IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This manual contains important instructions to be followed during installation and maintenance of the APsmart RSD and Transmitter. To reduce the risk of electrical shock and ensure the safe installation and operation of the APsmart RSD and Transmitter, the following symbols appear throughout this document to indicate dangerous conditions and important safety instructions.
RSD PRODUCTS RSD-S-PLC · Meets NEC 2017 (690.12) requirements · Executes rapid shutdown of system when Transmitter-PLC signal is absent · Meets SunSpec requirements RSD-S-PLC meets SunSpec requirements,maintaining normal function by continually receiving a heart-beat signal from the APsmart Transmitter. The RSD executes rapid system shutdown when Transmitter signal is absent. Users can manually execute rapid shutdown using Transmitter breaker switch.
TRANSMITTER PRODUCTS Transmitter-PLC： · Meets NEC 2017 (690.12) requirements · Switch off Transmitter, rapid shutdown the output of PV modules · Meets SunSpec requirements · Equipped with single/dual core · Optional 85-264VAC power supply · Optional 180-550VAC power supply Transmitter-PLC-Outdoor Kit： · Meets NEC 2017 (690.
SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAM 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. 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.
