Description Tigo Access Point – TAPTigo TAP Description The Tigo Access Point (TAP) improves the data management of your solar system through seamless communication with Tigo Smart modules and retrofit devices. TAP significantly improves the level of security at module level deactivation. Combined with a Cloud Connect Advanced (CCA), the TAP offers unsurpassed insights into your PV system. Tigo TAP FunctionsAccess point that pairs with the CCA for use with TS4-A-O, TS4-A-S, and TS4-A-M Tigo TAP Features and benefitsWirelessly communicates directly with TS4 unitsEasy installation on the module frame without toolsUse the Tigo SMART App on a mobile device for quick startupWhen paired with the Cloud Connect Advanced (CCA), enables wireless module level monitoring Tigo Access Point Design Considerations A CCA should control all TS4s on all strings connected to a specific inverter or MPPT. Install the CCA near this inverter with access to AC power and the internet. Ethernet and WiFi are built in.For PV RSS compliance, the CCA must be on the same AC branch circuit as the inverter(s) it is controlling. The rapid shutdown initiator, whether it is an automatic disconnect or a manual switch, must turn off power to the CCA.One CCA can communicate with up to 7 TAPs and up to 900 TS4s.Make all connections to TAPs before powering on the CCA.The DC power supply may be a Tigo supply or a 3rd-party supply with 120/240V AC input and 24V DC output.A CCA also includes two three-pin RS-485 connections to enable up to 32 Modbus communications with 3rd-party data sources such as inverters, charge controllers, revenue-grade meters, and weather monitoring. Tigo Access Point Install Procedure To install a TAP using a ferruled four-wire RS-485 cable: 1. Run the cable from the CCA GATEWAY terminal to the TAP. If using more than 1 TAP per CCA, run the cable to the first TAP in the series. 2. Connect cable wires to the left side of the TAP using either the quick-connect or the terminal block. 3. If connecting to another TAP, use the right-side terminals after removing the pre-installed 120Ω terminating resistor. 4. At the last TAP, leave the terminating resistor in the right-side terminal block. 5. Attach the TAP to the PV module frame using its metal mounting bracket. SKU:158-00000-02
