The UL-certified TS4-A-2F complies with NEC 2017 690.12 Rapid Shutdown specifications when installed with Tigo’s UL-certified RSS Transmitter or an inverter with Tigo's built-in RSS Transmitter. The unit’s powerline communication can be easily verified with Tigo’s RSS Signal Detector. System owners can ensure safety by upgrading existing PV systems or by adding these safety features to new installations. With this improved lightweight hardware, lower labor costs, and application for two modules, the TS4-A-2F is quickly becoming the most adopted rapid shutdown solution in the industry.
The highlights of TS4-A-2F include:
- Maximum Total Power is 1000W for two modules
- Maximum Current is 15A per input
- Available as 1500V UL
- UL-certified as NEC 2017 Rapid Shutdown Solution
- Snap to standard module frame or rack mounting
- Module-level deactivation with automatic or manual shutdown
- PV array enters rapid shutdown in event of AC grid loss
- Powerline communication (PLC) signaling
- Smaller unit dimensions with reduced weight per unit by 25%
- Reduced shipping costs with 33% more units per pallet
- Recessed mounting allows shipments of pre-assembled PV modules
- Improved heat dissipation with over-temperature and over-voltage protection
- Improved IP68 rating for greater outdoor exposure

KA Imaging’s X-ray Detector Allows Any X-ray System to Be Upgraded to Dual-Energy27.2.2020 11:00:00 EET | Press release
Canadian manufacturer KA Imaging is preparing to launch Reveal, a premium x-ray detector that upgrades any x-ray system to Dual-Energy. “Reveal is the ideal retrofit solution as it will fit into any ISO standard size tray”, explains Amol Karnick, president and CEO of KA Imaging. Thanks to this feature, the cost of implementation can be reduced to a fraction of the price: whereas conventional dual exposure dual-energy systems can cost as high as half a million dollars, KA Imaging’s Reveal can be obtained at a quarter of this price. “You can simply replace your old detector with Reveal, as it will work with any conventional portable or fixed x-ray source”, continues Amol. The competitive pricing strategy is just one of the advantages. KAI developed a unique technology that can improve dual-energy x-ray images. Reveal is the world’s first portable digital detector capable of separating different energy levels with a single exposure. It delivers three images: traditional DR, soft tissue an

DSB to Divest Spare Part Workshops27.2.2020 10:00:00 EET | Press release
Due to structural changes DSB is investigating the market with a view to divesting the activities at the workshops which deliver and maintain spare parts for the trains. Until 2030, Fremtidens Tog (Future Trains) will gradually replace the train sets that DSB is currently operating. This implies that DSB will no longer have the same need to operate its own spare part workshops. Besides, DSB’s coming generation of electric train sets, Fremtidens Tog, are to be maintained by the train supplier and not by DSB, meaning that DSB will have fewer options to redeploy staff from the spare part workshops. Therefore DSB is now transferring the areas of Supply, Logistics & Refurbishment to an independent company to investigate a divestment to a private third party in collaboration with SEB Corporate Finance. As part of this potential transaction, DSB will enter into an agreement with the divested company for delivery and maintenance of spare parts until 2024 with an extension option. As an indepen
