Outback RSD-AFCI ICS Plus PV rapid shutdown for SkyBox. Pre-wired with two contactors and six 600Vdc fuse holders, to support three PV strings

The FWPV3-FH600-S2D is an ICS Plus PV rapid shutdown solution designed specifically for the SkyBox system. It comes pre-wired with two contactors and six 600Vdc fuse holders, facilitating support for three PV strings. The package includes cable glands, touch-safe distribution blocks, a ground bus bar, and grounding lug. It's important to note that fuses are sold separately, and the Rapid Shutdown Initiator (RSI) is also available for purchase separately.

SkyBox Rapid Shutdown Operation:

In the event of a Rapid Shutdown initiation, triggered by a set of normally-closed terminals opening on a Rapid Shutdown Initiator, the SkyBox responds by shutting down. This response is determined by the Rapid Shutdown Response (RSD) menu item, where users can choose between PV or PV and AC shutdown.

When a rapid shutdown event occurs with PV selected, the solar charging is the only portion of the SkyBox shut down.

• Solar charging is shut down.
• The S O L A R tile reads WAITING.
• Grid, load, and other operation continue normally.
• The Off /On button turns yellow (if previously on). If pressed, the button turns red.
• All grid, load, and other operations are turned off.
• The display jumps to the Inverter Fault Status screen.
  NOTE: A fault code will not appear. A Rapid Shutdown initiation is a command given to the SkyBox.
   If the SkyBox was turned off at the time of the shutdown, the O f f /On button will be red. The button will turn yellow if turned on with the shutdown still occurring. NOTE: This behavior will also occur if the Rapid Shutdown terminals are left unconnected.

When a rapid shutdown event occurs with PV and AC selected, all main SkyBox functions are shut down.

• Solar charging is shut down. The S O L A R tile reads WAITING.
• The SkyBox disconnects from the grid. The G R I D tile reads WAITING.
• The inverting function is shut down. The L O A D tile reads OFF.
• The O f f /On button remains green (if previously on). If pressed, the button turns gray and all grid, load, and other operation are turned off.
• If the SkyBox was turned off at the time of the shutdown, the O f f /On button will be gray. The buttonwill not respond. The SkyBox cannot be turned on until the shutdown is resolved.
