IMPORTANT:
 HBX Mode will control the master inverter in port 1 of a HUB4 or HUB10. The master will
then instruct all slaves to connect or disconnect from the AC input source.
 HBX Mode cannot be used if Grid Use Time is used (see below). These functions have
incompatible priorities and will conflict with each other.
 HBX Mode cannot be used if the Radian inverter’s Mini Grid mode is used (see page 86).
These functions have incompatible priorities and will conflict with each other.

Grid Use Time
The Grid Use Time function allows the system to connect to (use) the utility grid and disconnect from
(drop) it on a timed schedule.
Grid Use Time mode is programmed separately for weekday and weekend
connect times. Only one Grid Use Time may be programmed on a weekend. Three Grid Use Time
periods may be programmed on weekdays.
Before turning the Grid Use Time mode on, set all weekday and weekend time periods.
IMPORTANT:
 Care must be taken when programming weekday and weekend times that encompass USE periods past
midnight (12:00 a.m.). The user must take into account weekday USE periods that will end on a Saturday.
 Grid Use Time cannot be used if HBX mode is used (see page 122). These functions have incompatible
priorities and will conflict with each other.
 Grid Use Time cannot be used if the Radian inverter’s Mini Grid mode is used (see page 86). These
functions have incompatible priorities and will conflict with each other.
 The time and date must be accurately programmed for the Grid Use Time mode to function properly.
 The MATE3 does not automatically adjust its clock for Daylight Savings Time. This may affect timing of
grid usage.
 If a start time equals a stop time, no action will be taken and the time period is ignored.
 If the battery voltage falls below the inverter’s Low Battery Cut-Out voltage, the inverter will automatically
connect to the AC input source regardless of the time-of-day setting.
Set Points:
 Enabled/Disabled
 Grid Connect – xx.x VDC (inverter-dependent)
The low-voltage level that causes the system to reconnect
to the utility grid.
 (Grid Connect) Delay – 0 to 240 minutes
The delay period after reaching Grid Connect before the
system reconnects to the utility grid.
 Grid Disconnect – xx.x VDC (inverter-dependent)
The high-voltage level that causes the system to disconnect
from the utility grid.
 (Grid Disconnect) Delay – 0 to 240 minutes
The delay period after reaching Grid Disconnect before
the system disconnects from the utility grid.
 Grid Connect SOC – 10% to 100%
The low-battery state of charge that causes the system to
reconnect to the utility grid immediately.
 Grid Disconnect SOC – 50% to 100%
The high-battery state of charge that causes the system to
disconnect from the utility grid immediately.
