range   from   2.0V 
down to a voltage close to the battery voltage . The battery can 
be both 36V and 48V, and the voltage can be changed using a 
switch. 
The GSR 36/48 can be configured to charge lead-acid batteries 
(charge - end voltage, temperature compensated) and lithium- 
ion battery (LiFePo) and in this case applies a constant charge - 
end voltage with temperature.
There   is   a   LOAD   terminal   that   can   be   used   to   control   the 
activation   of   an   external   load   at   the   same   voltage   of   the 
battery with a maximum current of 5A.
The   LOAD   terminal   can   be   configured   using   a   dip   switch   to 
fuction for 24 h/day or it can be set to function only at night 
(SW3).
The   LOAD   terminal   doesn't   function   in   case   of   low   battery 
(voltage lower than the low-battery signal- see Tab 3).
Two LEDs on the GSR 36/48 indicate the operational status of 
the   system   ,   a   green   LED   indicates   the   charging   current 
delivered to the battery , while an amber/red LED indicates a 
low battery condition or overtemperature (see Tab.2).
