Product Overview
The APsmart 408007 is the Dual Core Transmitter-PLC Outdoor Kit with an 85–264 VAC power supply. APsmart's Outdoor Kit datasheet lists 408007 as "Dual Core Transmitter-PLC-Outdoor Kit, 85-264VAC Power Supply." The kit includes a Transmitter-PLC with two cores, an outdoor enclosure, and the power supply.
While powered, the Transmitter-PLC sends a signal to APsmart RSD units that keeps their PV modules connected. When the transmitter is switched off, the RSD units enter rapid shutdown, and they resume when power returns. APsmart's Outdoor Kit datasheet says the kit meets NEC 2017, 2020&2023 (690.12) requirements and SunSpec requirements.
This listing is the dual-core sibling of AltE's 408006 Single Core Outdoor Kit (same 85–264 VAC supply). APsmart's ordering table lists 408006 as single core and 408007 as dual core. The Outdoor Kit datasheet rates dual-core maximum current at 320 A (160 A × 2).
Best For
- APsmart RSD systems that need an external transmitter with two cores: Where the inverter does not include an integrated SunSpec-certified transmitter, and the design calls for dual-core current capacity (APsmart: 160 A per core, 320 A total).
- Residential sites with an 85–264 VAC supply: APsmart lists the 85–264 VAC supply as its residential option for this Outdoor Kit ordering family. Dual core (part 408007).

What You May Also Need
Usually required
- APsmart RSD units on the modules: See the APsmart RSD-S-PLC. APsmart documents the Transmitter-PLC Outdoor Kit as part of a rapid shutdown solution when paired with APsmart RSD.
- An 85–264 VAC supply on the inverter's AC branch circuit. APsmart's user manual says the Transmitter-PLC power supply and the inverter must be on the same AC branch circuit.
May be required
- Rapid shutdown initiator / emergency stop: APsmart shows an optional emergency stop button box that disconnects transmitter AC power. AltE also lists the APsmart Rapid Shutdown Initiator Switch (BG10P34-11); confirm current APsmart documentation for how an initiator is wired on your design.
- Rapid shutdown labels: See PV Labels 05-523 (2023 NEC) or other NEC label packs AltE carries.
- Conduit fittings: APsmart says the Outdoor Kit enclosure is not punched before delivery; the installer drills openings for conduit.
Optional related equipment
- Other rapid shutdown parts: See rapid shutdown, including the Single Core Outdoor Kit (408006) when a single-core design is specified instead.
Check current manufacturer documentation before combining components, especially batteries, inverters, communications equipment and system-control hardware. Matching voltage or protocol does not by itself confirm that two products are supported together.
Important Considerations
- Same AC branch circuit. APsmart's user manual says the power supply of the Transmitter-PLC and the inverter MUST be on the same AC branch circuit to meet rapid shutdown requirements.
- Core routing. APsmart diagrams say to homerun only PV+ cable through the core (or follow the current manual's positive-or-negative-through-core rules). Do not mix polarities through one core. Fix cores to prevent swing damage.
- Install order. APsmart says to install the RSD-S-PLC units before powering the Transmitter-PLC.
- Dual core vs single core. Choose 408007 when the design needs dual cores / 320 A total core current per APsmart's Outdoor Kit datasheet. Choose 408006 when APsmart's single-core ordering line is specified.
- Inverter pairing. Do not assume a specific string inverter, hybrid inverter or microinverter model is listed. For inverters with an integrated SunSpec-certified transmitter, APsmart says the external transmitter may not be required—check APsmart's current compatible-inverters documentation before design.
