NOTE: Disconnect power from the controller before
changing any DIP switches; failure to do so will cause a
fault.
Please refer to the Help Topics in MSView
TM
for more information.
5.5.5 TriStar Setup Wizard
Custom settings can be programmed to the TriStar via MSView
TM
. This wizard allows for step

warning and select OK if you accept the terms.
NOTE: Use the TriStar DIP Switch Wizard to correctly set
the system voltage. Disconnect power from the controller
before changing any DIP switches; failure to do so will
cause a fault.
Depending in which mode the TriStar will be used, the wizard will allow the user to set appropri-
ate settings for that mode. Each mode (Charge, Load, Lighting, Diversion) are programmed into
the controller separately. Solar Charging Control will permit PWM, temperature compensation,
HVD (high voltage disconnect), equalization, LED transition, and address settings to be modi-
ed.LoadControlallowsLVD(lowvoltagedisconnect),HVD,andLEDtransitionsettingstobe

NOTE: All setpoints must be specied for a nominal 12V
system. When DIP switches 2 & 3 are used to specify
system voltage, setpoints are multiplied accordingly.
More information on individual controller settings are found in the Help Topics of the MSView
TM
software.
