NOTE: The use of a Remote Temperature
Sensor is strongly recommended. Controller
location, air flow, and system power can drastically
affect the local temperature sensor reading. An RTS
will provide optimal charging performance.
RM-1 Meter
A remote meter for monitoring system variables,
for use through the ProStar Meterbus port.
RelayDriver (RD-1)
The Relay Driver
TM
accessory enables the ProStar
to control external devices. Four (4) relay control
ports can be configured (in various combinations) to
perform the following tasks:
• generator control (2, 3, and 4-wire configurations)
• dry contacts for alarms and other signals
• advanced load control
• vent fan control
• DIN rail compatible or surface mount
For more information on the Relay Driver, visit our
website at www.morningstarcorp.com, or inquire with
your local Morningstar dealer.
Ground-fault Protection Device (GFPD-150V)
The GFPD-150V detects power source ground faults
and interrupts current as required by the US National
Electrical Code.
Communications Support:
Ethernet MeterBus Converter (EMC-1)
This product is an Ethernet gateway that provides
web monitoring services, a Modbus TCP/IP server,
and a local web page server. End users can collect
information about their off-grid PV system remotely.
One EMC-1 supports all products with MeterBus
ports by bridging MODBUS TCP/IP requests to serve
LiveView pages for each product.
USB Communications Adapter (UMC-1)
A modular unit that uses a USB-B plug, usually
from a USB A-B computer cable, and an RJ-11
plug to connect with a Morningstar controller’s
MeterBus port, for monitoring and programming
using MSView PC software.
PC MeterBus Adapter
TM
(Model: MSC)
The MSC converts the MeterBus RJ-11 electrical
interface to an isolated standard RS-232 interface
which enables communication between the
ProStar and a PC.
The MSC can be used for
programming custom charging set-points, and for
logging data in MSView. See Section 4.5 for more
information on programming.
