The only thing I would add to William's list of things to do to solve
this issue is that there is a proper sequence in shutting down and
rebooting the inverter, found in Outback docs. There is also firmware
for the HUB but not sure if that would help or is necessary in this
situation.

I would suggest the following course of action:
1.Reboot Mate
2.Reboot inverter
3.Reset all equipment to factory defaults and manually reprogram each item
4.Update Mate Firmware
5.Update Inverter Firmware.
We have solved mystery Radian problems with a firmware update.
Good luck!

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Radian Charges 1 hour per calendar day
Hello Wrenches,
An off grid, Radian / Mate 3 system we set up some years back has worked
flawlessly. The client is now reporting that his system will only go
into absorption charge for 1 hour per calendar day. The setting was
previously to absorb for 2 hours.
He has tried shutting off the generator and then restarting. The
inverter will connect, but not go into absorb.
During this cloudy period, he is only able to get the batteries to about
80 percent before he needs to leave the site for a week or so.
I finally go through to Outback, and they think it is a Firmware
problem. As it is a long drive out, it seems worth while to run it by
the list. Does FW this seem like the issue?
Thank you,
Drake
