DESCRIPTION

The TMAC GSD receives control signals via the mains power input from the electricity supplier and allows the electricity distributor to maintain a stable electricity supply system by instructing the connected Inverter to control its electrical generation output (compliant with Australian Standard AS4777.2:2015 or later).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• The TMAC GSD shall be mounted within the switchboard adjacent to the Inverter.
• The TMAC GSD’s “POWER CABLE” is connected to the Mains Switch Inverter Supply (MSIS) and in accordance with the wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000).
• The TMAC GSD’s “CONTROL CABLE” connects between the GSD and the Inverter’s dedicated Demand Response Mode (DRM) connection terminals. If this cable requires extending it must be joined within the switchboard using a suitable Cat5e (or better) extension cable. The method of extension must comply with the requirements of AS/NZ4755.1 and RJ45 pin assignment in this standard must be maintained.
• The product is intended to be connected to the fixed wiring.
