FireRaptor Overview
The IMO FireRaptor is designed to be installed at solar panel level and provides safety shutdown of the DC supply to ZERO VOLTS
in case of emergency. Shutdown is initiated in 3 ways - Manual Operation, AC Supply Cut-Off or Temperature Rise Trigger as follows:
 MANUAL OPERATION
Manual shutdown is initiated within less than 1 second of operation by pressing the emergency pushbutton on the Emergency
Rapid Shutdown Switch (Part no FRS-ESWx). The Emergency Switch can be conveniently located at ground level for easy access
or multiple switches can be installed in different multi-level building zones.
 AC SUPPLY CUT-OFF
Disconnection of the external AC supply, by whatever means, causes automatic remote operation of the Emergency Rapid Shutdown
Switch and solar panel shutdown.
 TEMPERATURE RISE TRIGGER
Automatic shutdown occurs if the temperature sensor onboard the FireRaptor detects an ambient temperature rise above its
programmed trigger level. The two FireRaptor versions available shutdown in different ways.
The FRS-01 shuts down only the panel(s) connected to it upon sensing an ambient temperature rise above 85˚C (185˚F). Provided
the temperature does not exceed 92˚C (198˚F), the unit will re-engage the panel(s) if the temperature drops back below 85˚C
(185˚F), otherwise a manual reset of the Emergency Switch is required.
The FRS-02 shuts down the entire string connected to it upon sensing an ambient temperature rise above 92˚C (198˚F) and
resetting of the Emergency Switch by a professional installer is then required. The shut-down signal can be congured to provide
connection to the building’s central alarm system or notication via mobile communication (SMS, email etc.).
