ProStar Controllers

There are four different ProStar controller models that may be
installed in the solar power systems.

l

PS-15 (15A rating)

l

PS-15M (15A rating, with digital meter option included)

l

PS-30 (30A rating)

l

PS-30M (30A rating, with digital meter option included)

Figure 102  – ProStar Controllers

The ProStar controllers have three LEDs which indicate charging
status, battery status, and various faults.

Charging Status

For charging status indications, see Table 19.

LED Color

Charging Status

Green

l

ON

: battery charging during sunlight (always on during

sunlight).

l

OFF

: normal during night (off during sunlight indicates solar

reverse polarity or overcurrent).
