<p>Chris: Thanks! <br>
</p>
<p>Were all of the components in the cabinet factory mounted and
inter-connected, or was it field assembled? <br>
</p>
<p>How much does the finished product weigh?</p>
<p> Do you have any Sonnen and/or Outback URL(s) that provide
installation documentation and a high level single line electrical
block diagram of what's inside the box?</p>
<p>Thanks! Gary<br>

<div>It's a Radian, the batteries are Sony, there's a PLC in the
door controlling everything, and a Vera Z-Wave controller for
the programmable outlets.</div>
<div>The BMS is on the door, connected by the long cable you see
at the bottom. It's not really long enough, which I complained
about.</div>
<div>The transfer switch is a Generac component, very reliable
unit, rated at 200A.</div>
<div>There is a DIN rail next to the inverter that holds all the
internal wiring, metering, external connections.</div>
<div>One thing I would advocate, never try to make any
connections with this unit powered up. It is very tight in
there and the risk of touching a live terminal is high.</div>
<div>There is a 200A main breaker and a battery breaker, which
is software controlled for powering down from the front panel.
Startup requires holding in a DC breaker for the electronics
for a few seconds then engaging the main battery breaker. The
instructions says five seconds but I find it takes about 15.</div>

<p>Can plainly see the 8kW Outback Radian inverter and I

<div>Nice finish on the Sonnen install. It
looks fabulous. My understanding is the Eco
2-8 integrate the 4kW radian, and the 10-16
incorporates the 8kW radian. I assume
generator support is fully supported</div>

<div dir="ltr">I promised a picture of
the Sonnen installation. As these
units are getting close to being
appliances in the same vein as home
audio, we wanted to have a clean
finish so we made some mill work to
complete the top of the unit to the
ceiling and hide the ugly conduits.
