NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protec-
tion against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communication. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
• Re-orient or re-locate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numerique de la classe B est conforme a la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
2.3 Versions and Ratings
There are two versions of TriStar MPPT 600V controller:
TS-MPPT-60-600V-48

• 48 volt DC systems
• Maximum 600 volt DC solar input voltage
• RS-232, EIA-485, MeterBus
TM
, and Ethernet communication ports
TS-MPPT-60-600V-48-DB
• Maximum 60 amps continuous battery current
• 48 volt DC systems
• Maximum 600 volt DC solar input voltage
• RS-232, EIA-485, MeterBus
TM
, and Ethernet communication ports
• Includes enhanced wiring Disconnect Box (DB) with PV and battery disconnect switches
To comply with the National Electric Code (NEC), the current rating of the controller must be
equal to or greater than 125% of the power source’s short circuit current output (Isc). Therefore,
the maximum allowable power source input to the TriStar MPPT 600V controller for compliance
with the NEC is 48 amps Isc*
