conductor free out of the connection screw, and
possible contact with the metal enclosure.
• (3) ferrite chokes are included for individual installation
around an RTS cable, a Meterbus cable and a heat-
sink ground wire, if used. Each wire must be looped
(at least once) through a ferrite choke, as close to the
ProStar MPPT as possible, to meet FCC Class B EMI
requirements.
CAUTION:
For hazardous location-IECEx/ATEX applications,
see the addendum - part no. MS-003244-EN -
to this manual.

WARNING:
Solar and battery fuses or DC breakers
are required in the system. These protection devices are
external to the ProStar MPPT controller, and must be a maximum
of 30 amps for the PS-MPPT-25/M and 50 amps for the PS-MPPT-
40/M.
AVERTISSEMENT:
Solaire et batterie fusibles ou
disjoncteurs DC sont nécessaires dans le système. Ces
dispositifs de protection sont externes au contrôleur MPPT
ProStar et doivent être un maximum de 30 ampères pour le
PS-MPPT-25/M et 50 ampères pour le PS-MPPT-40/M.
WARNING:
Installation must comply with all
US National Electrical Code and Canadian Electrical
Code requirments. Breakers and fuses may require lower ratings
than referenced above, so as not to exceed any specific wire
ampacity.
AVERTISSEMENT:
Installation doit être conforme à
toutes les requirments US National Electrical Code et
Code Canadien d'Electricité. Disjoncteurs et fusibles peuvent
exiger des cotes inférieures que mentionnés ci-dessus de manière
à ne pas pour dépasser n'importe quel fils particulier admissible.

WARNING:
Minimum over-current protection
device interrupt ratings must be 2000A for 12V
systems, and 4000A for 24V systems.
AVERTISSEMENT
: Protection contre les
surintensités minimum cotes d'interruption de
périphérique doivent être de 2000 a 12V systèmes et 4000 a pour
les systèmes de 24V.
