Xantrex C-Series Digital Remote, 50-Foot Cable

The Xantrex C-Series Digital Remote shows voltage and controller information for C35, C40 and C60 controllers, with a 50-foot cable.

Fifty feet is what allows the controller to stay near the batteries while the display goes somewhere visible. A charge controller belongs close to the bank to keep the charging cable short, and that position is almost never where anyone would read a display.

It covers the C35, C40 and C60 but not the smaller C12. Checking the controller model before ordering avoids a remote that will not connect to what is installed.

The display gives voltage and controller status rather than full system monitoring. That is enough for the question people actually ask of a solar installation: whether it is charging and what the bank is sitting at. Explore more power system monitoring and control.
