Outback Power Systems MATE2 - Manual (Page 6)


Introduction
The OutBack Power Systems MATE serves several functions:
• Displays and configures the system and its components—the FX Series Inverter/Charger,
the FLEXmax 80 Charge Controller*, and the FLEXnet DC
• Coordinates system operation, maximizes performance, and prevents multiple products
from conflicting
• Permits exact adjustments of your power system through a series of convenient display
screens, which allow switching among different components, viewing the status of each and
changing settings
* MX60 Charge Controller—remote controls the AUX function and displays, but does not
control, all other functions
When connected to an OutBack HUB communications manager, a single
OutBack MATE can:
• Link to as many as ten FX Series Inverters/Chargers, OutBack Charge Controllers and
additional future OutBack Power System products
• Issue a global Bulk or EQ recharging command which includes the Charge Controller’s
charging function.
This manual will show step-by-step use of the OutBack MATE to best run a power system.
