Why Choose the IMO FireRaptor FRS-02 Rapid Shutdown Unit?
The IMO FRS-02 FireRaptor Rapid Shutdown Unit is a monitored photovoltaic (PV) rapid shutdown device designed to improve firefighter and installer safety by automatically reducing hazardous DC voltages within a solar installation when the rapid shutdown system is activated or mains power is lost. As part of the IMO FireRaptor Rapid Shutdown System, the FRS-02 helps installations comply with modern PV safety requirements while maintaining reliable system operation.
The FRS-02 is installed alongside PV modules and continuously monitors the shutdown circuit. During normal operation it allows power generation, but when triggered by a compatible FireRaptor emergency shutdown switch or loss of AC supply, it rapidly isolates the associated PV string, reducing voltage to a safer level for emergency responders and maintenance personnel.
Designed for commercial and residential photovoltaic systems, the monitored FRS-02 integrates seamlessly with the FireRaptor ecosystem, including compatible emergency shutdown switches and power supply units, providing dependable operation and straightforward installation.
Key Advantages
- Provides rapid shutdown of photovoltaic strings.
- Monitored operation for enhanced system safety.
- Compatible with the IMO FireRaptor Rapid Shutdown System.
- Automatically activates during emergency shutdown or AC power loss.
- Helps improve firefighter and maintenance safety.
- Simple installation within new or existing PV systems.
Key Features
- IMO FireRaptor monitored rapid shutdown unit.
- Designed for photovoltaic installations.
- Rapid DC voltage reduction during emergency shutdown.
- Continuous monitoring of shutdown circuit.

Designed for Safer Solar Installations
The FireRaptor FRS-02 continuously supervises the rapid shutdown circuit during normal operation. If the emergency stop system is activated or AC power is removed, the unit disconnects the associated PV string, helping reduce dangerous DC voltages throughout the installation.
By incorporating monitored rapid shutdown technology, the FRS-02 helps improve safety for emergency services, maintenance engineers and installers working on photovoltaic systems while supporting modern PV installation practices.
