available via the ME-ARC Remote
The PT-100 is a Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) charge controller designed
to harvest the maximum available energy from the PV array and deliver it to the
batteries. The PT-100s MPPT algorithm finds the maximum power point of the array
and operates at this point while regulating the output current to 100 amps and battery
voltage to fully charge the battery.
Features
High Efficiency: The PT-100 provides
higher than 99% conversion efficiency
and uses less than two watts of power
in nighttime mode.
MPPT: Maximum Power Point
Tracking technology for increased
PV power output efficiency.
Voltage Options: Compatible with
12, 24, or 48V battery systems with
automatic detection of system voltage.
The PT-100 will produce up to 100
amps regardless of battery voltage.
Supports a Large PV Array:
A single controller supports a large
PV array up to 6600W. Larger PV
arrays may be used because the PT-100
is current limited to 100 amps for
maximum harvest.
Optimal Battery Charging:
Automatic battery temperature
compensation using an included
external temperature sensor for
optimum battery charging, even during
extreme temperature changes.
Multi-stage Charging:
Maximizes system performance
and improves battery life.
GFDI: Integrated PV GroundFault Detection and Interruption/
Indication, with pre-fault leakage/
diagnostic metering.
LED Indicators and Screen:
Multiple LED indicators and large
digital LED screen on front panel for
easy-to-read system information.
On-site Updates: The PT-100s
software can be updated on site.
Extensive Electronic Protection:
Over-temperature protection, power
derating when temperature is high,
PV short circuit and high PV input
shutdown, output overcurrent
protection and night-time back-feed
(reverse current) protection.
AFCI: An integrated PV ArcFault Circuit Interrupter detects,
indicates, and extinguishes series arcs.
The AFCI is designed to meet the new
National Electric Code (NEC) Article
690.11 requirements.
Convenient Installation: Run all of
the wiring to the unique, remain-inplace wiring box with ease prior to
installing the full PT-100 unit.
Easy MP and MMP integration:
The PT-100 is designed to work with
a Magnum Panel (MP) or MiniMagnum Panel (MMP). It provides
room and access to PV and battery
disconnect breakers.
Even More Functionality with
the Optional Remote
Built-in programmable auxiliary relay
for device control.
Internal data logging functionality
keeps energy harvest information and
battery Ahr/Whr data up to 255 days.
Use the optional remote to display
this information.
