MATE SCREENS
AUXILIARY MENU (CONTINUED)
This page contains to settings for some of the functions that can be chosen in the AUX OUTPUT FUNCTION screen described on the
previous page. The functions that do not have setting perform automatically as described on the previous page. There are voltage and
time period settings for ‘GenAlert’, ‘LoadShed’, ‘VentFan’, and ‘Diversion’.
The following displays allow the adjustment of the particular AUX OUTPUT FUNCTION that was selected on the previous screen in the
AUX menu section, if applicable.

The GENALERT ON SET POINT is the battery voltage at which the FX will start counting down
the ‘GenAlert On Delay’ (see next screen). After the ‘GenAlert On Delay’ time has been reached,
the AUX output is energized and turns the generator on through a 12 vdc relay. This screen is
applicable if the AUX OUTPUT FUNCTION has been set to GENALERT. This setting has a range
between 10.0 vdc and 14.0 vdc in 0.1 vdc increments.
The GENALERT ON DELAY is the amount of time that the battery voltage must remain below the
GENALERT ON SET POINT voltage for the AUX output to become energized. This setting is
provided to allow for short periods of heavy load usage. This screen is applicable if the AUX
OUTPUT FUNCTION has been set to GENALERT. This setting has a range between 0 minutes
and 240 minutes in 1 minute increments.
The GENALERT OFF SET POINT is the battery voltage at which the FX will start counting down
the ‘GenAlert Off Delay’ (see next screen). After the ‘GenAlert Off Delay’ time has been reached,
the AUX output is de-energized and turns the generator off. This screen is applicable if the AUX
OUTPUT FUNCTION has been set to GENALERT. This setting has a range between 12.0 vdc
and 18.0 vdc in 0.1 vdc increments.
The GENALERT OFF DELAY is the amount of time that the battery voltage must remain above
the GENALERT OFF SET POINT voltage for the AUX output to become de-energized. This
setting is provided to allow for smaller battery banks that may attain higher voltages more quickly.
This screen is applicable if the AUX OUTPUT FUNCTION has been set to GENALERT. This
setting has a range between 0 minutes and 240 minutes in 1 minute increments.
The LOADSHED OFF SETPOINT is the battery voltage at which the AUX output is energized to
reduce the load on the FX system. Once the battery voltage has dropped below this setting for 3
seconds the AUX output will provide 12 vdc to power a DC coil relay to disconnect an AC load.
Once the LOADSHED function has been triggered it will remain on for a minimum of 3 minutes.
This screen is applicable if the AUX OUTPUT FUNCTION has been set to LOADSHED. This
setting has a range between 10.0 vdc and 14.0 vdc in 0.1 vdc increments.
The VENTFAN ON SETPOINT is the battery voltage at which the AUX output is energized to vent
a battery enclosure to prevent hydrogen gas from accumulating. When the battery voltage rises to
this setting’s value the AUX output is activated to power a 12 vdc fan. This screen is applicable if
the AUX OUTPUT FUNCTION has been set to VENTFAN. This setting has a range between 10.0
vdc and 16.0 vdc in 0.1 vdc increments.
The VENTFAN OFF PERIOD set point can be used to allow for intermittent operation of the battery
enclosure ventilation system. Setting the time period to 5 minutes will operate the fan at a 50%
duty cycle as the “on” time period is fixed at 5 minutes. Setting the VENTFAN OFF PERIOD to
zero will keep the fan on continuously when the battery voltage exceeds the VENTFAN ON voltage
set point. This screen is applicable if the AUX OUTPUT FUNCTION has been set to VENTFAN.
This setting has a range between 0 minutes and 30 minutes in 1 minute increments.
The DIVERSION ON SETPOINT enables the AUX output to function as a diversion controller.
This can be used to send excess power from a renewable energy source to a load. When the
battery voltage reaches this set point, the auxiliary output will be activated. This screen is
applicable if the AUX OUTPUT FUNCTION has been set to either DIVERT AC or DIVERT DC.
This setting has a range between 12.0 vdc and 16.0 vdc in 0.1 vdc increments.
The DIVERSION OFF DELAY is the amount of time that the AUX output will continue to be
energized after the battery voltage falls below the DIVERSION ON SETPOINT voltage. In cases
where the battery voltage is hovering around the DIVERSION ON SETPOINT voltage, the AUX
output won’t flicker. This screen is applicable if the AUX OUTPUT FUNCTION has been set to
either DIVERT AC or DIVERT DC. This setting has a range between 0 seconds and 240 seconds
in 1 second increments.
Selecting TOP returns the user to the top of the ADV/FX/AUX menu section. Selecting ADV
returns you to the advanced screen to allow selection of another product connected to the MATE.
