Same page with you Jay, as usual... Does the battery system go to absorb with solar still even if it is cloudy? Maybe a bad battery? Tis the season! Can the user go thru the set-points and make sure nothing has changed? Gen sets can do weird surges that can corrupt settings. If he has to leave

You said both, it will go into absorb for an hour only and it will net go into absorb. Which one please? Is there an AGS? Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "we go where powerlines don't" http://members.sti.net/offgridsolar/ e-mail offgridso...@sti.net text 209 813 0060 On Fri, 08 Jan 2021 13:33:56 -0

[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 ge

Re: [RE-wrenches] Radian inverter high pitch whisteling

Another simple test is to start the generator when this happens. Does it continue with the generator, then it’s a load somewhere. If not then more digging. I’ve not had this issue before but with the radian you can turn off one or the other power modules which can narrow that down. I have h

Re: [RE-wrenches] Radian inverter high pitch whisteling

I would next continue with your direction by shutting down loads while you can here the noise. What type of lighting do you have, I have ran Outbacks f

O-Wise ones; I have a Radian 8KW off-grid system. I am getting intermittent (one day it is there & then the next it is not) very high pitched & faint but continually rising pitch whistling & white noise on the stereo, the boom box, basically anything with a speaker. First suspect was: Pen

[RE-wrenches] Radian Buzzing

Hello Wrenches, What does it mean when a Radian spontaneously emits a fairly loud buzz for the better part of a minute and then stops? The loads were small, just a few amps. This is an off grid system with no AC input. The generator is not connected. There are microinverters, AC coupled to t

Re: [RE-wrenches] Radian Question

You can select which power module is used with the Mate under the inverter settings. Left, right or auto. This way you won’t have to physically swap the modules to determine if one has failed. > Sent from a IPhone, with touch screen keys on the fly. Please excuse > shortcuts and typos. > Rol

Hello Wrenches, Are the power modules in a Radian the same?  Are the left and right ones interchangeable?  What designates the master as such? Is it the ribbon cable connection to the control stack? Thank you, Drake ___ List sponsored by Redwood All

Re: [RE-wrenches] Radian AC inputs

To add to this point,  a customer inadvertently wired a 100 amp 240 vac Tesla charger circuit into an Outback backup system.  We later had to rebuild the inverters because they had cooked the 60 amp rated transfer relays.  The 50 amp breakers had tripped occasionally, but apparently not enough
