Solar PV Firefighter Safety
```Solar PV modules can continue generating DC electricity while exposed to sunlight, even when other parts of a property's electrical installation have been isolated. The Santon Firefighter Safety Switch provides a means of remotely disconnecting the DC output from the PV array to help reduce the presence of live DC cabling within a building during an emergency.
When activated, the system disconnects the PV installation through the motorised switching mechanism. This allows the DC supply from the solar array to be shut down from the designated control point, helping provide a safer environment for emergency personnel accessing the property.
```Automatic and Remote DC Disconnection
```The EVO2 Firefighter Safety Switch is designed for automatic and remote operation. The PV array can be disconnected through a simple action at the associated control-panel interface.
Depending on the wider Santon system configuration, remote actuation can also be achieved using a mobile phone network. This provides additional flexibility for installations where remote shutdown capability is required.
```40A 1000V 4P Configuration
```This model is rated at 40A and 1000V DC and uses a 4-pole switching arrangement. The unit is configured to accommodate two MPPT circuits, making it suitable for compatible solar PV systems incorporating two independent string inputs.
The switch is supplied pre-wired with 8 MC4 connectors, providing the required PV connection points for the specified configuration. An M12 cable gland is also included for the associated cabling arrangement.
```Pre-Wired MC4 Connections
```The Santon EVO2 is supplied with 8 x MC4 connectors already configured as part of the unit. This provides a straightforward connection arrangement for compatible PV strings while reducing the amount of additional DC connector preparation required during installation.
Always verify connector compatibility, polarity, voltage, current and system configuration before installation.
```Applications
```- Residential solar PV installations
- Commercial solar PV systems
- Two-MPPT photovoltaic installations
- PV systems requiring remote DC isolation
- Firefighter and emergency-response safety systems
- Solar installations requiring automatic PV array shutdown
Installation Information
```The Santon Firefighter Safety Switch should be installed by a suitably qualified solar PV or electrical installer in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions and all applicable electrical requirements.
The complete PV system should be assessed to ensure that the switch rating, number of poles, maximum DC voltage, maximum current, MPPT configuration and connector arrangement are suitable for the installation.
Correct integration with the associated control panel and remote shutdown system is essential to ensure that the firefighter safety function operates as intended.
