APSmart Rapid Shutdown Solutions Single Core Transmitter-PLC (no power supply)

When it comes to rapid shutdown solutions, the APSmart Single Core Transmitter offers greater flexibility and simpler installation than most options. This device is a pivotal component in ensuring safety and compliance within your solar power system. Designed to work seamlessly with APSmart rapid shutdown devices, this transmitter makes those devices functional and aligns with NEC requirements as well as SunSpec signaling standards. With these certifications, you can feel certain that the APSmart Single Core Transmitter is built to the highest standards of safety.

This transmitter’s single-core design simplifies installation and reduces wiring complexity, cutting down on installation time and costs, while also enhancing your system’s reliability. The transmitter uses Power Line Communication, or PLC, to send a consistent “keep alive” signal to the module-level rapid shutdown units.

The PLC communication protocol maintains consistent connectivity during normal operation. If the signal from the transmitter is lost due to system shutdown (whether in an emergency or for maintenance), the rapid shutdown devices will immediately disconnect and de-energize your panels for the safety of your equipment, property, family, and any emergency responders or maintenance personnel.

This particular APSmart Single Core Transmitter doesn’t come with an integrated power supply. While that may sound like a drawback, in reality, the lack of power supply provides flexibility for system designers and installers—and that means greater flexibility for you in designing your solar power system. Depending on the specific requirements of your installation, you can choose the right external power supply for your needs. This helps ensure compatibility with your system’s voltage specifications and your other needs.

With many rapid shutdown solutions available to you, why choose the APSmart Single Core Transmitter? This device meets the strictest of industry standards, ensuring your solar installation adheres to all current electrical codes. The absence of an integrated power supply, as mentioned above, offers flexibility for your system design, but it also allows for simplified installation thanks to reduced wiring complexity. That simplicity can save time and labor costs, but also reduce potential points of failure in your system.
