· Before installing or using the RSD-S-PLC, please read all instructions and cautionary markings in the technical documents. · Be aware that the body of the running RSD-S-PLC is the heat sink and can reach high temperatures. To reduce risk of burns, do not touch the body of the RSD-S-PLC.
· Meets SunSpec requirements RSD-S-PLC meets SunSpec requirements,maintaining normal function by continually receiving a heart-beat signal from the APsmart Transmitter-PLC. The RSD executes rapid system shutdown when Transmitter-PLC signal is absent. Users can manually execute rapid shutdown using Transmitter-PLC breaker switch.
The APsmart Rapid Shutdown System Transmitter-PLC is part of a rapid shutdown solution when paired with APsmart RSD-S-PLC, a PV module rapid shutdown unit. While powered on, the Transmitter-PLC sends a signal to the RSD-S-PLC units to keep their PV modules connected and supplying energy.
