Kyocera LYNCOM PV12 User manual

Lyncom’s microprocessor based charge controllers incorporate state-of-the-art design and
advanced pulse-width-modulation (PWM) battery charging operation, offering the highest
quality and more features than comparably priced PV controllers. Field proven PWM design
for battery charging, reduces water loss,
extends battery life, and allows more daily
amp-hours into the battery as compared to
traditional “on-off” controllers.
Model PV12 is an advanced PV system
battery charge and load controller for12
volt solar systems rated up to 12 amps,
charge & load, intended for PV applications
such asremote homes, cabins, houseboats,
RV’s, park facilities, campgrounds or telemetry sites.
The PV12 has three system status LED’s: system
charging, battery full & battery low. The reverse polari-
ty protection circuit features a reverse polarity red LED
for PV or battery, ensuring proper hook up.
Model PV12M is a system controller featuringabuilt-in LCD digital system monitor which
accurately displays batteryvoltage,and pushbuttons display PV and load currents.
Two system charge status LED’s andreverse polarity redLED also includedwith PV12M.
A low voltage load disconnect circuit (LVD) is standard on both models and prevents
battery over-discharge during extended overcast periods.
