MORE POWER - As your
power needs increase, add an additional Kid and more solar panels to your
array for twice the power from a single run of PV wires.
AUTO GENSTART (AGS) -
The Kid is available with a 2-wire Smart AGS. The Kid Smart AGS will
start a generator and then monitor the batteries to ensure proper
charging. If the AGS fails to charge, the generator will be turned off
saving fuel. AGS is user adjustable.
BATTERIES - The Kid can
charge 12, 24, 36 or 48 volt battery banks. It supports charging traditional
flooded, AGM or Gel batteries and newer technologies such as Lithium and
Calcium SMF.
LOAD CIRCUIT - A unique
feature of the Kid is the load circuit. This versatile feature can be used
for many purposes including running well pumps, electric fences, or
billboard lights in remote areas.
LOAD DUMPING - The Kid
has a mode that allows excess energy coming in from the PV array to be
diverted to run hot water heaters or other electrical loads. This feature
ensures you get the most out of your Kid during times of peak energy
production.
CUSTOMIZABLE LIGHTING
CONTROLLER - The Kid sports a highly customizable lighting controller. It
can be set to turn on automatically at dusk, off at a specified time, and
then back on at another preset time and off automatically at dawn. This is
called Dusk Plus and Dawn Minus. Using Dusk Plus and Dawn Minus has the
distinct advantage of saving battery power. This setting is great for accent
lighting in residential areas or for running grow lights in greenhouses.
LCD & LED MONITORING
-
All parameters of your Renewable Energy System can be monitored right from
the LCD display. LEDs indicate if your batteries have been fully charged in
the last 2 weeks, numerical read outs show PV input and battery voltage, as
well as state of charge.
CURRENT SENSING MODULE -
Add the Whizbang Jr, our current sense module to the mix and you have a
complete State of Charge Meter.
