Morningstar TriStar Digital Meter TS-M 2

Detailed Description:

TriStar controllers are technically advanced and professional solar battery chargers and load controllers. Two digital LCD meters are available for the TriStar family of controllers, and their displays are identical. One version is mounted on the controller; the other is mounted in a remote location.

This local meter is provided as an assembly that replaces the TriStar front access cover. The TS-M-2 meter mounts to the TriStar controller.

The TriStar meters can be added to the controller when it is first installed, or at anytime after the controller has been in service.
