APsmart Transmitter-PLC Outdoor Kit, Single Core, 85–264VAC Power Supply – 408006

Product Overview The APsmart 408006 is the Single Core Transmitter-PLC Outdoor Kit with an 85–264 VAC power supply. APsmart says the kit includes a Transmitter-PLC with one core, an outdoor enclosure and the power supply. While powered, the Transmitter-PLC sends a signal to APsmart RSD units that keeps their PV modules connected. When the transmitter is switched off, the RSD units enter rapid shutdown, and they resume when power returns. APsmart's Outdoor Kit datasheet says the kit meets NEC 2017, 2020&2023 (690.12) requirements and SunSpec requirements. Best For APsmart RSD-S-PLC systems that need an external transmitter: Where the inverter does not include an integrated SunSpec-certified transmitter. Residential sites with an 85–264 VAC supply: APsmart lists this supply as its residential option. Single core.

An 85–264 VAC supply on the inverter's AC branch circuit. May be required Rapid shutdown labels: APsmart says to place the rapid shutdown system label within 1 m (3 ft) of the Transmitter-PLC or AC disconnect. See PV Labels 05-523 (2023 NEC). Conduit fittings: APsmart says the enclosure is not punched before delivery. The manual gives drilling guides for 3/4" and 1" conduit. Optional upgrades Other rapid shutdown parts: See rapid shutdown. Check current manufacturer documentation before combining components, especially batteries, inverters, communications equipment and system-control hardware. Important Considerations Same AC branch circuit. APsmart's user manual says the power supply of the Transmitter-PLC and the inverter MUST be on the same AC branch circuit to meet rapid shutdown requirements. Core routing. Pass either both positive or both negative cables through a core, never one of each, and follow the core diagrams in APsmart's current user manual. Install order. APsmart says to install the RSD-S-PLC units before powering the Transmitter-PLC. Inverter list. For inverters with an integrated SunSpec-certified transmitter, check the APsmart Compatible Inverters list (apsmartglobal.com), viewed Oct 8, 2026; no revision number. Inverter pairing. Do not assume a specific string inverter, hybrid inverter or microinverter model is listed. Check the maker's current certified list and the document revision or view date before design.
