MATE – SYSTEM CONTROLLER AND DISPLAY
AC Input Control
The OutBack MATE includes a AC IN “hot” key to allow direct control of the AC input from anywhere in the menu system. The AC IN
key is located on the left side of the MATE’s LCD display. Above the AC IN key is a yellow LED indicator which flashes when an AC
source is available but not connected, and is on continuously when the AC source is connected. If no AC source is available the yellow
LED indicator will remain off. The screens shown on this page apply to the “MATE”, the “MATE B” and the “MATE 2” only.

Pressing the AC IN key once brings up the AC INPUT CONTROL screen. USE enables the
inverter to connect to the AC source when it is available. DROP disconnects the AC source
but will allow it to be reconnected if the battery gets too low or the inverter is overloaded.
Pressing the AC IN key a second time brings up the GEN START CONTROL screen. This
allows operation of the generator either manually or automatically using the Advanced
Generator Start (AGS) functions. The generators starting circuitry must be connected to the
AUX ports of the control terminal block (see pages 11 & 12) to use this screen to manually turn
the generator ON or OFF or to let the FX automatically perform the AGS functions. When the
AGS functions have not been programmed, the screen will show MAN-OFF indicating that the
generator is controlled manually and is OFF. Pressing the ON button will change the screen
into MAN-ON and the generator will turn ON. To put this screen in AUTO mode, you must
access the AGS SETUP menu. See your MATE manual for details.
Pressing the AC IN key a third time brings up the CHARGER CONTROL screen. This allows
operation of the battery charger to be preset for when an AC source is available. In AUTO
mode the charger will start charging when an AC source connects to the FX or when the FX
decides the batteries need charging. In OFF mode the charger stays off but the AC source is
still passed through to the loads.
Pressing the AC IN key a fourth time brings up the CHARGER MODE CONTROL screen. This
screen allows the MATE to issue system wide (global) charger commands. Both OutBack MX
and FX products will respond to global charger commands if they are connected through the
HUB.
Pressing <BULK> brings up the BULK CONTROL screen, it will allow the user to start and/or
stop a bulk charge cycle manually by pressing <START> or <STOP> respectively.
Pressing <EQ> brings up the EQUALIZE CONTROL screen.
When <START> has been selected, two informational screens are displayed. The user then
must answer <YES> before an equalize charging cycle is allowed to begin.
Once the equalizing process has started, you can stop it at anytime by selecting <STOP> from
this same control screen.
