· 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 operating RSD-S-PLC is a heat sink and can reach high temperature. To reduce risk of burns, do not touch the body of the RSD-S-PLC.
· Meets SunSpec requirements The RSD-S-PLC meets SunSpec requirements, maintaining normal function by continually receiving a heartbeat signal from the APsmart Transmitter. The RSD-S-PLC executes rapid system shutdown when the Transmitter signal is absent. Users can manually execute rapid shutdown using the Transmitter breaker switch.

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 the PV modules connected and supplying energy. RSD-S-PLC units automatically enter rapid shutdown mode when the Transmitter-PLC is switched off and resume energy production when power is restored to the Transmitter-PLC.
