  • Page 10 Buckle RSD-D onto the PV module frame. NOTE: Do not place the RSD-S-PLC (including DC connectors) where exposed to the sun, rain or snow, even gap between modules. Allow a minimum of 3/4’’(1.5cm.) between the roof and the bottom of the RSD-S-PLC to allow proper air flow.
  • Page 11 RSD-S-PLC INSTALLATION Step 2: Connect the input connectors of the RSD-S-PLC to the junction box, the device output DC voltage is within the range of 0.6 to 1v. NOTE: Do not short-circuit the RSD-S-PLC output connectors, otherwise it will be damaged.
  • Page 12 NOTE: When installing RSD-S cable, the bending radius of the cable near the casing must be greater than 50 mm. Step 3: Connect the output connectors of the RSD-S-PLC in series to the string, the string open-air DC voltage is within the range of (0.6 ~ 1v) X #RSD-S-PLCs. (This range may vary due to different on-site environment.)
