1 Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Xantrex C-Series Meter Display. The C-Series Meter Display is an optional accessory for the C-Series Multifunction DC controllers C35, C40 and C60. It provides a digital display of the voltage, current, and amp-hour status for the C-Series Multifunction DC Controller. The C-Series Meter Display comes in two versions: the faceplate (DVM/C40), which replaces the front cover. the remote (C40R/50 and C40R/100), which can be installed remotely up t

Warnings and Cautions WARNING: Explosion Hazard Do not use the C-Series Meter Display in the presence of flammable fumes or gases. Do not use the C-Series Meter Display in an enclosure containing automotive-type, lead-acid batteries. These batteries, unlike sealed batteries, vent explosive hydrogen gas, which can be ignited by sparks from electrical connections. WARNING: Shock Hazard Ensure all power sources are disconnected before proceeding. Failure to follow these safety guidelines may ca

Amp-Hour Reset and Backlight Button The amp-hour meter on the faceplate or remote can be reset by two different methods. Automatic resetting occurs when the C-Series Multifunction DC Controller is first connected and activated and each time its disconnected from the battery or the meter cable. To manually reset the amp-hour meter, press and hold the push-button on the front of the meter until the display resets. This button also activates or deactivates the backlight for the LCD when pres

Important: The green and red color of the LED only indicates the particular operating mode and the battery voltage level. It does not indicate whether the charging source is functioning properly. 4 Installation The following sections describe how to install the C-Series Meter Display. They include detailed instructions for the following steps. 1. Jumper Installation (Step 1): Set the voltage setting on the faceplate or remote to match the system voltage by installing the jumper over the app

Jumper Installation (Step 1) Four sets of jumpers are located on the right side of the circuit board on the back of the faceplate. Three jumpers set system voltage to 12 volts, 24 volts, or 48 volts. The fourth jumper dims the backlight on the display to conserve power and improve accuracy when longer cable runs are used. See Figure 5 for jumper locations. To enable a selection, carefully slide the jumper over the top of both pins. This is called installing the jumper. To disable a selectio

Cable Installation (Step 2) Connect the display to the controller using the serial communications cable provided. The cable is a six-conductor telephone cable with modular-type connectors (RJ-15). Although any telephone-type cable will work, the cables provided with the displays use stranded and tin-plated wire for better performance and longer life. The following instructions are illustrated in Figure 6. To connect the Faceplate to the C-Series controller: 1. Remove the front cover of the

To connect the remote: 1. Remove the front cover of the C-Series controller by removing the four screws on the front cover of the unit. 2. Route one end of the serial communications cable (SCC) through a knockout on the controller. Use a strain relief to hold and protect the cable. 3. Plug this end of the yellow cable into the RJ-15 Port on the circuit of the controller. 4. Route the other end of the SCC to where the remote display will be located.

Mounting the Remote (Step 3) The remote can be permanently installed in a wall or cabinet. The unit can also be flush-mounted into a rectangular opening in a wall or surface-mounted using a double-gang, non-metallic outlet box. To flush mount the remote, an opening must be cut in the backing material to allow room for the circuit board, wires, and connectors. Allow at least 1 ½ inch minimum clearance behind the circuit board for the connectors and wires. Important: Use great care when cutti
