Morningstar TriStar solar charge controllers are technically advanced and professional solar battery chargers and load controllers. This optional digital LCD meter is desiged to be mounted in a remote location and works with the TS or TS-MPPT 45 or 60.
This remote meter is provided with a mounting plate and 30m (98.4 ft) of cable. It is identical to the TS-M-2 local meter version except that the TS-RM-2 version can be mounted at some distance from the controller.
The TriStar meters can be added to the controller when it is first installed, or at anytime after the controller has been in service.
The meter will display a great deal of information about the TriStar controller and the operation of your system. In addition, the meter enables manual functions and controller diagnostics. These capabilities will increase your confidence that the system is working properly and will help you to improve system reliability, battery life, and system performance. It is worth the time getting to know your meter!
