WARNIN G: Fire/Ex plosion Hazard
Do not place combustible or flammable materials within 12 feet (3.7 m) 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: Persona l Injury
Use safe lifting techniques and standard safety equipment when working with this equipment.
IM PORTANT:
Clearance and access requirements may vary by location. Maintaining a 36” (91.4 cm) 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.

Ra dia n 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.

voltmeter leads on and .
6. Verify 0 Vdc on the second DC bus by placing the voltmeter leads
on and .
7. Verify 0 Vdc on one PV circuit by placing the voltmeter leads on
and .
8. Verify 0 Vdc on the other PV circuit by placing the voltmeter leads
on and .
9. Verify 0 Vac on the AC output circuit breakers by placing the

WARNIN G: Lethal Volt age
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.
WARNIN G: Lethal Volt age
The numbered steps will remove power from
the inverter and charge controllers. 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.
