DIAGRAMS: TS Lighting

TriStar (PWM) Charging and Lighting

Abstract:

Two diagrams are provided to show how a 2-TriStar system can be congured for solar

charging and lighting control. Diagram #1 shows how to congure the system for 12V and

24V nominal battery systems. Diagram #2 shows how to congure for 48V nominal battery

systems.
