System Display and Controller

MATE

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	MATE
dark operating conditions. Four soft keys allow easy context-based	MATE
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 program-
ming 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	MATE2 and MATE2M
of the system’s operation and performance.	MATE2 and MATE2M

MATE2M

The MATE2M is the same technology as the MATE and MATE2 but is designed to be used with your M-series inverter/chargers in mobile applications. Incorporating a more simpliﬁed menu, the settings needed for mobile power system management are more quickly accessed.

A ﬂush mount case design makes installation in boats and RVs more compact and attractive.

Communication with multiple products requires optional HUB
