The above solar panel characteristics assume a 1 kilowatt per
square meter illumination and a solar panel temperature of 25

°C.

Individual panels may vary up to 5%. The output panel voltage
increases as the panel temperature decreases.

TABLE 2-2. Regulator Specifications (purchased and shipped separately)

Model

CH200

Morningstar SunSaver

SS-10-12V

Temperature
compensation:

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

10 A

Pairing the CH200 with the SP90 allows the CH200 to operate at the maximum
Useable Solar Current of 4.3 A for longer periods of time than it would with a
smaller panel. As the SP90 output current increases above 4.3 A, the CH200
will continue to function at the maximum useable solar current of 4.3. It will
remain at this level until the SP90 output once again drops below 4.3 A.

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 SP90
solar panels.
