WARNING: Lethal Voltage
Review the system configuration to identify all possible
sources of energy. Ensure ALL sources of power are
disconnected before performing any installation or
maintenance on this equipment. Confirm that the
terminals are de-energized using a validated voltmeter
(rated for a minimum 1000 Vac and 1000 Vdc) to verify
the de-energized condition.
WARNING: Lethal Voltage
The numbered steps will remove power from the
inverters. However, sources of energy may still be
present inside the GSLC and other locations. To
ensure absolute safety, disconnect ALL power
connections at the source.
WARNING: Burn Hazard
Internal parts can become hot during
operation. Do not remove the cover
during operation or touch any internal
parts. Be sure to allow them
sufficient time to cool down before
attempting to perform any product
maintenance.

WARNING: Fire/Explosion Hazard
Do not place combustible or flammable materials within 3.7 m (12 feet) of the equipment. This unit employs mechanical
relays and is not ignition-protected. Fumes or spills from flammable materials could be ignited by sparks.
WARNING: Personal Injury
Use safe lifting techniques and standard safety equipment when working with this equipment.
IMPORTANT:
Clearance and access requirements may vary by location. Maintaining a 91.4 cm (36") clear space in front of the system for
access is recommended. Consult local electric code to confirm clearance and access requirements for the specific location.

Radian Mounting:
1. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to handle 3 times the total weight of
all the components. Add a piece of plywood if necessary to strengthen the surface.
2. Attach the wall bracket to the surface centering the mounting holes on the sides
with the wall studs. Use all 6 mounting screws to secure the bracket.
3. Lift the inverter so that the inverter bracket is above the wall bracket.
4. Lower the inverter into place so that the inverter bracket slips into the wall bracket.

Control Wiring Terminal Block:
The 12V AUX and RELAY AUX terminals are used to
control the devices which disconnect the grid-tied
inverter (the ROCB and the relays). These devices can
also automatically start a generator if one is present.

To energize the AC-coupled system:
1. Using a digital voltmeter (DVM), verify 48 Vdc
on the DC input terminals by placing the DVM leads
on and .
Confirm that the battery voltage is correct for the
inverter model.
Confirm the polarity.
2. Turn on (close) the DC circuit breakers from the
battery bank to the inverter.
3. Perform all programming (see the next section).
4. If the inverter is in the off state, turn it on.
5. Verify 230 Vac on the AC Output TBB by placing
the DVM leads on and .
6. Turn on (close) the AC output circuit breakers.
7. No voltage should be present on the grid-tied inverter
terminals and . Verify the condition of these terminals
using the DVM.
8. Start the generator (if present). Verify 230 Vac at the location of the AC sources.
9. Turn on the AC input feed to the GSLC at the source.
10. Verify 230 Vac on the GRID IN TBB by placing the DVM leads on and .
11. Verify 230 Vac on the GEN IN TBB by placing the DVM leads on and .
12. Turn on the AC disconnects at the backup (or critical) load panel and test the loads.
13. Turn on (close) the grid AC input circuit breaker.
14. When the rear relay energizes, its LED indicator will illuminate and AC should be present
on the grid-tied inverter terminals and . Verify 230 Vac on these terminals using
the DVM.
15. Check the grid-tied inverter for proper functionality.
Optional steps to test generator and ROCB function:
16. Turn on either the 12V AUX or the RELAY AUX menu item, or the generator circuit breaker
(if present). Turning on any of these three items will energize the front relay .
The LED indicator on the front relay will illuminate. At the same time the ROCB will
automatically turn off (open). No AC should be present on the grid-tied inverter terminals
and . Verify the condition of these terminals with the DVM.
17. Turn off the generator or AUX. The front relay will de-energize. The LED indicator will turn off.
The ROCB will automatically turn on (close). AC should be present on the grid-tied terminals.
Repeat these steps for the other two items from Step 16 if testing is necessary.
