Morningstar TS-45

Description

Solar Charge Controller Morningstar TS-45. Tristar 45A, 12/24/36/V/48VDC

The TriStar is a 3-function controller that provides reliable solar battery charging, load control, or diversion regulation. It operates in one of these modes at a time, and two or more controllers may be used to provide multiple functions.

It also supports parallel operation for larger solar arrays of up to 300 Amps or more, as well as 4-stage charging to increase battery capacity. 

Key Features and Benefits

• Highest Reliability
  Large heat sink and conservative design enables operating at full ratings to 60°C. No need to de-rate.
• More Power
  Ratings to 60A at 48VDC will handle solar arrays up to 4kW.
• Communications Capability
  RS-232 connects to a personal computer for custom settings, data logging and remote monitoring and control.
• Fully Adjustable
  DIP switch provides user with a choice of 7 different digital presets and custom settings via RS-232.
• Extensive Electronic Protections
  Fully protected against reverse polarity, short circuit, overcurrent, high temperature and overvoltage.
• Simple Mechanical Interface
  Larger power terminals and conduit knockouts. Extra space for wire turns. Fits on power panels.
• Better Battery Charging
  Connecting battery sense wires and optional remote temperature sensor will improve control accuracy. Constant voltage series PWM algorithm increases battery capacity and life.
• More Information
  3 LED’s to indicate status, faults and alarms. Optional meter displays extensive system and controller information, automatic self-test and reset capabilities. Meter connection via RJ-11 phone jack.
• Easy to reset
  Push-button provides manual reset and stop/start battery equalization or load disconnect.
• Low Telecom Noise
  DIP switch setting will change PWM to “On-Off” battery charging.
