Installation

           3.    

Only route high voltage solar circuit conductors in the high voltage wiring zone and low 

             voltage battery and network conductors within the low voltage zone. Refer to section 3.2 for      

             more information.

        

        

       WARNING:  Risk of Damage

Be very certain that the battery connection is made with correct polarity, 

otherwise,    

 damage will occur.

. Turn on the battery breaker/disconnect and measure the voltage on the 

open battery wires BEFORE connecting to the TriStar MPPT 600V. Disconnect the battery 
breaker/disconnect before wiring to the controller.

AVERTISSEMENT :  Risque d’endommagement

        Assurez-vous que la connexion a la batterie est effectuée avec la polarité correcte.  

        dans le cas contraire, subira des dommages. Activez le coupe-circuit/interrupteur de la  
        batterie et mesure la tension sur les câbles ouverts AVANT la connexion au TriStar  
        MPPT 600V. Déconnectez le coupe-circuit/interrupteur de la batterie avant le câblage  
        sur le contrôleur.

        WARNING:  Risk of Damage
        Be very certain that the solar connection is made with correct polarity, 

otherwise,    

        damage will occur.

. Turn on the solar power source breaker/disconnect and measure the  

        voltage on the open wires BEFORE  connecting  to the TriStar MPPT 600V. Open the solar  
        breaker/disconnect before wiring to the controller.

    AVERTISSEMENT:  Risque d’endommagement

    Assurez-vous que la connexion solaire est effectuée avec la polarité correcte, dans le cas contraire,   

    subira des dommages. . Activez le coupe-circuit/interrupteur de réseau solaire et mesure la tension sur  
    les câbles ouverts AVANT la connexion au TriStar MPPT 600V. Déconnectez le coupe-circuit/ 
    interrupteur solaire avant le câblage sur le contrôleur.

           

NOTE:

  

Tighten all new screw terminal connections to specified torque values

   

REMARQUE :

  

Serrer toutes les nouvelles connexions terminal vis au couple spécifié de valeurs

4.  IMPORTANT:  Tighten all factory pre-wired screw terminal connections to specified     

               torque values.

5.  Connect the battery (+) wire to an available terminal on the battery (+) block as in (B+), and   

                then connect the battery (-) wire to an available terminal on the battery (-) block as in (B-).

   6.  

Connect the TriStar MPPT 600V battery (+) wire (using a properly sized inline external breaker, 

   if required by code) at the battery, to the system battery (+) post; then connect the  battery (-) 
   wire to the system battery (-) post (system battery not shown).

          7.  Connect the solar (+) wire to an available terminal on the solar (+) block as in (S+), and  

               connect the solar (-) wire to an available terminal on the solar (-) block as in (S-).
          8.  Replace the Wiring Divider (removed in Step 2 on page 24) over the solar wires, and    

              secure it with the M4 screw provided.

Step 7 - Remote Temperature Sensor

The included Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS) is recommended for effective temperature  

compensated charging.  Connect the RTS to the 2-position terminal located between the push-

button and the LEDs (see figure 2-1 on p. 13). The RTS is supplied with 33 ft (10 m) of 22 AWG 

(0.34 mm

2

) cable.  There is no polarity, so either wire (+ or -) can be connected to either screw 

terminal.  The RTS cable may be pulled through conduit along with the power wires. Tighten the 

connector screws to 5 in-lb (0.56 Nm) of torque. Separate installation instructions are provided 

inside the RTS bag.

            

WARNING:  Risk of Fire.

                                                                           

                        

If no Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS) is connected, use the TriStar MPPT 600V 

           within 3m (10 ft)  of the batteries.  Internal  Temperature Compensation will be used if 

           the RTS is not  connected.  Use of the RTS is strongly recommended.

           

AVERTISSEMENT:  Risque d’incendie.

  

                         

Si non Capteur de température distant (RTS) est connecté, utilisez le MPPT ProStar  moins de 3m (10 pi)  

            de les batteries. Compensation de la température interne sera utilisée si la RTS  n’est pas connecté.       
            Utilisation de la RTS est fortement recommandé.

!

CAUTION:  
The TriStar MPPT 600V will not temperature compensate charging parameters if the RTS is not 
used.

!

CAUTION: Equipment Damage  
Never place the temperature sensor inside a battery cell.  Both the RTS and the battery will be 
damaged.

NOTE:  
The RTS cable may be shortened if the full length is not needed.  Be sure to reinstall the ferrite 
choke on the end of the RTS if a length of cable is removed. This choke ensures compliance with 
electromagnetic emissions standards.

!

PRUDENCE :  
Le TriStar MPPT 600V 600Vne compense pas la température des paramètres de charges si le 
RTS n’est pas utilisé.

!

PRUDENCE : Endommagement de l’équipement   
Ne placez jamais la sonde de température dans un élément de batterie.  Le RTS et la batterie 
seraient endommagés.

REMARQUE :  
Le câble de RTS peut être raccourci si la totalité de la longueur n’est pas nécessaire.  Assurez-
vous de réinstaller la bobine en ferrite sur l’extrémité du RTS si une longueur de câble est 
enlevée. Cette bobine assure la conformité avec les normes d’émissions électromagnétiques.

Step 8 - Battery Voltage Sense

WARNING: Fire Hazard

           When  connecting  Battery  Sense  Wires,  install  a  5  Amp  fuse  in  the  (+)  sense  wire,  six  inches                                                                                    
           from the (+) battery terminal.
