2 ROGUE TERRAIN OFF GRID POWER SUPPLY ENCLOSURE
ROGUE TERRAIN
OFF GRID POWER SUPPLY ENCLOSURE
OVERVIEW
The Rogue Terrain packaged charge controller consists of a powder-coated
steel equipment enclosure with a hinged latching cover that includes a Rogue
Engineering 5 Amp or 10 Amp solar battery charger, an optional 15 Amp
Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) device, mounting space and a retainer for a
customer-provided 12 Volt 12 Amp Hour (AH) battery and associated fuse
and wiring distribution blocks. All electronic devices within the controller
are DIN rail mounted. Approximately eight (8) inches of open DIN rail space
is available within the enclosure for the customer’s use in mounting their
unique equipment.
Three weather-proof cable grips are provided in the bottom of the enclosure
to provide secure egress for battery, solar and output / load wiring.
Battery, Solar and Load wiring connection points on appropriate DIN rail
mounted through- and fuse- blocks are clearly identied.
A .25 inch round opening, normally protected with a plastic plug, is oered
on the upper right side of the enclosure to allow the mounting of a customer-
provided antenna if radio equipment is to be placed in the customer
equipment space.
If the controller is to be used with a customer-provided internal battery, the
battery will be securely mounted in the base of the enclosure utilizing a nylon
strap / buckle retainer.
Battery charging capacity is limited to 5 Amps or 10 Amps depending upon
which charge controller is utilized and is protected at those levels by the Solar
and Battery fuses which will be sized at 5 Amps or 10 Amps accordingly.
The Load output, regardless of whether or not the optional Low Voltage
Disconnect (LVD) device is utilized is limited to and fused at 15 Amps and is
independent of the 5 Amp or 10 Amp battery charging fuse. This allows the
Rogue Terrain, even if limited to a 5 Amp or 10 Amp charge current rate, to
provide an output of up to 15 Amps for a limited period of time. It must be
recognized that depletion of the battery through a prolonged high current
load will signicantly impact the 5 Amp or 10 Amp recharge interval.
Note that although the 5 Amp charger label identies it as a 6 / 12 VDC device
and the 10 Amp charger label identies it as a 12 / 24 VDC device the Rogue
Terrain “500 and 1000 Series’’ are designed for 12 VDC operation only.
