The Morningstar TS-45 diversion controller is the workhorse of the renewable energy market with many years of service in systems worldwide.

The TS-45 is connected to your battery bank and also the dump load. It operates as an ‘overflow’ controller for your battery bank – It will bleed excess energy to the dump load when the batteries are at full capacity. This means that the turbine is always running – and not being switched on and off as is the case with other charge control methods. It also means that your batteries are never ‘cycled’ through on / off charging techniques and this will prolong the life of your expensive battery bank.

The TS-45 uses pulse width modulation (PWM) to send the exact right amount of excess energy to the dump load at any time.

Features:

•  Suitable for all battery voltages – 12v, 24v & 48v
• Advanced charge control algorithms – Giving better battery charging using Pulse Width Modulation
• 3 modes of operation – Diversion, Load Control & Solar Control
• 45 amps of power handling capacity – enabling dump load capacities of 540w (12v), 1080w (24v) or 2160w (48v)
• Fully Adjustable – DIP Switch settings allow programming of different set points
• High Reliability – The large heat sink allows operation up to 45Deg C
• More Information – Charge status LED’s and optional LCD display
• Easy to install – Large power terminals and conduit knock-outs
• Communication Capability – Optional RS232 PC interface for custom setting, data logging and remote monitoring
