Installation
900-0144-01-01 Rev B 13
Tools Required
The following tools may be required for this installation:

Wrench and socket sets; should include torque and ratchet
wrenches; also reversible (stubby) wrenches for narrow access

Wire cutters/strippers
Mounting

Two or more people may be needed to install the Radian inverter/charger due to its weight.

Mount and secure each component before attaching any wiring. Local or national wiring codes may require
the bottom of the inverter to be enclosed. The GS Load Center was specifically designed for this purpose.

Avoid large air gaps behind the Radian inverter/charger and its mounting plate. These can result in louder
mechanical noise during heavy inverting or charging. Mount the plate on a flat, solid mounting surface.
The Radian inverter/charger comes equipped with a mounting plate, as shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8 Installing the Mounting Plate
IMPORTANT:
Use correct fasteners to secure the mounting plate and the Radian inverter/charger to the
mounting surface. OutBack cannot be responsible for damage to the product if it is attached
with inadequate fasteners.
The Radian inverter is mounted using
these steps.
1. The mounting plate is to be screwed or
bolted directly to a solid mounting surface
such as wall studs. (See Figure 8.) Lag
screws are provided for this purpose.
~ The plate is designed to mount on wall
studs with a spacing of 40.6 cm (16").
If the structure or mounting surface is
constructed differently, then ensure
the mounting surface is reinforced for
the appropriate amount of weight.
~ If multiple Radian inverter/chargers are
being installed, all mounting plates
should be installed first. The inverters
can be mounted and secured one at a
time when this is done.
