The Tigo Access Point, also known as TAP, is an advanced wireless communication device that can help enhance the performance and safety of your solar power system. It acts as a link between Tigo’s TS4 module-level devices and the Cloud Connect Advanced data logger. Through this link, the TAP enables real-time monitoring and control of your solar power system, ensuring efficient data management and rapid shutdown capabilities. This makes the Tigo Access Point an essential piece of equipment for optimizing your system’s reliability and safety.
The TAP is able to wirelessly connect with as many as 300 TS4 units, making it usable in virtually any size of solar power installation. It is also compatible with a number of different TS4 units, including the TS4-A-O, TS4-A-S, and TS4-A-M modules. This broad connection capability makes the Tigo Access Point compatible with a variety of system configurations as well, and allows you to track performance metrics and identify issues promptly in your system. The TAP also integrates with the Tigo SMART App, simplifying the setup process and allowing for quick and intelligent system configuration from your mobile device.
Installing the TAP is incredibly simple, requiring no specialize tools. Its compact design makes it easy to mount directly onto the module frame, and its sturdy construction makes it incredibly resistant to dust and water. It’s also reliable in a wide range of temperatures, from -22° to 158° Fahrenheit. In fact, the Tigo Access Point has both an IP68 and a NEMA 4R rating, both of which attest to its incredible durability in order installations.
