Positive Battery Cable Connections

CAUTION:  

Equipment Damage 

When connecting cables 
from the Radian inverter 
to the battery terminals, 
make sure to observe 
the proper polarity. 
Connecting the cables 
incorrectly can damage 
or destroy the equipment 
and void the product 
warranty.

Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to handle 3 times the total weight of all the components.  Add plywood or other 
reinforcing material as necessary to strengthen the surface.

Attach the wall bracket.  Center the mounting holes on the wall studs.  Use all 6 mounting screws to secure the bracket.

Lift the inverter so that the inverter bracket is above the wall bracket.

Lower the inverter so that the inverter bracket slips into the wall bracket. 

If GSLC is not used: 

Secure the inverter to the surface using a minimum of 1 wall screw (or appropriate hardware).  

If GSLC is used

: Unscrew the inverter bottom screws approximately ¼” (0.6 cm) to 3/16" (0.5 cm).

Align the GSLC along the bottom of the inverter.  Slide the bottom screws into the keyhole slots.

Mark the spots for the GSLC mounting feet.  (If necessary, remove the GSLC to install wall anchors.)  Install screws to secure the feet.    

Follow the appropriate instructions for installing other components.  Different mounting locations are available.

The FLEXmax charge 
controller is mounted 
with the FW-CCB bracket.  
The FW-CCB2 allows two 
controllers side by side (using 
the forward holes to allow for 
conduit.)

The Radian has two sets of 
bracket positions.  The GSLC 
has one set.

NOTE:

The FLEXmax 

Extreme charge controller 
attaches directly to the wall, 
not the Radian system.  

It does not use 
OutBack brackets.

The Radian allows two locations 
for the MATE3 mounting bracket 
(FW-MB3).  

The Radian has one 
mounting location for the 
HUB product.  The GSLC 
also has one location.
