Product Overview:

The Tigo 490-00000-51 RSS Transmitter is a single-core, DIN rail-mounted device that utilizes Power Line Communication (PLC) to send a continuous "keep-alive" signal to Tigo's TS4-F units. This signal maintains the connection of PV modules during normal operation. In the event of an emergency or when the system is powered down, the absence of this signal triggers the TS4-F units to rapidly shut down the modules, enhancing safety for maintenance personnel and first responders.

Pure Signal Technology:

One of the standout features of this RSS Transmitter is Tigo's patented Pure Signal Technology. In installations requiring multiple transmitters, Pure Signal Technology coordinates the signals to minimize interference, ensuring reliable communication even in large and complex PV systems.

Installation and Compatibility:

The 490-00000-51 model is designed for straightforward installation without the need for a commissioning process. It is compatible with a broad range of UL-listed residential and commercial inverters, making it a versatile choice for various PV system configurations.

Scalability:

Whether you're working on a small residential project or a large utility-scale installation, the Tigo RSS Transmitter offers the scalability needed to ensure safety and compliance across all system sizes.

Safety and Compliance:

Adhering to NEC 690.12 rapid shutdown requirements for 2014, 2017, and 2020, this transmitter ensures that your PV installation meets the latest safety standards, providing peace of mind for both installers and system owners.
