MATE
Th e MATE system display and controllers are complete management
tools for your OutBack Power system. Th rough the use of a single
MATE you can remotely manage and monitor multiple inverter/
chargers, MX60s and any future OutBack power conversion and
control products.
Th e MATE and MATE2 are packed full of features to make system
management simple. Th e easy-to-read 3.1" (8 cm) LCD is backlit for
dark operating conditions. Four soft keys allow easy context-based
navigation of menus and functions. Two hot keys give immediate
access to AC and inverter functions.
A built-in clock and calendar function enables timer based program-
ming of inverter and charger operation. Th is permits you to set the
system to work with time-of-day power rates or to limit a generator’s
run time to a specifi c time period of the day or week. All of your settings
are stored in permanent memory to eliminate the need to reprogram in
the event of a system shutdown or battery replacement. Th e MATE and
MATE2 include a RS232 port with DB9 jack for connection to the serial
port of a PC computer. Th rough the use of optional WinVerter soft ware
you can perform such operations as data logging and graphical display
of the system’s operation and performance.
MATE2M
Th e MATE2M is the same
technology as the MATE
and MATE2 but is designed
to be used with your
M-series inverter/chargers
in mobile applications.
Incorporating a more
simplifi ed menu, the settings
needed for mobile power
system management are
more quickly accessed.
A fl ush mount case design
makes installation in boats
and RVs more compact
and attractive.
