2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
2.3 Optional Accessories
The following accessories are available for purchase
separately from your authorized Morningstar dealer.
Remote Temperature Sensor (Model: RTS)
The RTS measures battery temperature for accurate temperature
compensation and is recommended when the ambient battery
temperature differs from the ambient controller temperature by
+/- 5 degrees C or more. An RTS can be attached to the SunSaver
MPPT at any time. The SunSaver MPPT will automatically use the
RTS for battery temperature compensation when installed. The
standard cable length is 33 ft (10 m), and can be extended to 100
ft (30 m) if required. Installation instructions are provided with the
RTS.
NOTE: The use of a Remote Temperature Sensor is
strongly recommended. Controller location, air flow, and
system power can drastically affect the local temperature
sensor reading. A RTS will provide optimal charging
performance.
Remote Meter (Model: RM-1)
The digital
Remote Meter
displays system operating information,
error indications, and self-diagnostic read-out. Information is
displayed on a backlit 4-digit custom LCD display. The large
numerical display and icons are easy to read and large buttons
make navigating the meter menus easy. Additionally, a status LED
and three (3) battery SOC LEDs provide system status at a glance.
The meter can be flush mounted in a wall or surface mounted
using the mounting frame (included). The RM-1 is supplied with 33
ft (10.0 m) of cable, a mounting frame, and mounting screws. The
RM-1 connects to the RJ- 11 Meter port on the SunSaver MPPT.
PC MeterBus Adapter
TM
(Model: MSC)
The
MSC
converts the MeterBus RJ-11 electrical interface to an
isolated standard RS-232 interface which enables communication
between the SunSaver MPPT and a personal computer (PC). The
MSC
is required for programming custom charging setpoints and for
logging data. See
Section 4.7 Programming Custom Setpoints.
