[RE-wrenches] IMO's Fire Raptor

[Sky Sims]

We’ve put in a few hundred fire raptors so far and have no failures on any of their units yet. But we’ve only been using them for a year and what compensation do they offer 10years from now if the unit fails and doubles the customers out of pocket on the system installation?

MLSD is a hassle for sure and I’m no fonder of it than the rest of you but meanwhile a few of my near term off grid installations will be needing a solution. I’ve been dragging my feet submitting a permit package for an upcoming off grid project and at the moment it still seems like the Fire Raptor is the best option from what I can tell. Brad Bassett from AEE had confirmed my suspicion of simplicity and sent me a diagram a bit ago with a 48 to 24vdc converter and relay in place of the traditional AC keep alive converter. Product reliability and future surprises aside, it seems like a fairly basic product to integrate. The client is seriously considering a large carport in place of the house for the PV structure so I’m hoping I can dodge yet another MLSD project but I doubt I’m going to get that lucky. From what I know about IMO’s history in industrial controls it seems like the best option to pair with Outback’s offerings to meet compliance these days.
