2.1 Intended Use

The TS4-R-F Rapid Shutdown solution is a cost-effective way to meet the requirements of the
UL1741, National Electrical Code® 2014 and 2017. The TS4-R-F is compatible with the
powerline-based Sunspec communication signal for Rapid Shutdown. The signal is easy to
implement due to its reliable functional ability. The communication between inverter and module
electronics is done via the DC conductors. The installation times and labor costs are reduced since
no additional communication product is required. The compliance with the open SunSpec standard
makes the TS4-R-F a flexible solution since it can be combined with various inverters.

Use this product only in accordance with the information provided in the enclosed documentation
and with the locally applicable laws, regulations, standards and directives. Any other application
