Tri-Star three-function solar
controller.
Morningstar's TriStar Controller is a three-function
controller that provides reliable solar battery charging,
load control or diversion regulation.  The
controller operates in one of these modes at a time
and two or more controllers may be used to provide multiple
functions.
The TriStar used advanced technology and automated
production to provide exciting new features at a competitive
cost. The optional TriStar meter is the most sophisticated
and informative controller meter on the market. The
controller is UL listed and is designed for both solar
home systems and professional applications. |

|
Highest reliability |
| |
Large heatsink and conservative design enables
operating at full ratings to 45°C. No nead to derate. |
|
More power |
| |
Ratings to 60A at 48VDC will handle solar
arrays up to 4kW |
|
Communications capability |
| |
RS-232 connects to a personal computer for
custom settings, data logging and remote monitoring and
control. |
|
Fully adjustable |
| |
DIP switch provides user with a choice of
7 different digital presets and custom setting via RS-232 |
|
Extensive electronic protection |
| |
Fully protected against reverse polarity,
short circuit, overcurrent, high temperature and overvoltage |
|
Simple mechanical interface |
| |
Larger power terminals and conduit knockouts.
Extra space for wire turns. Fits on Xantrex power panels. |
|
Better battery charging |
| |
Connecting battery sense wires and optional
remote temperature sensor will improve control accuracy.
Constant voltage series PWM algorithm increases batetry
capacity and life. |
|
More information |
| |

information, automatic self-test and reset capabilities.
Meter connection via RJ-11 phone jack. |
|
Easy to reset |
| |
Pushbutton provides manual reset and stop/start
battery equalization or load disconnect. |
|
Low telecom noise |
| |
DIP switch setting will change PWM to "On-Off"
battery charging. |
