TriStar MPPT-600V-TR Operator's Manual
Step 5 - Network Connections
Network connections allow the TS-MPPT-600V-TR to communicate with other controllers or
computers. A network can be as simple as one controller and one PC, or as complex as dozens
of controllers monitored via the internet. Review section 5.0 for more information about
networking and the connection(s) required for your system.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Only route network cables in the same conduit as the photovoltaic power conductors if all
conductors are rated for 600V.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Only use 300 volt or higher UL rated communication cable.
AVERTISSEMENT: Risque de décharge électrique
Seulement acheminez les câbles de réseau dans le même conduit que les conducteurs
d'alimentation si tous les conducteurs sont évalués à 600 V.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de décharge électrique
Utilisez uniquement 300 volts ou supérieur UL câble de communication.
Connect the appropriate network cables to the TS-MPPT-600V-TR at this time. Access to the
network ports is easier before the battery power cables are attached. The ports are located inside
the conduit wiring box on the lower circuit board as shown in figure 3-8.
