page 2 of 3
Diagram #1 (applicable for 12V & 24V nominal battery systems)
IMPORTANT:
This is not intended to be a complete system diagram; fusing, discon-
nects, and grounding should comply with local electric codes.
Notes:
One TriStar provides charge control, while a second TriStar provides lighting timing control.•
The TriStar providing lighting control uses the Array Voltage to determine daytime/nighttime. It senses the •
Array Voltage via its Sense +/- terminal pair.
The TriStar in Charge Control mode can instead be a TriStar MPPT or other Morningstar charge controller.•
For detailed installation information, please consult the respective product manuals (TriStar).•
