APsmart Transmitter-PLC Outdoor Kit 408006

The APsmart 408006 is a single-core Transmitter-PLC Outdoor Kit with a universal 85–264 Vac power supply. When paired with APsmart RSD-S-PLC rapid-shutdown devices, it continuously sends the keep-alive PLC signal during normal operation and triggers rapid shutdown when switched off—meeting NEC 2017 (690.12) and SunSpec signaling requirements for residential or commercial PV systems.

Key Benefits

Code-Compliant Rapid Shutdown: Meets NEC 2017 690.12 using SunSpec PLC signaling when used with RSD-S-PLC units.

Single-Core Kit (Residential PSU): Includes 85–264 Vac → 12 Vdc supply and outdoor enclosure for quick installs.

High Through-Current: Core rated up to 300 A (150 A ×2 pathways) and 1500 Vdc systems.

Scalable Strings: Supports up to 30 modules per string; up to 15 strings per core (dependent on cable OD).

Outdoor-Ready: IP65 enclosure and −40 to +85 °C operating range.

Special Technology

Power-Line Communication (PLC): Transmits keep-alive over DC conductors to RSD-S-PLC devices; modules enter shutdown when the transmitter is off.

Warranty

Manufacturer’s Standard Warranty (APsmart).

Best Uses

Residential & C&I Rooftops: Centralized rapid-shutdown control with RSD-S-PLC at each module.
