Figure 3-14. Power Terminal Locations
Connect the four (4) power conductors shown in Figure 3-14 as described in the following
steps:
1. Conrm that the system input and output disconnect switches are both turned o󰀨 before
connecting 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 if removed as shown in Figure 3-9 on page 25. 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
power source 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 eectuée 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 600V. Déconnectez le coupe-circuit/interrupteur solaire avant le
câblage sur le contrôleur.
NOTE: Tighten all new screw terminal connections to specified torque values
REMARQUE : Serrer toutes les nouvelles connexions terminal vis au couple spécifié de valeurs
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 24) over the solar wires, and secure it
with the M4 screw provided.
WARNING: Risk of Damage
Be very certain that the battery connection is made with correct polarity. Turn on the battery
breaker/disconnect and measure the voltage on the open battery wires BEFORE connecting to
the TriStar MPPT 600V. Disconnect the battery breaker/disconnect before wiring to the controller.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque d’endommagement
Assurez-vous que la connexion a la batterie est eectuée avec la polarité correcte. Activez le
coupe-circuit/interrupteur de la batterie et mesure la tension sur les câbles ouverts AVANT la
connexion au TriStar MPPT 600V. Déconnectez le coupe-circuit/interrupteur de la batterie avant
le câblage sur le contrôleur.
7. Connect the battery (+) wire to the battery (+) terminal on the TriStar MPPT 600V. The
battery (+) terminal has a red cover. See Figure 3-14.
8. Connect the battery (-) wire to the battery (-) terminal on the TriStar MPPT 600V. See Figure
3-14.
9. Replace cover, and secure with four (4) screws.
10. Connect the TriStar MPPT 600V battery (+) wire (using a properly sized inline external
breaker at the battery) to the system battery (+) post; then connect the battery (-) wire to the
system battery (-)
post (system battery not shown).

WARNING: Shock Hazard
The solar PV power source can produce open-circuit voltages in excess of 500 Vdc
when in sunlight. Verify that the solar input breaker or disconnect has been opened
(disconnected) before installing the system wires.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de décharge électrique
Le réseau PV solaire peut produire des tensions de circuit ouvert supérieures à 500 V cc
à la lumière du soleil. Vériez que le coupe-circuit ou l’interrupteur d’entrée solaire a été
ouvert (déconnexion) avant d’installer les câbles du système.
WARNING: Risk of Damage
Be very certain that the battery connection is made with correct polarity. Turn on the battery breaker/
disconnect and measure the voltage on the open battery wires BEFORE connecting to the TriStar MPPT 600V.
Disconnect the battery breaker/disconnect before wiring to the controller.
