Installation
3.1 General Information
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 in-
stalled in a ventilated enclosure with suf
fi
cient air
fl
ow. Never install the TriStar MPPT in a sealed
enclosure. The controller may be mounted in an enclosure with sealed batteries, but never
with vented/
fl
ooded batteries. Battery fumes from vented batteries will corrode and destroy the
TriStar MPPT circuits.
Multiple TriStars can be installed in parallel on the same battery bank to achieve higher charging
current. Additional parallel controllers can also be added in the future. Each TriStar MPPT must
have its own solar array.
!
CAUTION: Equipment Damage or Risk of Explosion
Never install the TriStar MPPT in an enclosure with vented/fl ooded batteries. Battery
fumes are fl ammable and will corrode and destroy the TriStar MPPT circuits.
!
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
When installing the TriStar MPPT in an enclosure, ensure suffi cient ventilation.
Installation in a sealed enclosure will lead to over-heating and a decreased product
lifetime.

PRUDENCE : Endommagement de l’équipement ou risque d’explosion
N’installez jamais le TriStar MPPT dans une enceinte avec des batteries à évent/à
électrolyte liquide. Les vapeurs des batteries sont infl ammables et corroderont et
détruiront les circuits du TriStar MPPT.
!
PRUDENCE : Endommagement de l’équipement
Assurez une ventilation suffi sante en cas d’installation du TriStar MPPT dans une
enceinte. L’installation dans une enceinte hermétique entraîne une surchauffe et une
réduction de la durée de vie du produit.
The installation is straightforward, but it is important each step is done correctly and safely. A
mistake can lead to dangerous voltage and current levels. Be sure to carefully follow each in-
struction in this section. Read all instructions
fi
rst before beginning installation.
The installation instructions are for installation of a negative grounded system. National Electrical
Code (NEC) requirements are noted on occasion for convenience, however the installer should
have a complete understanding of NEC and UL requirements for photovoltaic installations.
