Third Party Examples
The following third-party examples have been installed at test sites. This does not mean that these are
the only third-party rapid shutdown devices that will work; these are only examples of configurations.
This is also not the only configuration to integrate OutBack products with these devices.

IMO FireRaptor FRS-01
One solution is the IMO FireRaptor FRS – 01 model along with the Rapid Shutdown Switch Unit.
Figure 3 IMO FireRaptor FRS-01 and FRS-ESW
The power supply within the FRS-ESW1 can power a 24-panel configuration with one ICS Plus
combiner. If more than 24 modules or more than one ICS Plus combiner is needed, a larger power
supply will be needed.
Table 2 Considerations when Selecting a Power Supply
Current draw per unit
ICS Plus Combiner 0.170 Adc
FRS-01* 0.010 Adc
Current available
Power Supply* 0.420 Adc
* IMO specifications on their products are subject to change. Please reference their documents.
For example, if there were 24 panels and one ICS Plus, the current requirement will be:
24 × 0.010 Adc + 0.170 Adc = 0.410 Adc
In order to use the IMO FireRaptor, some communication will need to occur with the FM100, ICS Plus or
SkyBox to initiate a rapid shutdown command to quickly shut down the devices.
