Intelligent alternator regulator with precise charging control and CAN integration

This advanced alternator regulator provides accurate, configurable charging management for 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V electrical systems. It dynamically controls alternator output based on voltage, current, and temperature, allowing fine alignment with battery manufacturer recommendations. With selectable alternator polarity, preset battery profiles, CAN integration, temperature sensing, USB configurability, and application-based tuning, it delivers flexible, safe, and efficient charging for modern battery banks in marine, vehicle, and off-grid installations.

Key Features

• Automatic system voltage detection: Supports 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V systems with fully customisable operating range up to 48/52 V.
• Selectable alternator polarity: Compatible with both P-type and N-type alternators using the appropriate wiring harness.
• Three-parameter charge regulation: Controls alternator output using voltage, current, and temperature targets to achieve accurate, safe battery charging.
• Integrated sensing inputs: Uses voltage sense wiring, calibrated shunt input, alternator temperature sensor, and battery temperature data for adaptive charge response.
• Preset and configurable charge profiles: Includes eight selectable battery programs and flexible profile criteria based on system voltage, acceptance current, temperatures, and time.
• Extended temperature charging support: Dynamically limits charging to protect batteries and alternators when operating outside normal temperature ranges.
