3.
Align the left edge of the inverter with the left edge of the
mounting plate. This will expose the right edge of the plate,
allowing easy installation of another Radian inverter/charger in
the future. All additional inverters are mounted to the right of
the existing unit.
The unit shown to the right is not aligned with the mounting
plate, as the plate is still visible. In this example, it should slide
to the left so that the plate is entirely covered.
NOTE: If the GSLC is used with the Radian inverter, the
following step should be omitted.
4.
Once aligned, secure the Radian inverter to the stud using a lag
screw (provided) in the left corner of the inverter’s bottom
flange. Securing the inverter this way will prevent it from
dislodging from the mounting plate in the event of an
earthquake or similar event.
NOTE: The left corner is used for securing the inverter to a stud.
If the Radian inverter is mounted on plywood or a similar
wide-area mounting surface as shown, any of the slots in the
mounting flange may be used.
2. Place the Radian inverter against the wall and slide it directly
over the upper lip of the mounting plate. The inverter’s
mounting flange should come to rest within the lip so that it
hangs securely.
To assist in alignment, dimples have been placed on the side of
the unit to mark the lower edge of the flange. In the picture to
the left, the two X symbols show the location of the dimples.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
When the inverter is used with other metal chassis, make sure that all chassis are
grounded appropriately. (See the grounding instructions on page 23.) Grounding other
chassis may involve metal-to-metal contact, or separate ground wires.
