Regulator Specifications (purchased and shipped separately)
Model
CH200
Morningstar
SunSaver SS-10-12V
Temperature

Variable, depending on
battery manufacturer.
Selectable in DevConfig.
–28 mV/ºC
Self consumption:
300 µA to 2 mA
6 mA to 10 mA
Operating temperature: –40º to +60ºC
–40º to +85ºC
Useable solar current:
2.8 A to 4.3 A

Even though a solar panel’s “current at peak power” may exceed the CH200’s
“useable solar current” at noon, the higher output will be utilized during the
off-peak hours.
A second solar panel can be connected to the Morningstar
regulator when additional power is required. One Morningstar
SunSaver SS-10-12V regulator can handle two SP50 or SP85
solar panels.
