The TriStarTM is Morningstar's newest and most advanced product and is capable of handling solar arrays up to 4kW   The controller is a three-function controller that provides reliable solar battery charging, load control or diversion regulation (See Below)   Uses advanced technology and automated production to provide exciting new features at a competitive cost   The controller is UL listed and is designed for both solar home systems and professional applications

Features:   No need to derate   The TriStar has a 5 year warranty   The TriStar Meter and Remote Meter have 26 screens providing extensive information including bar graphs, 5 languages, and data logging of kilowatt hours and high/low voltage.   TriStar has a self-test function, making it very easy to trouble shoot. Both the LEDs and Meter indicate a total of 10 different faults and alarms.   RS-232 connects to a personal computer for custom settings, data logging, and remote monitoring and control.   DIP switch provides user with a choice of 7 different digital presets and custom settings via RS-232   Fully protected against reverse polarity, short circuit, overcurrent, high temperature and overvoltage.   TriStar allows wire size up to #2 AWG and has ample bending room.   TriStar's printed circuit board is conformally coated against humidity and nesting insects

Charge Control   Constant voltage series PWM design to provide highly efficient battery charging.   4-stage charging to increase battery capacity and life: bulk charge, PWM regulation, float and equalize.

Load Control   Starts large loads including motors and pumps with no damage to controller   Allows inrush current to 300 amps   Electronic short-circuit and overload protection with automatic reconnect   LVD is currect compensated and has a delay to avoid false reconnects.

Diversion Control   May be used for solar, wind or hydroelectric   To protect against overcharge, excess energy is diverted from primary battery to a secondary battery       or alternate DC resistive load.   PWM reduces power into diversion load during overcurrent coonditions
