What is RSS Transmitter?

The Tigo RSS Transmitter is a rapid shutdown initiation device that sends a PLC keep-alive signal to compatible Tigo Fire Safety MLPE; when the signal stops, the PV modules enter rapid shutdown.

Why does RSS Transmitter matter for solar safety and code compliance?

Rapid shutdown systems need a reliable signal path. The transmitter is what tells compatible rooftop devices that normal operation is allowed; remove that signal and the array deactivates faster than a squirrel leaving a combiner box.

How it relates to Tigo

The RSS Transmitter works with Tigo TS4-F-family devices and is available with Pure Signal technology for larger or more complex rapid shutdown systems.
