SERIES IV - MODEL FM16C
SOLAR BAT T E RY
CHARGE CONTROLLER
Model FM16C is an advanced solar battery charge-only controller designed for use in
RV re c reational vehicle traveler kits, small rural electrification and intro d u c t o ry level
systems. The controller provides a solid state,
without relay design providing a cost eff e c t i v e
migration of technology for users and systems
c u rrently using relay based or traditional
“ o n - o ff” controllers. The FM16C features a
p u l s e - w i d t h - m o d u l a t i o n c h a rge circuit, which
will positively ensure a well-controlled bulk
and then taper charge of the battery at the
regulated voltage. This unique design without
a micro p rocessor finally brings to the first
time user a PWM product at a price which is
e x t remely attractive to replace the older
c h a rging technology c u rrently being used.
The attractive faceplate displays four system status LED’s, and features a built-in LCD
digital system monitor which accurately monitors battery voltage and push button
displays PV current. The reverse polarity protection circuit design features a reverse
polarity red LED for PV or battery, ensuring proper hook up.
