Email & SMS Alerts

The email and SMS alerts feature sends notication to an email address or mobile phone if one

of the following occurs:

• TriStar MPPT 600V self diagnostics fault condition

• TriStar MPPT 600V self diagnostics alarm condition

• User-dened event (e.g. battery voltage is less than 46 Volts)

Up to four email and SMS alerts can be congured from the network settings web page in the

MSView TriStar MPPT 600V 600Vwizard.

View Logged Data

The TriStar MPPT 600V logs up to 200 days* of daily data. The controller always logs the stan-

dard values listed below. Using MSView, the controller can be congured to log additional option-

al values each day. The maximum number of days that can be stored decreases as the number

of logged values increases.

Standard Values

• Minimum Battery Voltage

• Maximum Battery Voltage

• Daily Events (Equalize triggered, Entered Float, Alarm/Fault occurred, Controller Reset)

• Faults / Alarms - recorded only if a fault or alarm occurs that day

Optional Values

• Maximum Array Voltage

• Maximum Power Output

• Charge Amp-hours

• Charge Watt-hours

• Minimum/Maximum Battery Temperature

• Charge stage regulation timers for Absorption, Float, Equalize

* logging only standard values

NOTE: If an RTS isn't installed, minimum and maximum battery temperatures will not

be available. In this case, minimum/maximum battery temperature will not be logged,

even if selected as an optional variable
