Installation
900-0160-01-01 Rev B 19
Tools Required
The following tools may be required for this installation:

Wrench and socket sets; should include
~ torque and ratchet wrenches
~ reversible (stubby) wrenches for narrow access
~ offset box wrench, ½” or 13 mm

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.
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/charger comes equipped with a mounting plate, as shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8 Installing the Mounting Plate
Mount the Radian inverter using
these steps.
1. The mounting plate is to be
screwed or bolted directly to a
solid mounting surface such as
wall studs. Lag screws are
provided for this purpose.
~ The plate is designed to mount
on wall studs with a spacing of
16” (40.6 cm). If the studs have
a different spacing, plywood or
similar material should be installed
over the studs. This material
should be ½” size or thicker. The
mounting plate can be installed on
the plywood surface.
~ 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.
