The RSD maintains the modules working by continuously receiving a heartbeat signal from a transmitter. The transmitter can be external or integrated into the inverter. In case of an emergency, enable the external initiator to shut down the transmitter. The RSD will stop working and shut down the modules after the transmitter signal absenting.
