Phocos CX48v (20 – 40 A) Solar Charge Controller with LCD Display


The CX48 Series offers outstanding features for its class.
Along with a PWM charge controller with integrated
temperature compensation, the CX controller comes
equipped with an extensive range of control, programming
and safety functions. The battery charge status is continuously
displayed via a bar graph, including the input and output
current of the battery as well as the load status (e.g.
overloading, load short circuiting). The deep discharge
protection mode has 5 settings: two fixed voltages, two
charging states or adaptive (for battery protection). An
audible alarm and a programmable nightlight function are
standard on all CX controllers.
