WARNING: Fire/Explosion 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: 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 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.

IMPORTANT:

These instructions are for use by qualified personnel who meet all local and governmental code requirements for licensing

and training for the installation of electrical power systems with AC and DC voltage up to 600 volts. This product is only

serviceable by qualified personnel.

NOTE:

For specifications, functions, applications, stacking, and programming instructions (or if installing with hardware not sold by

OutBack), see the Radian product literature. For menu navigation, see the system display product literature. These

All Radian inverters can deliver their full rated wattage at temperatures up to 25°C (77°F). The Radian

maximum wattage is rated less in higher temperatures. Above 25°C, the GS8048A is derated by a factor of 80

VA for every increase of 1°C. The GS4048A is derated by 40 VA per 1°C. This derating applies to all power

conversion functions (inverting, charging, selling, offsetting, etc.)

Setup and Programming ! Monitoring FLEXnet DC Battery Monitor CAUTION: Equipment Damage The FLEXnet DC (FN-DC) is a battery monitor which measures DC current flow on one or more shunts. It provides battery state-of-charge (SoC) information. These procedures should be done by a qualified installer who is trained on programming inverter power systems. Failure to set accurate parameters for the system could potentially cause equipment damage.
