Progress Solar/Wind SLT 700 Series Operator's Manual page 111

Connect the four (4) power conductors shown in Figure 3-7 above in the following steps:
1. Confirm that the system input and output disconnect switches are both turned off before
connecting the power wires to the controller. There are no disconnect switches inside the
TriStar MPPT 150V.
2. Provide for strain relief if the bottom knockouts are used and conduit is not used.
3. Pull the wires into the wiring box. The Remote Temperature Sensor and Battery Sense wires
can be inside the conduit with the power conductors. It is easier to pull the RTS and Sense
wires before the power cables.
WARNING: Risk of Damage
Be very certain that the battery connection is made with correct polarity. Turn
on the battery breaker/disconnect and measure the voltage on the open battery
wires BEFORE connecting to the TriStar MPPT 150V. Disconnect the battery
breaker/disconnect before wiring to the controller.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque d'endommagement
Assurez-vous que la connexion a la batterie est effectuée avec la polarité
correcte. Activez le coupe-circuit/interrupteur de la batterie et mesure la tension
sur les câbles ouverts AVANT la connexion au TriStar MPPT 150V. Déconnectez
le coupe-circuit/interrupteur de la batterie avant le câblage sur le contrôleur.
4. Connect the Battery (+) wire to the Battery (+) terminal on the TriStar MPPT 150V. The
Battery (+) terminal has a red cover.
5. Connect the Battery (-) wire to one of the Common Negative terminals on the
TriStar MPPT 150V.
WARNING: Risk of Damage
Be very certain that the solar connection is made with correct polarity. Turn on the solar
array breaker/disconnect and measure the voltage on the open wires BEFORE connecting
to the TriStar MPPT 150V. Disconnect the solar breaker/disconnect before wiring to the
controller.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque d'endommagement
Assurez-vous que la connexion solaire est effectuée avec la polarité correcte. Activez le
coupe-circuit/interrupteur de réseau solaire et mesure la tension sur les câbles ouverts
AVANT la connexion au TriStar MPPT 150V. Déconnectez le coupe-circuit/interrupteur
solaire avant le câblage sur le contrôleur.
6. Connect the TriStar MPPT 150V battery (+) wire (through a properly sized breaker) as close
as possible to the system battery (+) post: then connect the battery (-) wire to the system
battery (-) post (system battery not shown).
7. Connect the Solar (+) wire to the Solar + terminal on the TriStar MPPT 150V. The Solar (+)
terminal has a yellow cover.
8. Connect the Solar (-) wire to one of the Common Negative terminals on the
TriStar MPPT 150V.
32 Installation
Torque all four (4) power terminals to 50 in-lbs (5.65 Nm)
POWER-UP
WARNING: Risk of Damage
Connecting the solar array to the battery terminal will permanently damage the
TriStar MPPT 150V.
WARNING: Risk of Damage
Connecting the solar array or battery connection with reverse polarity will
permanently damage the TriStar MPPT 150V.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque d'endommagement
La connexion du réseau solaire sur la borne de la batterie endommagera le
TriStar MPPT 150V de façon permanente
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque d'endommagement
La connexion du réseau solaire ou la connexion de la batterie avec une polarité
inversée endommagera le TriStar MPPT 150V de façon permanente.
• Confirm that the Solar and Battery polarities are correct.
• Turn the battery disconnect switch on first. Observe that the LEDs indicate a successful
start-up. (LEDs blink Green - Yellow - Red in one cycle)
• Note that a battery must be connected to the TriStar MPPT 150V to start and operate the
controller. The controller will not operate only from solar input.
• Turn the solar disconnect on. If the solar array is in full sunlight, the TriStar MPPT 150V
will begin charging. If an optional TriStar Meter is installed, charging current will be
reported along with charging state.
TO POWER-DOWN
WARNING: Risk of Damage
ONLY disconnect the battery from the TriStar MPPT 150V AFTER the solar input has
been disconnected. Damage to the controller may result if the battery is removed
while the TriStar MPPT 150V is charging.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque d'endommagement
Le TriStar MPPT 150V SEULEMENT déconnecter la batterie APRÈS l'entrée solaire a
été déconnectée. Le contrôleur pourrait endommager si la batterie est retirée quand le
TriStar MPPT 150V est en charge.
• Per warning above: To prevent damage, power-down must be done in
the reverse order as power-up.
