APSmart Rapid Shutdown Transmitter-PLC Outdoor Kit

APSmart Single core Transmitter-PLC-Outdoor Kit with power supply rated for 85-264 Volts AC. Manufacturer's part number: 408006 APsmart Transmitter-PLC Outdoor Kit for Solar Rapid Shutdown The APsmart Transmitter-PLC Outdoor Kit provides power-line communication for compatible APsmart RSD-S-PLC module-level rapid shutdown devices. With an IP65-rated enclosure, single- or dual-core configurations, and two AC power supply options, it supports residential and commercial solar installations. While powered on, the transmitter sends a keep-alive signal that allows connected RSD-S-PLC units to maintain PV module output. Switching off the transmitter initiates rapid shutdown through the paired devices. Energy production resumes when transmitter power is restored. Key Features Module-level rapid shutdown support: Designed to meet NEC 2017 and NEC 2020 Section 690.12 requirements when used as part of the specified APsmart rapid shutdown system. SunSpec signaling: Supports SunSpec power-line signaling for rapid shutdown. Outdoor protection: IP65-rated enclosure for outdoor installation. Flexible configurations: Available with one or two transmitter cores. AC power supply options: Choose 85–264 VAC or 180–550 VAC input, depending on the installation. Multi-string support: Supports up to 30 PV modules per string, with string capacity per core determined by cable diameter and current limits.
