Disabling PV Link

IMPORTANT NOTE: Disabling a PV Link does NOT de-
energize the PV array if SnapRS devices are not
installed. If SnapRS devices are installed, in-array volt-
ages are limited to less than 80 VDC.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Disabling PV Link does not de-
energize the DC bus if other devices are providing power
to the DC bus.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The disabled/enabled state of
each PV Link persists through AC power outages and DC
bus power cycling.
