Plasmatronics PL80e Solar Charge Controller, 80A, 12–48V, 40A Load

Plasmatronics solar charge controller listed in the title as PL80e, with an 80A charge rating and separate 40A load circuit. The detailed source describes the PL80; confirm the full model on the supplied unit and the applicable specifications with MIS.

PL80 specifications recorded in the source

• Australian Made; PWM regulator
• Up to 80A solar-panel current input
• Source power examples: 960W @12V, 1920W @24V, 3840W @48V
• Separate load circuit: up to 40A
• System voltages: 12, 24, 32, 36 and 48V
• Up to three PL80 units with a PLA for 240A charge current — a multi-unit arrangement, not a single-unit rating
• LCD display with labelled readings
• Adjustable settings stored in nonvolatile memory
• Daily load and charge Ah plus state of charge recorded for 30 days
• 30-day history also records maximum/minimum battery voltage and float times
• Four regulation stages: Boost, Absorption, Float and Equalization, as appropriate for the battery type
• Generator control with four modes and a quiet-time option
• Event controller/timer switches Load and/or General-Purpose terminals under user-specified conditions, for applications such as pumps, lights and motors
• Adjustable high/low battery-voltage alarm output for an external alarm device
• Second-battery charging control uses a relay-switching signal when the main battery is full
• PLM remote display accesses functions from up to 100 metres away and fits a standard light-switch mounting plate
• Optional PLI computer interface for downloading data and changing settings, including modem-based remote-site use
• Source-listed protection against short circuits, reverse flow and lightning; low-battery load disconnect; current limiting for over-temperature or over-current
• Full conformal coating described as corrosion protection
• Up to two external shunts with optional DC-isolated PLS2 adaptors can include inverter, charger and other currents in Ah and state-of-charge readings

Confirm the PL80e/PL80 identification, battery compatibility, settings and included accessories before ordering. PLA, PLI, PLM, PLS2, shunts, relays and alarm devices are not established as included. The protection descriptions are source claims, not a guarantee against every fault or lightning event; the source does not specify a maximum PV open-circuit voltage.
