Outback Power Systems MATE2 - Manual (Page 39)


Why you want them: Status screens give the user a breakdown of individual activities of the FX
Series Inverter/Charger(s) and the Charge Controller(s), including AC and DC voltage and AC
current meters. It is these individual readings that combine to produce the Summary screens
noted earlier and allow monitoring of the system operation.
STATUS Screens
Press <STATUS> on the Main menu to access the
STATUS menu. STATUS contains all the meters
and mode displays for OutBack products con-
nected to the MATE.
The STATUS menu is divided first by product and
then into menu categories, such as meter, modes,
and statuses.

NOTE: Other than offering manual on/off control of its AUX relay, the MATE has no control
over the workings of the CC Charge Controller except when the system is undergoing a global
EQ charger mode. At this time, the system uses both the FX and the Charge Controller(s) to
charge the batteries.
