This section of the manual will cover how to use the buttons on the MATE to navigate the menus.  
 

NOTE: The menu system displayed on the MATE will vary depending on the software version that the MATE was 

programmed with at the time of manufacturing or during its last software upgrade.

  

 

 
 

 

MENU STRUCTURE 
 

The OutBack MATE uses a branching menu structure to display various 
OutBack products operation modes and status. The menus are divided by 
product type and are categorized by type of setting or by information being 
displayed.  
 
An example of the menu structure is shown to the right. All the screens that 
show AC meters are grouped together in one menu tree allowing the user to 
find the required meter with a minimum of button presses.  
 
The top line of the MATE display will show the ‘path’ to the current menu; in 
this example it is STATUS/FX/METERS. 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

The MATE uses a six button user interface to navigate the menus and to change set points of various OutBack products.  

 
Two buttons are dedicated to the FX and are labeled AC IN and INV. These buttons are special in that they can be pressed at any time 
anywhere in the MATE menu structure, and they take you to the same screens. For this reason they are referred to as ‘hot’ keys. Many 
common functions that need to be accessed often are found under the AC IN and INV button. 
 
The four lower buttons under the LCD are called ‘soft’ keys and are used for navigating around the menus and changing values. Each 
‘soft’ key has various functions dependent on the label directly above it on the lower line of the LCD.  

 
The top line on the MATE usually displays the path or location of where you are in the menu system.  The 2

nd

 and 3

rd

 lines of the MATE 

usually give you a description of what meter is being displayed or what parameter is currently set in the MATE.  The bottom line on the 
MATE is almost exclusively used for labels to the four soft keys below.  Each button below the bottom line of the MATE’s display 
corresponds to the word directly above it.   
 
This manual will denote soft key button presses as <BUTTON>, where BUTTON corresponds with the label displayed on the screen 
directly above the soft key.
