This document is a manual for the installation and operation of digital meters, providing information on the installation, operation, and troubleshooting of TriStar digital meters.
The TriStar digital meters (TS-M and TS-RM) are professional solar system controllers designed for 12, 24, and 48 Vdc systems. The TS-M is a controller-mounted meter that replaces the front access cover, while the TS-RM is a remote version supplied with a 30m (98.4 ft) connecting cable. Both versions feature a 2x16 digital LCD display and provide real-time operating figures, diagnostic capabilities, and manual reset functions.
