Why Choose the IMO FireRaptor FRS-02 Rapid Shutdown Unit?
The IMO FRS-02 FireRaptor Rapid Shutdown Unit is a monitored photovoltaic (PV) rapid shutdown device designed to improve firefighter and installer safety by automatically reducing hazardous DC voltages within a solar installation when the rapid shutdown system is activated or mains power is lost. As part of the IMO FireRaptor Rapid Shutdown System, the FRS-02 helps installations comply with modern PV safety requirements while maintaining reliable system operation.
The FRS-02 is installed alongside PV modules and continuously monitors the shutdown circuit. During normal operation it allows power generation, but when triggered by a compatible FireRaptor emergency shutdown switch or loss of AC supply, it rapidly isolates the associated PV string, reducing voltage to a safer level for emergency responders and maintenance personnel.
Designed for commercial and residential photovoltaic systems, the monitored FRS-02 integrates seamlessly with the FireRaptor ecosystem, including compatible emergency shutdown switches and power supply units, providing dependable operation and straightforward installation.
