Figure 3-8. Remove the Wiring Divider
The Solar Terminal Bridge provides a safe path between the Solar power terminals and the
600V high voltage wiring area. The bridge is removable to allow access to the conduit knock-outs
below the bridge. To remove the bridge, gently pull the bridge straight out of the wiring box as
shown in figure 3-9.

Step 3 - Remove the Knock-Outs
Plan the routing of each cable that will connect to the TriStar MPPT 600V before removing any
knock-outs. The 1/2” (M20) knock-outs are ideal for routing network cables, which must be
placed in separate conduit from power conductors.
Use a flat head screwdriver to remove the necessary knock-outs. A hammer may also be re
-
quired to apply extra force. Refer to Section 3.2 for detailed knockout information.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Always use bushings, connectors, clamp connectors, or wire glands in the knock-out openings to
protect wiring from sharp edges.
PRUDENCE : Risque de décharge électrique
Utilisez toujours des bagues, des connecteurs, des raccordements à collets ou des fouloirs dans
les ouvertures afin de protéger le câblage des bords coupants.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Never route network cables in the same conduit as the power conductors.
AVERTISSEMENT: Risque de décharge électrique
N’acheminez jamais les câbles réseau dans le même conduit que les conducteurs
d’alimentation.
3.5 Mounting
The mounting location is important to the performance and operating life of the controller. The
environment must be dry and protected from water ingress. If required, the controller may be
installed in a ventilated enclosure with sufficient air flow. Never install the TriStar MPPT 600V in a
sealed enclosure. The controller may be mounted in an enclosure with sealed batteries, but never
with vented/flooded batteries. Battery fumes from vented batteries will corrode and destroy the
TriStar MPPT 600V circuits.
Step 4 - Mounting to a Vertical Surface
CAUTION: Risk of Burns
Install the TriStar MPPT 600V in a location that prevents casual contact. The TriStar MPPT 600V
heatsink can become very hot during operation.
ATTENTION : Risque de brûlures
i
nstallez le TriStar MPPT 600V 600V600V dans un endroit qui empêche le contact occasionnel. Le dissipateur
de chaleur TriStar MPPT 600V 600V600V peut devenir très chaude pendant le fonctionnement.
