Description

The SCM40 PWM is a dependable solar charge regulator that uses Pulse Width Modulation to charge your batteries from solar energy. It suits both 36-cell panels in 12V systems and 72-cell panels in 24V systems, automatically detecting the battery voltage, and is rated for a higher 40A charge current to support larger panel arrays.

Built for marine and mobile environments, the SCM40 PWM is protected against water spray, copes with high ambient temperatures and is compatible with common negative grounding. It works with all types of lead-acid battery (AGM, Gel and flooded) at either 12V or 24V.

A large backlit display keeps the solar yield, battery voltage and charge status clearly in view, and a switchable output with an evening and night lighting function lets it control a load such as cabin or deck lighting. An optional battery temperature sensor is available for improved charging accuracy.

How much solar can the SCM40 PWM handle?
It is rated for a 40 A charge and PV current, with recommended PV power up to 720 Wp on a 12 V system and 1440 Wp on a 24 V system.
How is the SCM40 different from the SCM20 PWM?
The SCM40 PWM offers double the charge current of the SCM20 (40 A versus 20 A) and supports larger panel arrays. Both share the same compact casing, switchable output and 12/24 V lead-acid compatibility.
Which batteries does it support?
The SCM40 PWM is suitable for all types of lead-acid battery, including AGM, Gel and flooded, in both 12 V and 24 V systems.
What is the switchable output used for?
The switchable output (max. 40 A) has an evening and night lighting function, so it can automatically control a load such as cabin or deck lighting based on solar conditions.
Is it suitable for marine use?
Yes. It is protected against water spray to IP23, copes with high ambient temperatures and uses common negative grounding, making it well suited to marine and mobile installations.
