TRISTAR INSTALLATION
13
MORNINGSTAR CORPORATION
2.02.0
REMARQUE : Les commutateurs DIP ne doivent être remplacés que si le contrôleur
est hors tension. Mettez tous les interrupteurs sur arrêt et mettez le contrôleur hors
tension avant de changer un commutateur DIP. Une panne sera indiquée en cas de
changement d’un commutateur alors que le contrôleur est sous tension.
CAUTION: The TriStar is shipped with all the switches in the “OFF” position. Each
switch position must be confirmed during installation. A wrong setting could
cause damage to the battery or other system components.
PRUDENCE : Le TriStar est expédié avec tous les interrupteurs en position « ARRÊT ».
La position de chaque interrupteur doit être confirmée pendant l’installation. Un
mauvais réglage peut endommager la batterie ou d’autres composants du
système.
The DIP switch settings described below are for Solar Battery Charging only.
Load and Diversion switch settings can be found in Appendixes 1 and 2.
The DIP switches are shipped in the OFF position. With the switches in the
OFF position, the following functions are present:
Switch Function
1 Battery charge mode
2, 3 Auto voltage select
4, 5, 6 Lowest battery charging voltage
7 Manual equalization
8 Normal PWM charging mode
To configure your TriStar for the battery charging and control you require,
follow the DIP switch adjustments described below. To change a switch from
OFF to ON, slide the switch up toward the top of the controller. Make sure
each switch is fully in the ON or OFF position.

The auto voltage selection occurs when the battery is connected and the
TriStar starts-up. There should be no loads on the battery that might cause
a discharged battery to indicate a lower system voltage.
The DIP switch selectable voltages are for 12V, 24V or 48V lead-acid
batteries. Although the “auto voltage” selection is very dependable, it is
recommended to use the DIP switches to secure the correct system voltage.
