Intended Use

With the innovative TS4 module technology, every PV module can now be flexibly equipped with
an additional function. The TS4 module technology offers integrated power electronics with various
functions. With the TS4-R-M, the entire PV system can be monitored at the module level. The TS4-R-S
switches off and monitors the PV system at module level. The TS4-R-O optimizes the performance of
a string in partial shading or different roof orientations.
In combination with the Gateway-2 and the Cloud Connect Advanced, the TS4-R-O can also switch
off and monitor the PV system at module level.

the product.
To prevent personal injury and property damage and to ensure long-term operation of the product,
read this section carefully and observe all safety information at all times.
Danger to life due to high voltages of the PV array
When exposed to light, the PV array generates dangerous DC voltage, which is present in the
DC conductors and the live components of the inverter. Touching the DC conductors or the live
components can lead to lethal electric shocks.
• Disconnect the product from voltage sources and make sure it cannot be reconnected
before working on the device.
