  • Page 2: Important Safety Instructions

    SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 1. General Safety Information This manual contains important instructions for Solectria’s Rapid Shutdown (RSD) Combiner that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the combiner. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, and to ensure the safe installation and operation of the Solectria RSD Combiner, follow these instructions.
  • Page 3 Rapid Shutdown Combiner The Solectria RSD Combiner provides an automatic disconnect of 600 VDC residential or small commercial PV array systems, fully compliant with the Rapid Shutdown requirements of NEC 2014 article 690.12 when installed appropriately. It is compatible with Solectria’s single-phase residential inverters: PVI 3800TL, PVI 5200TL, PVI 6600TL, and PVI 7600TL.
  • Page 4 PVI 3800-7600TL Rapid Shutdown Combiner Installation and Operation Guide (Rev B) SOLECTRIA RAPID SHUTDOWN COMBINER ON ROOF WITHIN 10’ OF PV Example 1: 2 strings of 260W modules, 12 modules per string and a PVI 5200TL using both MPPT zones (1 string per RSD input).
  • Page 5 RSD Combiner, ensuring there is no high voltage DC between the inverter and the RSD Combiner. The PV system with rapid shutdown ability shall be properly labeled according to NEC 690.56 (C). The sign/label should be right at the service entrance and match the sample below (text and color scheme).

Once connected to PV string, the RSD Combiner will wake up immediately.
  • Page 8 PVI 3800-7600TL Rapid Shutdown Combiner Installation and Operation Guide (Rev B)  DANGER -To ensure maximum protection against hazardous voltages while assembling PV installations, both the positive and the negative conductors must be strictly isolated electrically from ground as well as each other.
  • Page 9 PVI 3800-7600TL Rapid Shutdown Combiner Installation and Operation Guide (Rev B)  NOTICE - Using a power screwdriver to tighten the mounting hardware is not recommended due to the risk of thread galling.  Check that the RSD Combiner is mounted securely on the PV racking.
  • Page 10  CAUTION - The rapid shutdown signal wire may be routed together with the DC output cables in the same conduit, but all the cables shall be listed and rated 600 V and use Class 1 wiring methods. Always check with the local AHJ.
