Morningstar's TriStar Meter-2 (TS-M-2) and TriStar Remote Meter-2 (TS-RM-2) are advanced digital meters that may be used with any TriStar solar controller. These two meters are identical except that the TS-M-2 is mounted on the controller and the TS-RM-2 is flush mounted up to 30 meters (98.4 feet) away from the controller.
The TriStar meters are 2 x 16 character LCDs that display extensive system and controller information, logged data, bar graph metering as well as alarms and faults for easy troubleshooting. The information may be shown in English, French, German, Portuguese or Spanish languages.
In multi-controller systems the TS-M-2 and TS-RM-2 are networkable using Morningstar's MeterHub to allow individual controller data and aggregate system data to be displayed together on a single meter.
