The accessories described below are available for purchase separately from your authorized
Morningstar dealer. Please see the individual product manuals for installation and operation
details.
Ground Fault Protection Device (GFPD-600V)
The GFPD detects power source ground faults and disconnects the as required by the U.S.
National Electrical Code. The GFPD unit is mounted in a wiring box and includes wiring hardware
needed to connect the unit to a TriStar MPPT 600V or TriStar MPPT 600V 600V600V-DB.
TriStar Meter 2-600V (TS-M-2-600V); TriStar Remote Meter 2 (TS-RM-2)
The TS-M-2-600V mounts directly on the TriStar MPPT 600V controller, replacing the blank
meter cover on the wiring box lid. The TS-RM-2 can be ush mounted in a wall or into a standard
duplex (2-gang) electrical box. A 2 x 16 character display shows system operating information,
error indications, and self-diagnostic information. Four (4) buttons make navigating the meter
menus easy.
TriStar meters connect to the RJ- 11 MeterBus
TM
port on the TriStar MPPT 600V. One meter can
display select full system information when multiple TriStar MPPT 600V or other TriStar
controllers are connected via a MeterBus
TM
network.
Meter Hub (HUB-1)
A Morningstar MeterBus
TM
network with multiple controllers requires a Meter Hub for electri-
cal isolation. The HUB-1 allows communication between MeterBus
TM
compatible Morningstar
products, including the TriStar MPPT 600V controller. DIN rail compatible. See section 5.2 for
more details.
Relay Driver (RD-1)
The Relay Driver
TM
accessory enables the TriStar MPPT 600V to control external devices. Four
(4) relay control ports can be congured (in various combinations) to perform the following tasks:
• generator control (2, 3 and 4-wire congurations)
• dry contacts for alarms and other signals
• advanced load control
• vent fan control
• DIN rail compatible or surface mount
For more information on the Relay Driver, visit our website at www.morningstarcorp.com or
inquire with your local Morningstar dealer.
EIA-485 / RS-232 Communications Adapter (RSC-1)
Connect one or more TriStar MPPT 600V controllers to a PC or to other serial devices using the
EIA-485 adapter. The adapter converts an RS-232 serial interface to EIA-485 compliant bus
signals. An LED shows network activity and errors. DIN rail compatible.
