12/24 V @ 20 Amps

Introduction
15 Amp Constant Voltage Regulator 

Excellent Control Features:
	Constant Voltage
	Constant Current
	Half Cell Voltage Regulation

Very High Efficiency
 
Low Cost  12 or 24 or 36 / 6 or 12 or 24 V conversion down in voltage

High Performance

Transient Protection on all connections

	Solar Converters Inc. is pleased to introduce a new product for 
users of renewable energy.  We have developed a Cathodic Regulator which 
keeps your valuble system running at its peak performance and free of
corrosion.  This unit also doubles as a Constant Voltage Regulator for 
systems operating 12 Volt loads off of 24 Volt battery systems or any other 
down conversion at up to 20 amps of load current converted at over 96% 
efficiency.

	Designed for peak performance and stabilty, this Cathodic Regulator/
Constant Voltage Regulator is a low cost, highly reliable unit built to
high quality standards.  This unit is based upon the proven design of the 
Power Tracker(TM). 

Features
	
	- Ideal for solar powered battery backed cathodic protection systems
		very high efficiency maximizes the performance of your solar
                investment while minimizing cost

	- Ideal Constant Voltage Regulator - Operates 12 V loads from 24 
                Volt battery systems

		
	- User adjustable output voltage, current limit and half cell 
		voltage regulation	

	- Automatic flipover between the different operating modes

	- Remote control (instant on/off) and metering options available for
		 sequenced operation

Mechanical Specifications

Open Frame style for mount in NEMA enclosures
	Also available in a 4" X 4" X 1.5" NEMA 4 box

Dimensions:   4.88" X 4.88" X 1.5" 
Weight: approx 2 lbs.
Temperature Range:      -40 deg C to 75 deg C
	It is recommended, as with all electronics, that the unit not be
 	placed in direct sunshine.
Terminations:	
	Power Eurostyle terminal block, Wire size:  #10 AWG
	Signal  Eurostyle terminal block, Wire size:  #18 AWG
Humidity   90% non-condensing ,designed and tested for operation in a 
	   NEMA 12, 4, 4X enclosure = weatherproof

Application Comments
	1) It is recommended that the unit be placed in a system that 
                has an LVD capability, unit shuts down under 10 V input
	2) When not operating in half cell voltage regulation, short half 
		cell sense to itself
	3) Addition of simple tramsformer and diode bridge, unit becomes 
		AC powered

Note:  In the interest of continuous product improvement, specifications 
       subject to change without notice.
