Part Replacement Instructions

Single Inverter
If there is only one Radian inverter, then the replacement should contain the latest firmware available. This
may not match the existing revision that was in the replaced module but contains equivalent or improved
functionality and features. Make certain the latest revision is installed. It can be found on the OutBack
or AOE website www.alpha-outback-energy.com
1.
Apply power to the inverter by turning on the DC circuit breakers. Keep the AC circuit breakers in the OFF position.
2.
Use the MATE3 to verify the firmware within the inverter. Upgrade the firmware if necessary. Instructions for this
are located in the
Radian Series Inverter/Charger Operator’s Manual
and the
MATE3 System Display and Controller
Owner’s Manual.
3.
Program the inverter by re-installing the configuration file, running the configuration wizard, or manually accessing
the inverter’s settings and making the appropriate changes.
NOTE
: Radian models GS3548E and GS4048A must be re-programmed for their specific model. Using the MATE3,
press the “LOCK” button, press the “UP” button, and insert the “Installer” password. The default password is
[1][7][3][2] but may have been changed. If necessary, contact the installer or
AOE
Technical Support. Press the
center button, scroll down to “Model Select”, press the center button and then change the model to the correct
version (labeled on the left side of the Radian chassis as well is within the chassis in the upper right-hand corner).
The results of this model change will take effect within 1 minute of making this change. Please allow this amount
of time to pass without making any further changes to settings.
4.
Turn on the AC input circuit breakers and an AC input source to verify that the correct voltage is present at the
inverter. Verification can be through a voltmeter or the MATE3.
5.
If the system is in bypass mode, return it to normal mode, connecting the AC output of the inverter system to the
loads. Verify that the voltage is correct through a voltmeter or the MATE3.
6.
Re-apply power to any other items that were powered down during the repair of the inverter. This may include
reactivating the automatic generator start feature, if present.
Multiple Stacked Inverters
All inverters in a system must have the same firmware revision number. After replacing a PCBA module in a
system with multiple Radian inverters, the replacement should contain the latest firmware available. This
revision may not match other inverters in the system but contains equivalent or improved functionality and
features. Make certain the latest revision is installed. It can be found on the OutBack website,
AOE
www.alpha-outback-energy.com. All inverters should have the
latest revision. If the firmware revisions within a multiple stacked inverter system do not match, all
inverters whose firmware does not match the Master inverter’s firmware will not operate. The revision of
each inverter can be viewed through the MATE3, however, and can be updated at any time.
1.
Turn on all DC circuit breakers for inverters in the system. Ensure the AC circuit breakers remain OFF.
2.
Verify through the MATE3 that the firmware of all of inverters is the same. If they
are
the same, skip the next step.
3.
If there is a conflict in the firmware then it must be upgraded to the latest firmware. Access the latest revision and
use the MATE3 to update the system to this firmware. The process to perform this task can be found in the Radian
and MATE3 manuals.
4.
If the configuration file was saved, re-install it in the system. The process to perform this task can be found in the
Radian and MATE3 manuals. If the configuration file is not available, it is recommended to run the configuration
wizard to set up the system again,
especially if
the repaired inverter is the MASTER or is a SUB-PHASE
MASTER in a 3-phase system
. If the repaired inverter is not the MASTER or a SUB-PHASE MASTER and there is
no configuration file , then access the programming of the repaired inverter (noting the port of the HUB on which
it is installed), set the “Stack Mode” to the appropriate setting and reprogram the Auxiliary port to the desired
functionality if necessary.
