Example #1:
Weekday Start - 6:00 p.m. Weekday Stop - 6:00 a.m.
Weekend Start - 12:00 a.m. Weekend Stop - 12:00 a.m.
The weekend USE period has been left at its default (12:00 a.m.). Any time that a Start time equals a
Stop time, no action will be taken and the time period is ignored. The above settings will have the
following results:
 Monday – Friday evenings at 6 p.m., the MATE3 issues a USE command to the inverter allowing the AC input
source to be used.
 Monday – Friday mornings at 6 a.m., a DROP command will be issued.
 On Friday evening at 6 p.m., a USE command is issued but since the Weekend Start and Stop times are equal, the
weekend use time is disabled; no DROP command will be issued until Monday morning at 6 a.m.
