Product Description
Morningstar TriStar TS 60 12/24/48 Volt 60 Amp Solar Charge Controller
Morningstar TriStar TS 65 12/24/48 Volt 65 Amp Solar Charge Controller
Morningstar's TriStar Controller is a three-function controller that provides reliable solar battery charging, load control or diversion regulation. The controller operates in one of these modes at a time and two or more controllers may be used to provide multiple functions.
The TriStar uses advanced technology and automated production to provide exciting new features at a competitive cost. The optional TriStar meter is the most sophisticated and informative controller meter on the market. The controller is ETL Listed (UL1741) and TUV (IEC62109-1), and is designed for home systems and professional applications.
Features:
- High Reliability - Large heat sink and conservative design enables operating at full ratings to 60°C. No need to de-rate.
- More Power - Ratings to 60A at 48VDC will handle solar arrays up to 4kW.
- Communications Capability - RS-232 connects to a personal computer for custom settings, data logging and remote monitoring and control.
- Fully Adjustable - DIP switch provides user with a choice of 7 different digital presets and custom settings via RS-232.
- Extensive Electronic Protections - Fully protected against reverse polarity, short circuit, overcurrent, high temperature and overvoltage.
- Simple Mechanical Interface - Larger power terminals and conduit knockouts. Extra space for wire turns. Fits on power panels.
- Better Battery Charging - Connecting battery sense wires and optional remote temperature sensor will improve control accuracy. Constant voltage series PWM algorithm increases battery capacity and life.
- More Information - 3 LED's to indicate status, faults and alarms. Optional meter displays extensive system and controller information, automatic self-test and reset capabilities. Meter connection via RJ-11 phone jack.
- Easy to Reset - Pushbutton 11 provides manual reset and stop/start battery equalization or load disconnect.
- Low Telecom Noise - DIP switch setting will change PWM to "On-Off" battery charging.
Load Control Mode:
- Starts all loads including inductive
- Short circuit and overload protection with automatic reconnect
- Temperature compensation
- PWM may be changed to "on-off" operation to minimize any telecom noise
- May be used for solar, wind or hydroelectric
