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

(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.
