INTRODUCTION
The IMO Precision Controls FireRaptor product is a Rapid Shut Down System for connection to PV panel arrays in order to achieve compliance to
2014 NEC 690.12 and the forthcoming 2017 NEC 690.12.
The FireRaptor automatically shuts down array output to the PV inverter when it detects a temperature in excess to 85°C (FRS-01) and 92°C
(FRS-02).
The FireRaptor can be installed without any set-up and with any string inverter as its functionality is completely independent. “Plug & Play”
style installation using industry standard connectors makes the IMO FireRaptor suitable for new installations as well as retro-t; and its mains
powered independent DC power supply and emergency switch unit allows exibility for positioning for user convenience giving Manual Emergency
Shutdown, as well responding to local or area grid shutdown.
PARTS
!
When modifying and existing installation, isolate the inverter from the PV array by turning OFF the DC isolator / switch disconnect or
turn OFF the inverter and the AC switch.
!
PV Panel input and output connectors are not environmentally sealed until they are mated. Disconnected connectors should be
plugged into an appropriate mating part or used with suitable watertight caps.
!
FireRaptor DC input and output connectors are not environmentally sealed until they are mated. Disconnected connectors should be
plugged into an appropriate mating part (Tyco 282104-1 & 2pcs 282081-1 provided in FRS-ESW1/ FRS-ESW1-F / FRS-ESW1-K /
FRS-ESW1-FK) or used with suitable watertight caps.

Incorrect connections to the FireRaptor may cause failure.
CAUTIONS
Installation of the IMO FireRaptor without ensuring compatibility of the module\inverter connectors with the FireRaptor connectors
may be unsafe and cause operational problems. For mechanical compatibility of the modules\inverter and the FireRaptor, use identical
connectors from the same manufacturer on both the FireRaptor and modules, or obtain verication that the connectors to be used
are compatible.
If the IMO FireRaptor is to be mounted directly to the PV frame or module, obtain guidance from the module manufacturer regarding
it’s location and also verify the impact on the module warranty.
