The automatic float stage is beneficial for systems that transmit

occasionally as it keeps batteries topped off for extended periods of time without risk of overcharging.

Self-Diagnostic to detect critical faults

The SS Generation 3 includes a multi-color status

LED as well as 3 Battery LED’s. Together these

can indicate up to 13 possible error conditions.

When the controller is functioning properly it is

clearly indicated by the status LED as green.

All faults are electronic and reset

automatically when resolved.

(the SunSaver does not require any

internal fuses)
