allows current to flow from the batteries to a dedicated DC load. (This is illustrated in the Radian
Series Inverter/Charger Installation Manual.) The resistor or load must be sized to dissipate all of
the energy from the renewable source if necessary. Diversion will turn off following a delay when
a low DC voltage setting is reached.
Settable parameters include:
Low and high DC voltage
On and off delay
GT Limits activates the A
Protection parameters for the grid-interactive function (see page 14). It can activate a light or alarm
to show that the grid-interactive function has shut down and that there may be problems with the grid.
The AUX output will cycle on and off if grid parameters are met and the reconnection timer is
counting down.
This function does not have settable parameters other than those of the Grid Interface
Protection menu (see Table 17 beginning on page 63).
Source Status activates the A
a light or alarm to show that the utility grid is present or that a generator has started. Alternately, it
could be used to show that the source has disconnected.
This function does not have settable parameters.
AC Divert activates the A
usually an AC device powered by the inverter itself. This prevents overcharging of the batteries. This
function can serve as rough charge regulation for an external charging source.
When battery voltage rises above a settable high voltage level, the A

charging. The AC device is usually wired to the output or load panel and must be left on. It must
be sized to dissipate all of the energy from the renewable source if necessary. Diversion will turn
off following a delay when a low DC voltage setting is reached.
The A output will automatically turn on to run the loads if the inverter accepts an AC source.

During variable conditions, the A

AC Divert should not be used as the sole source of battery regulation. If the inverter shuts down
or fails, the batteries could suffer severe damage. This function should be supported by an
external regulator.
If the inverter shuts down due to overload, the A
load exceeds 30 Aac, the A
If either the FETs or the capacitors (see page 52) become too hot, the AUX will turn off due to
diminished inverter wattage capacity.
Note that even if every function in the menu is set to Off, external programming from other
devices may still activate the A
The A functions are summarized in Table 4.
