Acceptance Criteria
---|---|---
| ****
TS4 installation
| ****
All PV modules are connected to a TS4-F/TS4-A-F/TS4-A-2F.
| ****
Tigo RSS Transmitter
| ****
The Tigo RSS Transmitter is installed per the RSS Transmitter Installation Manual. If Inverter integrated, follow the inverter manufacturer’s instructions for signal/power.
| ****
Connections
| ****
All connectors are securely mated and of same type.
| ****
Voltage check
| ****
The TS4-A-F passes 0.6VDC when the keep-alive signal is not present. String voltage = 0.6V x # of modules in the string
| ****
Wire Management
| All conductors are properly secured throughout the array. ANSI/NFPA 70 wiring methods used. Multi-transmitter systems either:
• have followed the PV Conductor Installation Required Practices in the full Manual,
• or have installed the Tigo RSS Transmitter 2.0 and have linked all transmitters in the system together.
| ****
Workmanship
| ****
Wire management and general best practices were used.
Commissioning notes
- Each PV string will produce less than 30VDC until the RSS Transmitter is activated/powered.
- When power is provided to the RSS Transmitter the PV strings will produce full voltage under environmental conditions.
- Commission the PV system as per best
Troubleshooting
Issue
| ****
Check
---|---
No string voltage
| ****
Check that all string connectors are securely connected.
Lower voltage than expected
| Check that all PV module connectors are securely connected.
Note – with no keep-alive signal the string voltage will equal: # PV modules x 0.6VDC Check that the RSS transmitter is powered on.
Inconsistent voltage reading when no signal is present| 1. Apply power to the RSS Transmitter
2. Use an RSS Signal Detector to determine if the individual TS4s are receiving the keep alive signal.
