The Nemtek Solar Charge Regulator 12V 10A 140W is designed to efficiently convert the output from a solar panel to a level suitable for charging a 12V lead-acid battery, while

Mean Power Point (MPP) technology ensures that the maximum available power is harvested from the solar panel.

The regulator provides an output to drive a 12V load with a current consumption of up to 10A, as well as a load disconnect function to protect the system and battery against under-voltage and over-current. Five LED’s indicate the charging state, battery condition and load state.

This LED solar regulator offers advanced MPP technology for over 90% efficiency when used with a 140Watt solar panel. It can also be used with solar panels sizes from 20Watt to 200Watts making it very flexible.

• LED display indicates and shows solar charge, battery condition and load indication,
• Set to operate as a 12VDC system,
• The regulator is equipped with various devices to protect its electronics,
• Ideally suited for electric fencing that requires solar panels and batteries in remote areas.

WARNINGS AND LIMITATIONS OF THE NEMTEK SOLAR CHARGE REGULATOR 12V 10A

• This system may pose a fire hazard if not properly installed,
• Always take care not to create a short circuit between opposite polarities,
• This solar regulator employs positive switching. Never connect the positive outputs to a common point,
• It is highly recommended to install a 20A fuse in line with the positive polarity cable from the regulator to the battery,
• Do not attempt to charge any battery other than a 12V lead-acid battery with a capacity that is matched to the solar panel and load,
• Always ensure sufficient ventilation for the regulator and battery. The regulator should always be mounted on a vertical surface to ensure proper heat dissipation of the metal back plate,
• Ensure all terminal screws are tightened firmly,
• Keep the unit away from excessive moisture.
