Does it just plug into the controller and know where else?

mines still in the box, but I think your correct. it just gives you a second location for a readout and hookup is basically like a phone line.

Yes the MT-5 remote meter display only plugs into the charge controller. It is CANBUS over RS-232 so if you have a CANBUS interpreter on your you can control and monitor charge controller but there is no public discussion of the protocol used there. It is not insifignant programming to accomplish this. And no it is not Ethernet compatable.David

I haven't hooked mine up yet but yes, it just plugs into the charge controller.

It has a rj45 cable (network cable) that goes from the controller to the device. No power is needed.

The bottom of the Tracer MPPT controller has a plugin kind of like the ethernet socket on your computer. The cord that comes with it goes from there to the MT-5 LCD display meter and nowhere else. That's the only possible connection.

Yes. The controller display plugs into the port of the Tracer MPPT charge controller and gets it's power from the charge controller. Nothing else to hook up or do except to mount the display meter with the screws supplied. I love mine! It lets you know the temp of your batteries, how many volts your panels are putting out, how many watts you are using, amount of charge in your batteries. It does a host of other things that I haven't figured out yet. A must have for a solar array.

No, it is powered by the ribbon cable that plugs into the controller located on the inside of the garage

I believe they have a model that does. You can can contact their help line to find out for certain, I did before purchasing our second controller and they were very helpful. By the way we have been using these for a few years have worked flawlessly...we love them.

it will work with any controller as long as the controller has the remote sensor input terminals for this to hook up to

As far as I can tell the controller doesn't need to know the battery type, as it just controls the voltage.

Yes it does. I've had the controller since March and I have yet to charge it again. I don't play very often but, battery life is excellent.

It should as long as the proper outputs are in the back of the stereo and the controller

Yes. It has a port on both the collar and the controller that you can plug in and charge.

Most wall switches have a LED to know if the device or light they are controlling is on or off, so if you turn on or off that controller from anywhere (manually, other switch, iphone or internet) i will show it

No but there is free software for that with the patch cable to charge your controller.

No, the controller contains a lithium ion battery that is rechargeable. It comes with an adapter that can be plugged into any USB port to recharge!

Yes it is...its why i bought it. I was having problems with my controller staying charged and connected. This solved it.

Yes, it will work as just another controller on your system That's how I'm using it.

It plugs into the controller box where you would normally plugin the battery pack.

On mine the jacks are on the station. They plug into the female port on the front of the controller.

There is a USB Reciever that comes with the controller. I have a full case and the cord was long enough to reach around to the front.
