Step 5 - Remote Temperature Sensor
The included Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS) is recommended for effective temperature compen-
sated charging. Connect the RTS to the 2-position terminal located between the battery (+) terminal
lug and the LED stack (see figure 2-1). The RTS is supplied with 33 ft (10 m) of 22 AWG (0.34 mm
cable. There is no polarity, so either wire (+ or -) can be connected to either screw terminal. The
RTS cable may be pulled through conduit along with the power wires. Tighten the connector screws
to 5 in-lb (0.56 Nm) of torque. Separate installation instructions are provided inside the RTS bag.
WARNING: Risk of Fire.
If no Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS) is connected, use the TriStar MPPT 150V
within 3m (10 ft) of the batteries.
AVERTISSEMENT: Risque d'incendie.
Si aucun capteur de température distant (RTS) est branché, utilisez le TriStar MPPT 150V
au sein de 3 m (10 pi) de la batterie.
!
CAUTION:
The TriStar MPPT 150V will not temperature compensate charging
parameters if the RTS is not used. Charging will be based on a temperature
of 25°C. Use of an RTS is strongly recommended.
! CAUTION: Equipment Damage
Never place the temperature sensor inside a battery cell. Both the RTS and
the battery will be damaged.
NOTE:
The RTS cable may be shortened if the full length is not needed. Be sure
to reinstall the ferrite choke on the end of the RTS if a length of cable is
removed. This choke ensures compliance with electromagnetic emissions
standards.
PRUDENCE:
!
Le TriStar MPPT 150V ne compensera pas la température des paramètres de
charge si le RTS n'est pas utilisé. La charge sera basée sur une température de
25 ° C. L'utilisation du RTS est fortement recommandée.
! PRUDENCE : Endommagement de l'équipement
Ne placez jamais la sonde de température dans un élément de batterie. Le RTS
et la batterie seraient endommagés.
REMARQUE :
Le câble de RTS peut être raccourci si la totalité de la longueur n'est pas
nécessaire. Assurez-vous de réinstaller la bobine en ferrite sur l'extrémité du
RTS si une longueur de câble est enlevée. Cette bobine assure la conformité
avec les normes d'émissions électromagnétiques.

Step 6 - Grounding and Ground Fault Interruption
WARNING:

This unit is not provided with a GFDI device. This charge controller must
be used with an external GFDI device as required by the Article 690 of the
National Electrical Code for the installation location
NOTE:
Conductors identified by the colors green or green/yellow should only be used
for earthing conductors
AVERTISSEMENT :
L'appareil n'est pas fourni avec un dispositif GFDI. Ce contrôleur de
charge doit être utilisé avec un dispositif GFDI externe tel que requis par
l'Article 690 du Code électrique national de la région de l'installation.
Use a copper wire to connect the grounding terminal in the wiring box to earth ground. The grounding
terminal is identified by the ground symbol shown below that is stamped into the wiring box just below
the terminal:
Do not connect the system negative conductor to this terminal. NEC requires the use of an
nal ground fault protection device (GFPD). The TriStar MPPT 150V does not have internal ground
fault protection. The system electrical negative should be bonded through a GFPD to earth ground
at one (and only one) location. The grounding point may be located in the solar circuit or the battery
circuit.
Per NEC 690.45 (A) and NEC Table 250.122, minimum sizes for copper grounding wire are:
• TS-MPPT-30
• TS-MPPT-45
• TS-MPPT-60/M
OR, of the same, or greater, cross-sectional area as the PV wires.
WARNING: Risk of Fire
DO NOT bond system electrical negative to earth ground at the controller.
Per NEC requirements, system negative must be bonded to earth ground
through a GFPD at only one point.
