Figure 3-14. Power Terminal Locations
Connect the four (4) power conductors shown in gure 3-14 as described in the following
steps:
1. Conrmthatthesysteminputandoutputdisconnectswitchesarebothturnedoffbeforecon-
necting the power wires to the controller.
2. Pull PV and battery wires into the standard wiring box. The Remote Temperature Sensor
(RTS) and Battery Sense wires can be routed inside conduit along with the battery power
conductors if required. The RTS and Battery Sense wires CANNOT be routed in the same
conduit with the high voltage solar conductors. It is easier to pull the RTS and Sense wires
before the power cables.
3. Only route high voltage solar circuit conductors in the high voltage wiring zone and low volt-
age battery and network conductors within the low voltage zone. Refer to section 3.2 for more
information.
4. Replace the yellow Solar Terminal Bridge that was removed in Step 2 on page 21. The bridge
shouldtoverthesolarpowerterminals.Thebridgeisolatesthehighvoltagesolarwiring
from the low voltage wiring area. The bridge MUST be installed before proceeding. Connect
the solar (+) wire to the solar (+) terminal on the TriStar MPPT 600V.
WARNING: Risk of Damage
Be very certain that the solar connection is made with correct polarity. Turn on the solar array
breaker/disconnect and measure the voltage on the open wires BEFORE connecting to the
TriStar MPPT 600V. Disconnect the solar breaker/disconnect before wiring to the controller.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque d’endommagement
Assurez-vous que la connexion solaire est effectuée avec la polarité correcte. Activez le coupe-
circuit/interrupteur de réseau solaire et mesure la tension sur les câbles ouverts AVANT la
connexion au TriStar MPPT. Déconnectez le coupe-circuit/interrupteur solaire avant le câblage
sur le contrôleur.
5. Connect the solar (-) wire to the solar (-) terminal on the TriStar MPPT 600V.
6. Replace the Wiring Divider (removed in Step 2 on page 21) over the solar wires, and secure it
with the M4 screw provided.
