Alden regulators

[Pete-B]

Hi,

 

Does anyone have any information about solar panel regulators? I've got a 100Watt solar panel which feeds into a Alden SPS 180 (well that's what the name says on it) it has five led's on the front in various stages of being lit up and I would like to know what they indicate

 

If I go on to google and type in Alden SPS 180 it comes up with a model which looks completely different to mine. Thanks for any help.

I can find references to two types of SPS180.

 

This one has 5 LEDs on it (the other doesn't).

The status of the LEDs translates as follows:

 

LED operation:

Light load:

- On: the battery is charging.

- Blinking: The battery is charging end phase.

- Off: The battery is fully charged.

3 red LEDs indicate the charge level of the battery.
