Alternative System Requirements
The ICS Plus can be used in systems with varying requirements, or with third-party equipment. Some
systems may only need certain ICS Plus components, rather than the entire system. This may depend
on the applicable codes.
NOTE:
All systems depicted here assume the use of a PV combiner with AFCI protection required.

IMPORTANT:
When BKR-CTRL-DC is not used and no
J4
input is provided to the RSI,
J4
must have pins
1 and 2 connected together with a jumper. (See page 16.) This provides the RSI Safe signal
that otherwise would not be present.
