The MATE system display and controllers are complete management
tools for your OutBack Power system. Through 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.
The MATE and MATE2 are packed full of features to make system
management simple. The 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
programming of inverter and charger operation. This permits you to set
the system to work with time-of-day power rates or to limit a
generator's run time to a specific 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.
The MATE and MATE2 include a RS232 port with DB9 jack for connection to
the serial port of a PC computer. Through the use of optional WinVerter
software you can perform such operations as data logging and graphical
display of the system's operation and performance. The MATE system
display and controller is surface mounted while the MATE2 is flush
mountable in a wall cut-out.
