Monitoring
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
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. Damage caused by inaccurate programming is not covered by the
limited warranty for the system.
IMPORTANT
 Ensure all settings are correct for the system. The Profile Wizard can be used for rapid setup. For Grid Support functions it may be
necessary to load a .GIP file. This requires the MATE3s System Display.
 Verify the firmware revision of all OutBack devices before use. The Radian inverter and system display may not communicate or
operate correctly unless their firmware is above a specified revision number.
For full functionality, the MATE3s must be the system display used when installing Radian inverters with firmware revision
001.006.061 or higher.
 For firmware and .GIP file installation, see the Installation Manual. For settings and functions, see the Operator’s Manual.

In a MATE3-class system display, the Profile Wizard allows quick setup of parameters that apply to all systems. The Profile Wizard is
reached from the Main Menu as shown in .
The Profile Wizard is useful for rapid setup of multiple parameters including date, time, battery charging, AC source size and limits, and
System Type. It can also configure functions such as High Battery Transfer and Grid Use times. Note that the last two items are not
available if the System Type is set to Off Grid.
NOTE: The Wizard does not configure the entire system. It does not select AC input modes for the FXR inverter, parameters for
automatic generators, or “fully charged” parameters if the FLEXnet DC battery monitor is in use. If settings are made in the wrong order,
the Wizard can overwrite some customized settings. See the system display literature for more information.

The firmware revision of all devices can be confirmed by navigating from the Main Menu as shown in . Upgrades to the firmware
revision can be downloaded from the OutBack website www.outbackpower.com.
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.
Exact measurements and programming are performed with the system display.
(See the system display and FLEXnet DC literature.) The LED indicators
shown below provide approximate measurements of the battery state of charge.

> 90% (blinks if charge parameters are met)
After commissioning and programming the FXR system, perform a full battery charge.
Reset the FN-DC by unplugging the communications cable and then plugging it back
in. (The system must be energized at the time.) The FN-DC will reset to 100% SoC
to match the batteries.
NOTE: The FN-DC must be programmed with correct values for battery capacity and
charging requirements. The factory default values may not be correct. If not
programmed accurately, the FN-DC readings and LED indicators will not be accurate.
The same is true if the shunt(s) are not wired correctly.
