& layout
MSK-10A is a 10A rated, Series Type of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Charge Control-
ler. It is based on an advanced design using a microcontroller for digital accuracy and
fully automatic operation. It can be used for 12V or 24V systems for solar charging.
PWM battery charging has been optimized for longer battery life. The unit is designed
for user-friendly operation. Please take the time to read this owner’s Manual and follow
the instructions step by step to help you make full use of the charging system.
FeAtUReS
- Advanced microcontroller based, high performance design for digital accuracy and fully
automatic and intelligent operation
- Series Type PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) charging for low loss, higher efficiency
charging and longer battery life
- Up to 50V open Circuit Voltage (Voc) and up to 10A Short Circuit Current (Isc) of PV
Panel(s) - enables use of up to 150W of 12V Nominal panels for 12V battery and up to
300W, 24V Nominal panels for 24V Nominal battery.
- Dual voltage capability – can be used with 12V / 24V Nominal PV Panel(s) / batteries. 12V /
24V Nominal battery System is detected automatically: battery voltage < 18V is detected as
12V Nominal battery and >18V is detected as 24V Nominal battery
- 4 Stages of charging for 100% return of capacity and long battery life – bulk, Absorption,
float and equalization Stages
- Choice to select charging parameters for 3 battery types - flooded, Sealed AGM or Sealed
Gel Cell for complete and safe charging.
- User friendly LeD display for monitoring of operation and self diagnostics for
troubleshooting
- Integrated Temperature Sensor for temperature compensation to ensure improved
charging of batteries that experience wider temperature variations during the year
- MoSfeT based reverse current blocking for night-time battery discharge prevention. This
allows much lower losses as compared to Diode based blocking
- electronic protections: over charging, over discharging, over heating and overload and
short circuit on the Load Terminals.
- reverse polarity protection: any combination of PV Panel(s) and battery
