flexcharge 12 volt dc programmable digital timer   Click onto image for a larger view.
1) Flexcharge Programmable Digital 12 volt d.c. timer and  
     load controller.
     Each day can be programed with its own unique timing pattern and
     eight on and eight off events can be programed independantly.
     The timer operates on 12 volt d.c. and can control either
     d.c. or a.c. loads.
     It can handle an a.c. load up to 120 volts through the switching side
     of the timer.

     click onto the following link:   Flexcharge Timer Wiring  
     The internal battery maintains clock and memory for up to 3 months
     without external power.
     Consumes less than 3 ma in standby mode and 15 ma when the
     switch turns on.
     Runs up to an 8 amp inductive (motors or loads that surge) or a 16 amp
     resistive (lighting or heat) load.
     Also has manual on/off override.
     Display and controls have a removeable plastic cover.
     Easy to set up with the handy wire terminals on the bottom.

12 or 24 volt timer switch  12 and 24 volt countdown timer close up

2 - A)
     Timer switch (count-down timer) from Light It Technologies
     for both 12 or 24 volt d.c.
     This switch will work on either 12 or 24 volt d.c. - it automatically
     senses the voltage you are using and outputs the incoming voltage.
     It will operate a load up to 6 amps.
     You can adjust the run time from approximately 55 seconds to
     3-1/2 hours.
     Once set, using the yellow time adjustment wheel shown in the pictures,
     you just press the button.
     The load will go on and run the set time - the led indicator light shows
     that the unit is connected to power.
     It also has an extra pair of wires which allow you to remotely start the
     count-down timer.   
     Due to the advanced microprocessor, the housing should be grounded
     to bleed off any static charges.
     Not to be exposed to rainfall nor moisture.
     The housing is 2-1/16" long, 1-13/16 front to back and 1" tall.
     The mounting plate is app. 3-1/4" long by 2" front to back and the spacing
     of the two mounting holes is app. 2-15/16" center to center.
     One year limited warranty by Light It Technologies.

For more information about Linear Current Boosters please
click onto the following link:

Solar Converters, Inc.
2) Linear Current Boosters for pumping applications:
solar converters linear current booster

A linear current booster allows a pump to run longer throughout
the day when connected directly to a photovoltaic module.
It will start earlier in the day and run later in the day than in a
module to pump only system.

When considering a linear current booster please make sure
that your modules are sized large enough to run your pump
properly.
These LCB's are designed to shut down the pump if the incoming
power is low enough to damage it.
There have been instances where the panels were undersized for the
pump and would just operate it when connected directly to the pump.
In a case such as this, the LCB will not let the pump run to prevent
damage to the pump.  
The amperage ratings are the actual ratings after being derated
for long term use.
Custom output voltages can be special ordered.
We can special order higher voltages and current ratings,
please call us for pricing and availability.
 
Model # PPT 12 - 2

Input: 0 to 24 volt d.c. from a photovoltaic module(s) (15 volt nominal)
          0 to 3 amps
Output Voltage: defined by the load and panel
          0 to 3 amps
Start Current: 15 amps for 10 seconds
It is highly recommended that an external fuse be incorporated.
This model is capable of putting a continuous 15 amps into a stalled
motor even from only 2 amps worth of photovoltaic modules which can
result in a motor burnout and damage to the linear current booster.
When a motor fails a fuse will protect the LCB.
