Page 2: Important Safety Instructions
National Electric Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA 70 and/or local electrical codes. When the photovoltaic array is exposed to light, it supplies a DC voltage to the Tigo TS4 units. The TS4 units start in the “ON” state and their output voltage may be as high as the PV module open circuit voltage (VOC) when connected to the module. -

Page 11: Ts4-R-F Installation
TS4-R-F INSTALLATION Standard modules can be equipped with TS4-R-F add-on/retrofit units as shown below. Always connect modules to TS4-R inputs before connecting outputs. Each TS4-R-F must have a PV module connected to its input before connecting the outputs of TS4-R-F units in series. To disconnect TS4-R-F from a module, disconnect the TS4-R-F outputs from the string before disconnecting the TS4-R-F inputs from the module junction box. -
