<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Morningstar relay driver is a great device. It can measure 48VDC nominal and operate relays based on the measured voltage. The problem is that, if it is measuring 48VDC nominal, it outputs the same. </span>

<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace">
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Is there anything besides a charge controller that can measure 48 VDC nominal and put out a small 12VDC current? The 12VDC output of an Outback or Midnite charge control is perfect. </span></div>

<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If a relay driver, with several channels, could do this, it would be a very useful device. Does anything like this exist?</span></div>
