The LR 1218 solar charge regulator is for charging the batteries of the mo-
torhome by means of the connected solar module. The solar charge regula-
tor limits and controls the charging voltage of the batteries. The solar charge
regulator can be connected to:
F
two batteries
F
a Schaudt Electrobloc with a separate connection for solar current
F
a Schaudt Electrobloc with a retrofit adapter for charging the starter
battery
For vehicles with digital panel and solar current display, the charging current
is picked up by the shunt installed in the solar charge regulator and dis-
played as solar current on the digital panel.
The solar charge regulator works as a pulse-width modulated series regula-
tor and ensures that the connected batteries are charged without being im-
paired.
