Key Features and Benets
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
 Easy to install
• Uses standard 6 conductor RJ-11 connectors
• TS-RM-2 fits a “double gang” electrical box and
includes 30 meters (98.4 feet) of cable
• Both data and meterbus power flow over a single cable
• Network supports up to 15 devices and, optionally,
more than one meter per system
 Networking capability
• Displays individual controller data from up to 15
TriStars with optional Morningstar MeterHub
• Aggregates system data to show total charge, load and
battery charge/discharge state
• Auto detects any device found on the network
 Easy to use
• Four directional pushbuttons for easy navigation of
display screens
• Backlighting to enhance readability
• Meter may be added during initial controller
installation, added as an upgrade anytime in the future
or connected temporarily for troubleshooting with the
ability to use this same meter at other sites
The TriStar Meter-2™ (TS-M-2), TriStar Meter-2-600V™ (TS-M-2-600V) and the TriStar Remote Meter-2™ (TS-RM-2)
are advanced digital meters. They are nearly identical except that the TS-M-2 and TS-M-2-600V are mounted on the
controller and the TS-RM-2 is flush mounted up to 30 meters away from the controller. The TriStar meters are 2 x 16
character LCD’s that display system and controller information, logged data, bar graph metering, alarms and faults for
easy troubleshooting. The information may be shown in English, French, German, Portuguese or Spanish. In multi-
controller systems, these are networkable using Morningstar’s MeterHub to allow individual controller data and
aggregate system data to be displayed together on a single meter.
