- Tigo Rapid TS4-A-F is a rapid shut down ONLY is used to add PV Solar module level shut down within 30 seconds. This is a visual look at the equipment and the interconnecting components. This Tigo unit is installed on a Sol-ark 12kW inverter using the core and RSS transmitter. You may get interference if you put it inside the inclosure so you will have to install it outside the electrical enclosure that comes with the RSS Transmitter kit. On this installation one of the arrays is about 125 feet away. I will do an up date on this video if it does not work.

Yes I put the transmitter inside the Sol-ark and it works just fine. No issues. At first it seemed like it did not have DC voltage form the panels. I simply did a complete restart of the inverter and everything started working just fine.
Thanks for making this video. I was just installing one of these kits and I was confused on why it didn’t come with a little 12 V DC plug. Got it all figured out quick.
Great overview! It is so important to only feed either the positive or negative home runs through the Core. Also, ensure the polarity is correct when you attach the Core leads to the RSS Transmitter.
Just an FYI, I talked to Sol-Ark support and they did confirm that the pin out inside Sol-Ark is not enough! The pinout on the Sol-Ark will strain on the pins since these are limited to 100mA, whereas the transmitter will pull 850mA on average and as much as 1Amp, do use the enclosed 120AC to 12VDC on the Critical Loads panel with an external interruptor button near the RSD sign.
Thank you very much, this answers my questions exactly.
where can I get the power supply for this
Does the Sol-Ark cut that DC power supply when it loses grid power?
That DC disconnect is not what a fireman would recognize as a rapid shutdown switch. Also these units are often located indoors.
Hi! Can you mix the 700w tigos with the 500w?
I have this entire system almost installed only to find out the pins on the solark don’t output enough power to do this… my critical loads panel is nowhere near this inverter. I have to Jerry rig something from the ac output and pray it passes inspection? Total fail from solark. There is definately a lack of integrity in that company. Why would they claim it works when you have to use a workaround?
The information you presented here was good, however your audio was terrible.
I see that your newer videos do have better audio. Maybe you could redo this video someday, and hide this one from being listed? Not important really, but...yeah.
I was just looking at the Tigo system, and it seems to fit exactly what I want to do. Though, i want an offgrid system, so my setup will be slightly different than yours with the tigo. i likely won't go with the optimizer ones, but who knows, maybe i could upgrade later.
How do you sync the transmitter with the modules? like, what if other people around you are using the tigo system, how does it differentiate your system from others systems?
If I have 32pcs TS4-A-F installed on 32 solar panels (one for each panel), do I only need one transmitter?
I don't know 100% the answer to your question, however in one of the documentations that i read on the transmitter, it says 100a per RSS core, and there can be 2 cores per transmitter.
and in the manual it says
Max number of strings per RSS Core: 10
Max string length: 30 modules
so it seems to me, like it has a limit of 30 modules. if you got the module that can have 2 panels on it, then youd only need 1 transmitter (depending on how you have them wired)
The manual also says:
"In order to maintain signal integrity, the RSS Transmitter has a specified maximum
round-trip distance from positive to negative of 300m (985ft). If the longest string
in a system exceeds 300m, but is less than 500m, two cores may be used in series
on the string to amplify the signal."
Sorry i can't give a simple answer to that.
Also, I am aware that your comment is a year old, so if you already got your answer, then thats great! (id hope by now you got your answer, but you never know)
@@alericjohansen6775 Thank you.
I have dealt with it already. I have installed 130pcs modules using 65pcs TS4-A-F alternately on each modules, and uses only one transmitter with single core. It works well.
Can i use RSS transmitter dual core to replase a rss single core?
Turn off the music, can barley hear you..
