Re: [RE-wrenches] Outback question
You think it is interesting? I hate problems like this. You are doing the right thing in my opinion. Disconnect the network and try to duplicate. This is a troubleshoot halfsplit to an engineer/technician, or you and me The other choice at this point would be a complete DC disconnect for as long as it takes to get the DC system wide to below 2vdc. Your question on programming? Did someone/something put the CC into float only mode? I had a customer who did weird things and I set-up logging on an SD card and it recorded system changes. He paid me a bit of money for me to prove he was the problem. Nice and cool! Gonna play "highway to hell" and wack the weeds.

[RE-wrenches] Outback question
I’ve got a interesting problem I’ve not seen before. Mate 3 Hub Radian Fm-80 It’s been installed for 5 + years. Recently the caretaker noticed every other day it wasn’t charging. This is confirmed on the CC and logging. It was in float all day. We disconnected it from the hub and it’s charging normally. I’m not aware of any mate 3 settings that would make this happen. Comments?

Re: [RE-wrenches] Outback question
Kris: You need one for the DC inverter breaker(s) at the least. There are no caps to insulate the DC posts. Don’t be so cheap. Your installation quality will be inferior.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Outback question
KristopherEach box has it own set of bussing and breakers, not using a box how would you protect the DC inputs and what would you do with the AC outputs, bypass, that along with the DC wiring.I have installed 8 Radian in one location all with the box under the inverter.JerrySent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Original message From: Kristopher Schmid Date: 3/13/19 10:02 AM (GMT-08:00) To: RE-wrenches Subject: [RE-wrenches] Outback question Has anyone ever done a dual radian installation with only one GSLC?
