Outback Power Systems MATE2M System Controller and Display Installation and User Manual - Manual (Page 4)

1.0 Introduction
The OutBack MATE2M is a complete system controller and display for the OutBack FX inverter/charger. It provides a display
of the operation as well as allows for control and adjustment of the product setpoints. The OutBack MATE2M also coordinates
the operation of the entire inverter / charger system to maximize the performance and to prevent multiple products from
conflicting.
Through the use of an OutBack HUB communication manager a single OutBack MATE2M is able to connect to multiple FX
inverter/chargers and other OutBack products. A maximum of ten OutBack products will be able to be connected to a single
MATE2M via a HUB using CAT 5 type Ethernet cabling with 8 wire RJ45 modular connectors.
