As shown in the diagram, all the positions are in the "OFF" position except
switches 1 and 7, which are "ON".
NOTE: The DIP switches should be changed only when there is no power
to the controller. Turn off disconnect switches and remove all power to
the controller before changing a DIP switch. A fault will be indicated if a
switch is changed with the controller powered.
REMARQUE : Les commutateurs DIP ne doivent être changés que si le
contrôleur est hors tension. Mettez les interrupteurs sur arrêt et mettez
le contrôleur hors tension avant de changer un commutateur DIP. Une
panne sera indiquée en cas de changement d'un commutateur quand le
contrôleur est sous tension.
CAUTION: The TriStar is shipped with all the switches in the "OFF"
position. Each switch position must be confirmed during instal­
lation. A wrong setting could cause damage to the battery or
other system components.
PRUDENCE : Le TriStar est expédié avec tous les interrupteurs en
position « ARRÊT ». La position de chaque interrupteur doit être
confirmée pendant l'installation. Un mauvais réglage peut endommager
la charge ou d'autres composants du système.
The DIP switch settings described below are Diversion Charge Control only.
The DIP switches are shipped in the OFF position. With switches 1 and 7 in

To configure your TriStar for the diversion battery charging and control you
require, follow the DIP switch adjustments described below. To change a
switch from OFF to ON, slide the switch up toward the top of the controller.
Make sure each switch is fully in the ON or OFF position.

The auto voltage selection occurs when the battery is connected and the
TriStar starts-up. There should be no loads on the battery that might cause
a discharged battery to indicate a lower system voltage.
The DIP switch default voltages are for 12V, 24V or 48V lead-acid
batteries. Although the "auto voltage" selection is very dependable, it is
recommended to use the DIP switches to secure the correct system voltage.
