TS4-A-O/S/M with TAP and CCA
Quick Start Guide
Visit the TigoEnergy.com Help Center and Downloads pages for comprehensive videos, articles,
and other resources for all Tigo products.
• All PVRSE components must be installed and
maintained by qualied personnel in accordance with
applicable electrical codes and instructions in the
TS4-A with CCA and TAP Installation Manual.
• Improper installation may cause damage not covered
by the warranty.
• Adhere to ANSI/NFPA 70 (North America) and local
electrical code requirements.
1. Save the QR/barcode sticker on a site map or
string list.
2. Attach the TS4 to the top of the PV module frame.
If frame thickness is ≤35mm (1.4in), install with the
TS4 label facing the PV module.
3. Connect the short input cables to the PV module.
4. Connect the long output leads to the adjacent TS4.
Install TS4s
• Always assume that TS4s are in an ON state.
• Ensure cable glands face down and cannot collect moisture.
• Disconnect TS4s from the array string before disconnecting
from a PV module.
• Always connect short input cables before connecting
long output cables. Failure to do so may void warranty.
System Layout
• The Cloud Connect Advanced (CCA) data logger/gateway connects to the cloud via Ethernet
or WiFi and to other devices via Modbus.
• The CCA has a wired connection to the Tigo Access Point (TAP).
• The TAP communicates wirelessly with TS4-A-O/S/M MLPE via a mesh network.
CCA TAP TS4s
• Do not install TS4s if they have been physically damaged or with damaged or
substandard wiring or connectors.
• Do not connect or disconnect TS4s under load.
• When used as a PVRSS solution, all solar modules in the array must be
equipped with TS4-A-O/S and TAP PVRSE with a permanent or temporary (for
commissioning) CCA. Rapid shutdown is initiated upon AC power loss that stops
power to the TAP.

TS4-A-O/S/M with TAP and CCA
Quick Start Guide
Install a CCA Requires Ethernet or WiFi internet access. One CCA can communicate with up to 7 TAPs and up to 900 TS4s.
1. Mount the CCA within a NEMA 1 (indoors) or NEMA 4 (outdoors) enclosure.
2. Connect TAP wires to the CCA GATEWAY port.
3. Connect a Tigo or 3rd-party power supply with 24VDC output.
• The CCA must be on the same AC branch circuit as the inverter.
• Rapid shutdown occurs when an AC disconnect (inverter or switch) disconnects power to the CCA/TAP.
• Make all connections to TAPs before powering on the CCA.

LED Activity State Description
Solid green System OK The system is operating normally.
Blinking green/gray EI app activity The CCA is connected to the Tigo mobile EI app.
Blinking green/yellow User PV-O The PV-O mode was manually activated.
Blinking yellow/gray Discovery The CCA is scanning for TAPs/TS4s.
Solid yellow Warning Scanning is incomplete or the CCA cannot connect to the Tigo server.
Blinking red/yellow Auto PV-O The PV-O mode was automatically activated.
Solid red Error The CCA cannot nd all TS4s or cannot connect to the Tigo server.
Locate the TAP centrally in an array.

Connect the TAP and CCA using 4-wire or CAT5/6 cables.
– + B A
Install a TAP One TAP can communicate with up to 300 TS4s.
• Ensure the TAP is within 10m (33ft) of a TS4.
• Ensure the cable glands of the NEMA 4 TAP face down and
cannot collect moisture.
• Make all TAP connections to the CCA before powering on the CCA.

TS4 PV conductors are 12 AWG.
The combination of TS4-A-O/S with TAP and CCA is certied as a UL 1741 photovoltaic rapid shutdown system
(PVRSS) within a rapid shutdown time limit of 30s. The CCA data logger/gateway (P/N 346-00000-00) is powered
from the same AC circuit as the rapid shutdown initiator (RSI) circuit. It provides a keep-alive signal to TS4 MLPE
via a wired connection to a TAP and a wireless connection between the TAP and TS4s.
The installer must install signage complying with Section 690.56(C) of NEC NFPA 70 and indicating whether all
conductors are controlled, or only conductors leaving the footprint of the array are controlled.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO ENSURE THAT THE COMPLETED PV SYSTEM MEETS RAPID
SHUT DOWN FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS.
Modules must not be installed in readily accessible locations (Canada only).
Connectors from dierent manufacturers cannot be mated with each other.
1Depending on connection method.
2Not a rapid shutdown system (PVRSS) component.
Testing/Commissioning
Download the Tigo Energy Intelligence (EI) mobile app to test and commission all TS4/TAP/CCA components. To
remove a CCA post-commissioning, contact Tigo Support.
