OK. So did you run a line 120V up to the box on the roof to energize the
coil of the relay up there?

What unit did you use?

We have installed some of these rapid shut down units and they
are always located close to the array and ours kill the DC
instantly as long as the inverter was running when this accures
did not test it with inverters already off.

We have a interpretation problem among some people I work
with with, and 690.12 Rapid Shut Down and the the 10 second
time for reducing ac and dc conductors to 240ma, and 30V.
The word "initiation" seems to indicate that all affected
conductors need to be at these levels within 10 seconds of
de-energizing either the ac or dc conductors. If so, then the
disconnects need to be co-located to meet this requirement if
this interpretation is correct.
I have read Mr. Brook's article in Solar Pro, but AHJs may
feel differently.
Would anyone care to weigh in on their interpretation?
Thank you, Chris
