· Before installing or using the RSD-D, please read all instructions and cautionary markings in the technical documents. · Be aware that the body of the operating RSD-D is a heat sink and can reach high temperature. To reduce risk of burns, do not touch the body of the RSD-D.
· Dual-input channel The RSD-D meets SunSpec requirements, maintaining normal function by continually receiving a heartbeat signal from the APsmart Transmitter. The RSD-D executes rapid system shutdown when the Transmitter signal is absent. Users can manually execute rapid shutdown using the Transmitter breaker switch.
