Welcome to OutBack Power Technologies
Thank you for purchasing the OutBack Radian Series Inverter/Charger. It is designed to offer a
complete power conversion system between batteries and AC power. As part of an OutBack
Grid/Hybrid™ system, it can provide off-grid power, grid backup power, or grid-interactive service
which sells excess renewable energy back to the utility.
Inverter Functions
 Battery-to-AC inverting which delivers power to run backup loads and other functions
∼ Provides single-phase output
∼ Adjustable range of output voltage
∼ Settable nominal output frequency
 AC-to-battery charging (OutBack systems are battery-based)
∼ Accepts a wide variety of AC sources
∼ Requires single-phase input
 Uses battery energy stored from renewable resources
∼ Can utilize stored energy from many sources (PV arrays, wind turbines, etc.)
∼ OutBack FLEXmax charge controllers will optimize PV power production as part of a Grid/Hybrid system
 Dual AC inputs allow direct connection to utility grid and AC generator
 Rapid transfer between AC source and inverter output with minimal delay time
 Uses MATE3 System Display and Controller (sold separately) for user settings as part of a Grid/Hybrid system
 Stackable in parallel configuration up to ten inverters
 Stackable in three-phase configuration with up to nine inverters (using HUB10.3 Communications Manager)
 Field-upgradeable firmware
 Seven selectable input modes for different applications
∼ Generator
∼ Support
∼ Grid Tied
∼ UPS
∼ Backup
∼ Mini Grid
∼ Grid Zero
IMPORTANT:
The Radian Series Inverter/Charger is not intended for use with the OutBack MATE or
MATE2 System Display and Controller. It is only compatible with the MATE3 System
Display and Controller.
