Besides all the good info from Mac, there may be something to gain from
following OB's sequence procedure for a proper complete system (all
devices) shutdown and reboot.

Don’t know about Radian but I had this issue with a dual stack VFXR
system. After five visits to site (3 hours drive one way) Tech
support eventually told me there had been a bad batch of comms boards
on FXR’s but I had already swapped inverters out for VFX’s at last
visit and issue ceased. Definitely some sort of comms glitch causing
the Mate3 to loose info on devices.
Best of luck from down under.

William,
We have experienced this same issue on various Outback systems, mainly
on multi-stack fxr systems. I can't say I know or understand why this
happens. To me, it makes sense that it's a communication error of some
kind. What I've done with success:
1. Update all firmware, Mate, devices etc.
2. If a certain device (s) seems to have an issue, replace cables.
3. Apply terminal grease to all devices connections and Hub connections.
So far, this approach has worked, but will eat a lot of man hours.
Good luck, and please let us know if you find anything deeper out
about this.

Friends:
As part of my ongoing love/hate relationship with Outback, I have
been occasionally receiving “Inverter firmware mismatch” warnings
on some Radian systems. The firmware has not been changed.
I was told it was bad data cables. I replaced all cables on one
system only to receive more of the same warnings. Then, suddenly
the error warnings quit.
Now today another system is experiencing the same warnings.
Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
William
