ARC-800DC OPTIMISER

ARC-800 · DC optimiser

ARC-800 is a module-level DC power optimiser for photovoltaic systems that retain a string inverter. It conditions the module output, communicates operating information over the DC cabling by PLC and supports module-level shutdown within the compatible optimiser/gateway system. The related official operating source is named Archai iOPT 800W; confirm hardware applicability and revision before applying its installation sequence.

Hauptmerkmale

  • Module-level DC optimisation
  • PLC communication over the DC cabling
  • PV voltage, output, temperature and operating-state data
  • Shutdown functionality in the compatible system

Anwendung und Dokumentationsumfang

Commercial information

  • The supplied Catalogue states a 12-year standard warranty for this range. Applicable coverage and any extension are governed by the supply agreement; this is not a universal 25-year warranty. The source design-life statement of more than 25 years is distinct from warranty coverage.

Installation and document scope

  • The related operating source uses the Archai iOPT / GT hardware aliases. Confirm applicability to the supplied revision; request the relevant English manual through the website form.

Produktdownloads

English operating documents are available by application. Confirm the model, catalogue edition and supplied hardware revision; technical-guide coverage and unresolved installation chapters are stated in the document.

Module-level AC conversion
ASM and ASPM micro-inverters convert PV module DC to grid-connected AC. Their specified monitoring path uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. The number of PV inputs and the number of independent MPPT channels are separate characteristics.
DC optimisation with a string inverter
ARC-800 optimisers retain the DC string architecture. ARC-GT gathers compatible optimiser data by PLC and connects to the host over Wi-Fi or RS-485. SolarSync content here applies to this optimiser/gateway ecosystem.
Module-level rapid shutdown
ASR-15S and ASR-15D provide shutdown and monitoring in the compatible HPLC system. They are not micro-inverters or per-module MPPT optimisers. System matching and applicable installation instructions remain essential.

SolarSync · Überwachung des Optimierersystems

SolarSync provides a layout-oriented view of compatible optimisers and their operating information. The official Archai iOPT / GT operating source describes the layout, discovery and status workflows below. Confirm the supplied hardware and software revision before commissioning.

Prepare the layout

  • Record each optimiser serial number against its physical module position.
  • In Layout, select Add and enter the identifier and row/column information. Save the layout.
  • Arrange the module positions and save changes; use the recorded serial-number map to check correspondence.

Read system information

  • Use the layout to inspect the operating information shown for the selected optimiser.
  • The source describes green for normal operation, grey for offline and red for a fault. Confirm the legend for the installed software revision.
  • For an offline entry, check its recorded serial number and follow the applicable discovery procedure. Refer unresolved faults to technical support.

This workflow is specific to the compatible optimiser/gateway system. The separate monitoring-system guide referenced by the supplied ASM/ASPM manuals is required for those products; SolarSync compatibility must not be assumed.
