APSmart Dual Core Transmitter-PLC Outdoor Kit IP65 - with 277/480 VAC Power Supply

The APSmart Dual Core Transmitter is a crucial element in a solar power system to ensure safety and compliance with National Electrical Code (NEC) standards. Equipped with 2 cores, this transmitter can manage up to 30 strings of solar panels, making it suitable for larger solar power installations, including commercial systems. The included power supply has a wide input voltage range as well, accepting between 180 and 550 VAC, all while delivering a stable 12VDC output at 0.8 amps for consistent performance.

Like most rapid shutdown devices, the APSmart Dual Core Transmitter uses Power Line Communication, or PLC, to send a continuous “keep alive” signal to the module-level rapid shutdown devices. So long as the transmitter is powered on and sending this signal, your system will continue to work as normal. If the transmitter powers off—either due to an emergency or because you shut off the system for maintenance—the absence of that “keep alive” signal prompts the rapid shutdown devices to disconnect the panels. This effectively shuts down the system at the panel level, quickly de-energizing the entire system.

The APSmart Dual Core Transmitter sends its continuous “keep alive” signal over existing electrical wiring. Using electrical wiring that has already been installed simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional communication lines. The use of this transmitter in a residential or commercial solar power system helps to protect your equipment, your home, and anyone who may come into contact with your solar power system, including first responders and maintenance personnel.

Installing rapid shutdown devices and transmitters like the APSmart Dual Core Transmitter is a safety requirement, and this particular transmitter helps to ensure your system meets current NEC and SunSpec standards. But beyond compliance, this transmitter offers enhanced safety for your property, as well as impressive scalability. The transmitter’s dual-core design allows for expansion to accommodate your growing energy needs without needing a complete system overhaul.

This transmitter also comes equipped with a PLC Outdoor Kit with an IP65 rating. That rating means the casing will protect the internal components from wind-blown dust and rain, allowing it to stand up to harsh environmental conditions. With this level of protection, you can feel confident that your APSmart Dual Core Transmitter will continue to function as it should for many years.
