.GIP File Installation for Grid Support

To enable Grid support functionality in different parts of the world, it may be necessary to update

the inverter firmware. The .ZIP files for update can be downloaded from the

Radian Grid Support

section of the

Firmware Update

page at

www.outbackpower.com

. Each .GIP file available

with an update contains a “package” of grid support settings associated with different utility

companies or regional standards.

IMPORTANT:

 The MATE3s system display is required for this process.

 Make certain to extract (unzip) all the files before loading all of the contents onto the

MATE3s. If the files are loaded to the card in compressed form, they will be unusable.

 These contents contain a Readme text file which is necessary to the instructions below.

To install Grid Support .GIP Files:

1. Perform a firmware update as noted above.

NOTES:



The MATE3s should be revision 1.001.000 or higher for grid support functionality.



For grid-interactive parameters, the Installer Password is required and may need to be changed from

the default setting of

1732

. See the MATE3s Programming Guide for more information.

2. From the MATE3s Main Menu (A in Figure 35), choose Firmware Update (B) and then GS

Inverter (C). The display will show that new firmware is present. (The revision should be

001.006.063 or higher.) Press Update (D) to download this firmware into the Radian inverter.

This can take up to ten minutes per inverter. In certain systems it may take up to 20 minutes.
