Fox Solar Regulators


Why is a controller needed?
The main function of the solar regulator or controller is to keep batteries fully charged. The solar controller regulates the flow of electricity from a solar panel to the battery without allowing the battery to be overcharged and at the same time prevents current flowing back from the battery to the solar panel during night. A solar charge controller constantly monitors the battery voltage. When the batteries are fully charged, the controller will stop or decrease the amount of current flowing from the solar panels into the battery. When the batteries are being discharged to a low level, many controllers will stop the current flowing from the battery to the DC Load.

Naturally, without overcharge protection the life expectancy of batteries are reduced. Controllers vary in type from simple controllers to more sophisticated controllers that utilize pulse width modulation (PWM) or maximum power point tracking (MPPT) to assure the battery is being kept fully charged.

Installation Manual

Fox 250 12V Single Battery Models.
Ideal for battery banks on board motor homes, caravans & yachts where a single battery bank (one or more batteries in parallel) requires charging. Choose either the simple to mount Surface version, only 2 fixing screws required or the recessed version for a built in finish.

Fox 350 12/24V Dual Battery Models
The Fox 350 includes all the standard features with additional detailed information on the LCD display including battery state of charge percentage. This unit is ideal where 2 battery banks are installed and typically both require top up, particularly whilst unattended. The system’s built in logic charges battery 1 first and ensures it has remained at the final level of 3 stage charging for 1 hour before changing over to battery bank 2. There’s also even an emergency charge function that activates charge to battery 2 if it falls below 10.8V providing battery 1 has more than 11.5V.

Fox Remote Display
A discreet digital display unit for remote installation from a regulator enabling the user to view information at a secondary location. Max distance from regulator is 3M. Available in surface, Fox D/1 and recessed Fox D/1E models.

Fox 250 and 350 models include the following features:

  • Digital display of charge and load currents, Volts and warnings
  • Soft touch keypad to scroll through display and program settings
  • Latest pulse width modulation technology with built in temperature compensation to ensure the most efficient battery charging
  • Manual switch for controlling loads on and off
    •  
  • Reverse polarity protected and 2 year warranty
