Xantrex C-Series Solar Charger Remote and
Controller Operation (Model: C35, C40, C60)
This article provides basic operation instructions for a Xantrex C-Series Solar Charger Remote and Controller (Model: C35,
C40, C60).
12 Volt Receptacles
Your coach maybe equipped with one or more 12 volt
receptacles conveniently located in the dash area. These
12 volt receptacles allow you to plug in a variety of 12 volt
DC accessories, including cell phone battery chargers,
camera battery chargers, etc. These are fused at 20 amps.
Remote Display (C40)
The Xantrex C-Series Meter Display provides a digital
display of the voltage, current, and amp-hour status for
the C-Series Multifunction DC Controller.
The C-Series Meters have three features:
Diesel coaches may have an outlet designed for use with the engine block heater. It may be located in the engine
compartment or in one of the rear compartment bays.
Block Heater Outlet
This outlet may be controlled by the block heater button
on coaches equipped with a SilverLeaf touchscreen.
Coaches without SilverLeaf may have a switch in the
overhead cabinet to turn the power to the outlet on or o ff ,
while others may be wired directly from the breaker box.
Coaches equipped with energy management systems
operating on shore power of 30 amps or less may have
power shed to the block heater if the other loads exceed
the amperage set on the energy management system.
This article provides basic information about the solar panels that may be installed on the coach.
Solar Power
Solar Power Overview
If your coach is equipped with a 5 or 10 watt solar panel, it charges the chassis batteries when exposed to sunlight. Larger
solar panels (optional equipment on select coaches) may also charge the house battery bank.
The solar panel is regulated to charge automatically and
should be cleaned as needed for the most e ffi cient light
absorption. The following is an example of how the system
may charge the batteries based on battery voltage. For
example, if the chassis batteries are above 12.7 volts direct
current, the solar panel may provide less charge.
•
12.7 Volts = 100% of Battery Charge
•
12.4 Volts = 75% of Battery Charge
•
12.2 Volts = 50% of Battery Charge
•
12.0 Volts = 25% of Battery Charge
•
11.9 Volts = 0% of Battery Charge
It is important to note that the system may not
indicate a charge any time it is exposed to sunlight.
The built-in “regulator” will only allow the system to
charge the chassis batteries when their voltage is
low.
IMPORTANT
!
•
a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to show current,
voltage, amperage, resettable amp hours and total
amp hours,
•
an Amp-hour Reset Button, which is also used to
illuminate or dim the display, and
•
a Light Emitting Diode (LED) to indicate system status.
