[. . . ] LYNCOM MODEL PV12T PV SYSTEM LIGHTING CONTROLLER Lyncom's microprocessor based charge controllers incorporate state-of-the-art design and advanced pulse-width-modulation (PWM) battery charging operation, offering the highest quality and more features than comparably priced PV controllers. [. . . ] Model PV12T features an automatic load timer, which senses dusk by the solar array and initiates the lighting time period, which is field adjustable. When the timer circuit is `0' (defeated), PV12T can also be used as a continuous load controller with LVD. The Model PV12T lighting timer operation can be pre-set from 0 to 10 hours continuously adjustable or from dusk to dawn. A low battery voltage load disconnect circuit (LVD) prevents battery over-discharge during extended overcast periods. The PV12T has three system status LED's: system charging, battery full and battery low. The reverse polarity protection circuit features a reverse polarity red LED for PV or battery, ensuring proper hook up.
