Radian-Class Inverter Data Stream

Definition of Data Stream Items for the Radian-Class Inverter
Port Number: Indicates the designation of the OutBack HUB port used by the inverter. The addresses will be 01
to 10 and will correspond to the appropriate numbered port. If the MATE3 is connected directly to the inverter
without a HUB, this item will read 00.
Device Type: Indicates the presence of a Radian-class inverter. This device type is always 6.
Inverter Current: Measures the AC current the inverter is delivering to loads from the batteries. The range is 00
to 99 in increments of 1 ampere.
Charger Current: Measures the AC current the inverter is taking from the AC input and delivering to the
batteries. The range is 00 to 99 in increments of 1 ampere.
Buy Current: Measures AC current the inverter is taking from the AC input and delivering to both the batteries
and output loads. The range is 00 to 99 in 1-ampere increments.
Grid Input Voltage: Measures the voltage at the inverter’s AC input terminals labeled GRID. This data is listed
for both the L1 and L2 input lines in separate portions of the data stream. On each line, the range is 000 to 256
in 1-volt increments. If bit 1 of Misc is set, then this number must be multiplied by two. See the definition of
Misc on page 12.
Generator Input Voltage: Measures the voltage at the inverter’s AC input terminals labeled GEN. This data is
listed for both the L1 and L2 input lines in separate portions of the data stream. On each line, the range is 000 to
256 in 1-volt increments. If bit 1 of Misc is set, then this number must be multiplied by two. See the definition of
Misc on page 12.
AC Output Voltage: Measures the voltage at the inverter’s AC output terminals. This data is listed for both the
L1 and L2 inputs in separate data stream sections. The range on each line is 000 to 256 in 1-volt increments.
Sell Current: Measures the AC current the inverter is taking from the batteries and delivering to the AC input.
The range is 00 to 99 in 1-ampere increments.
Inverter Operating Modes: Reports any of a variety of functions that can
be performed by the inverter. The range is 00 to 99, although not all
items are in use. Items and corresponding modes are shown in Table 9.
 Inverter Off: The user has turned the inverting mode off and no other
functions are active.
 Search: The inverter is using the Search function of the inverting mode.
 Inverter On: The inverter is powering loads with the inverting mode.
 Charge: The inverter is using an AC source to charge the batteries.
 Silent: The inverter is using an AC source, but has entered the quiescent
period following a battery charging cycle.
 Float: The inverter is using an AC source and is in the low-level maintenance
stage of a battery charging cycle.
 Equalize: The user has initiated equalization, a controlled overcharge for
battery maintenance.
 Charger Off: The user has manually turned the charging function off.
 Support: The inverter is drawing power from the batteries to support an AC
source which is running heavy loads.
 Sell Enabled: A grid-interactive inverter is exporting more power then it has AC loads. This excess power is flowing out
through the inverter’s AC input. It is measured with the Sell Current meter (characters 24 and 25).
 Pass-through: The inverter is transferring AC power from a source on its input to operate loads on the output. This
mode is the result of a grid-interactive inverter waiting for criteria to be met before it begins selling.
 Inverter Error: The inverter has suffered a critical fault and has probably stopped functioning. Characters 30 to 32 show
the nature of the error. (See Error Codes and Table 10 on page 12.)
 AGS Error: The MATE3 tried to automatically start the generator in Advanced Gen Start mode and failed. This error will
also occur if the generator was successfully started by the MATE3, then stopped unexpectedly.
 Comm Error: The inverter’s control board is no longer communicating. The inverter may require repair.
