Figure 2.3 - Step 2 Mounting Dimensions
Step 2 - Mounting (continued)
Refer to Figure 2.3.
Use the template provided in the shipping carton for
locating the mounting holes and for stripping the wires. Use two of the #10
screws provided for the two keyhole slots. Leave the screw heads protruding
enough to lock inside the keyhole slots (about 3.8 mm / 0.150 inch). Mount the
controller and pull it down to lock the screws into the slots. Use the remaining
two screws to fasten the controller to the wall.
Provide for strain relief for the bottom knockouts if conduit will not be used.
Avoid excessive pulling forces on the terminals from the wires.
Step 3 - Adjust the DIP Switches
An 8-position DIP switch is used to set-up the controller for its intended use.
All major functions can be set with the DIP switches.
See Section 7.0 for
additional custom settings using PC software.
NOTE: The instructions below are for solar battery charging.
Refer to Appendix 1 for Load Control DIP switch settings, and Appendix 2 for
Diversion Charge Control DIP switch settings.
REMARQUE : Les instructions ci-dessous concernent la charge de batteries
solaires. Reportez-vous à l’Annexe 1 pour les réglages du commutateur DIP
de contrôle de charge et à l’Annexe 2 pour les réglages du commutateur DIP
de contrôle de charge de diversion.
The DIP switches are located behind the negative power terminals. Each
switch is numbered. The solar battery charging functions that can be adjusted
with the DIP switches follow:

Figure 2.4 - Step 3 DIP Switch Functions
As shown in the diagram, all the positions are in the “OFF” position except
switch numbers 7 and 8, which are in the “ON” position.
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 while the controller is powered.
REMARQUE : Les commutateurs DIP ne doivent être remplacés que si le
contrôleur est hors tension. Mettez tous 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 alors que 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 installation. 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 batterie ou d’autres
composants du système.
