WARNING: Fire/Explosion Hazard

Do not place combustible or flammable materials within 3.7 m (12 feet) 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 90-cm

(36") 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.

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

Check the firmware revision of all OutBack devices before use. The Radian inverter and MATE3 system display may not

communicate or operate correctly unless their firmware is above a specified revision number.

For model GS7048E, the firmware must be revision 001.005.xxx or higher with a MATE3 revision of 002.010.xxx or higher.

For model GS3548E, the firmware must be revision 001.005.xxx or higher with a MATE3 revision of 002.017.xxx or higher.

The MATE3 Configuration

Wizard allows quick setup of

parameters that apply to all

systems. The Configuration

Wizard is reached from the

MATE3 Main Menu as shown

to the right.

The firmware revision of all

devices can be confirmed by

navigating from the MATE3

Main Menu as shown below.

Upgrades to the firmware

revision can be downloaded

from the OutBack website

www.outbackpower.com.
