C40 MULTI-FUNCTION CONTROLLER
The C40 Multi-Function Controller may be used as a PV (solar) charge controller, DC load controller, or
DC diversion regulator. The unit works with 12, 24, or 48 volts systems and is rated at 40 amps
continuous capacity. Other features of the C40 Multi-Function Controller are field adjustable setpoints,
temperature compensation and protection, electronic overload protection with manual or auto-reset ability,
optional LCD meter and an optional battery temperature compensation sensor (BTS).
C12 CHARGE CONTROLLER
The C-12 Charge Controller is a 12 amp 3 stage solar charge controller, DC load, and automatic lighting
control center. The C12 Charge Controller is fully protected against overload, short-circuit, and reverse
polarity. It is ideal for controlling lighting systems as it uses a PV array as an electric eye to “see” when it is
dark, so it knows when to turn on the lights! Automatic reset, battery over discharge and overcharge
protection, two-stage lightning protection and surge suppression, and optional temp compensation sensor
are a few of the features of the C12 Charge Controller .
SW SERIES POWER PANEL SYSTEMS
Pre-assembled complete power panels featuring the SW Series Inverter/Chargers are now available.
Each panel is complete and complies with all codes (it is ETL listed). All you do is connect to the battery
and hook up AC loads. An AC system bypass allows AC loads to operate while the inverter is locked out
for servicing.
TM500 TRACE METER (BATTERY STATUS MONITOR)
The Trace TM500 battery status monitor features seven data-monitoring functions and two alarms that
monitor battery state of charge, real-time amps, total charging amps, total load amps, days since fully
charged, cumulative amp-hours, recharge alarm and full charge indicator. Mounts up to 50 feet from the
batteries. Easily configured for liquid lead-acid or gel cell batteries. Works with 12, 24, or 48-volt systems
with an optional 48V shunt board.
STEP-UP/STEP-DOWN (BALANCING) TRANSFORMER
The Trace T240 Transformer uses high efficiency transformer technology and is constructed with high
temperature rated materials. This provides an unusually high efficiency device for voltage conversion from
an inverter, generator or conventional AC source. The T240 Transformer has two identical windings that
can be connected and used for line isolation, voltage step-up and step-down or generator balancing. The
3.9 Kva continuous power of the T240 Transformer is sized to take advantage of the Trace Engineering
inverter line.
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION – FUSES AND DISCONNECTS
The Trace Engineering fuseblock (TFB) protects your battery, inverter, and high amperage cables from
damage by short circuits and overloads. Simply select the proper size fuseblock and install between the
inverter and battery in the ungrounded conductor (typically the positive cable).
TFB’s include a fast acting, current limiting class-T fuse. This fuse provides extremely fast protection
when a short circuit occurs. When properly selected, it also has a time delay that allows the inverter to
surge to full power without blowing the fuse.
TFB’s provide the code required inverter overcurrent protection for RV and Marine applications. A slide off
cover prevents accidental contact with the fuse’s live terminals. For maximum protection, install the
fuseblock within 18 inches (45 cm) of the battery.
For residential and commercial electrical systems, the National Electrical Code requires both overcurrent
protection and a disconnect switch. Trace offers the DC250 and DC175 circuit breaker disconnects with
enclosure for applications requiring NEC compliance. The DC250 and DC175 are also designed to accept
2-inch conduit to protect the inverter and battery cables.
