Tigo TS4-A-O Installation Quick Start Guide
Product Overview: TS4-A-O Optimization
The TS4-A-O is an advanced add-on solution designed to bring smart module functionality to standard Photovoltaic (PV) modules. It enhances PV modules with optimization, rapid shutdown capabilities, and module-level monitoring.
Specifications:
- Maximum power: 500W
- Maximum voltage: 90VDC
- Maximum current: 12ADC
- Maximum string voltage: 1000V/1500V (depending on connectors)
Wiring Methods: Use ANSI/NFPA 70 wiring methods. Connectors from different manufacturers cannot be mated with each other.
Important Notes:
- Modules must not be installed in readily accessible locations (Canada only).
- TAP power supply must be on the same AC branch circuit as the inverter to meet automatic AC loss shutdown requirements. If CCA is supplying power to TAP, the CCA power supply must also be on the same AC branch circuit as the inverter.
Installation Steps
Follow these steps for connecting the TS4-A-O units:
-
Step 1: Connect to PV Module
Connect the input cables from the PV module to the TS4-A-O unit. The positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on the PV module cables are connected to the corresponding inputs on the TS4-A-O unit.
-
Step 2: Connect Output Cables in Series
Connect the output cables of the TS4-A-O units in series. The positive (+) output cable of one unit connects to the negative (-) input cable of the next unit in the string.
-
Step 3: Completed String Connection
The final configuration shows multiple TS4-A-O units connected in series, forming a complete PV string.
Note on Installation: When installing TS4-A or TS4-A-Duo, connect the input cables to the PV module before connecting the TS4-A output cables in series. If disconnecting TS4-A or TS4-A-Duo, disconnect the TS4-A output cables from the string before disconnecting the input cables from the PV module.
For frameless modules: Remove metal clips and bolt the TS4-A unit directly to the rail.
Safety Information
High Voltage DANGER: The TS4-A-O units feature Class II double insulation.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Electricity will be supplied to the Tigo TS4-A output cables immediately when connected to a PV module exposed to sunlight. Use care when handling.
Rapid Shutdown Compliance: Tigo Rapid Shutdown is compliant with NEC 690.12-2017 and C22.1-2015 Rule 64.218.
Warning: DO NOT DISCONNECT UNDER LOAD.
