FOX-320
Thank you for purchasing the FOX-320 with state-of-the-art control
technology. Its other advantages are its easy-to-use operation, slick
design and expendability. The specifically developed charge
characteristic curves will extract the maximum power from your solar
modules and store it completely in the batteries. We hope you will
enjoy your solar installation.
The FOX-320 is a solar charge controller for modulated currents up to
20 A, suitable for AGM, gel and lead acid batteries. Consumers can be
connected up to a current consumption of 20 A maximum. The
adaptive total discharge protection monitors and protects the battery
against damaging total discharge, and alternatively the nightlight
function can be used. When using the nightlight function, a consumer
will be switched on during the time the modules do not supply charge
current (i.e. when it is dark). Ideal for the operation of an orientation
light or small lights for the prevention of break-ins.
The optimised charge characteristic curve in combination with the
hardware PWM control achieves a distinctly faster and gentler
charging of the battery; hazardous gassing or overcharging are safely
prevented.
The FOX-320 can charge two battery systems. Ex factory, 90 % of the
power are charged to battery 1 and 10 % of the power to battery 2.
The consumer current is always taken from battery 1.
On switching on, the controller recognises fully automatically whether
a 12 V or 24 V battery system is connected. The active battery cut-out
ensures the protection against reverse current and allows for an
extremely low voltage drop between module and battery.
The charge controller can be operated in parallel to other charging
devices (such as alternators, generators, fuel cells).
