The MAIN screen appears after the MATE detects the HUB (and any devices connected to it) or detects a single device if a HUB is not in use. The MAIN screen is always the same with the excep- tion of the time display. At the bottom of the MAIN screen are the four soft key commands.

SUMMARY shows the direction and amount of power flow in regard to inverting, charging, sell- ing, and/or pass through. It also shows the voltage of the battery.

The STATUS screen is the first step in viewing the status of either the OutBack Charge Control- ler or FX Series Inverter/Charger and any of their meters and conditions.

The SETUP screen leads to additional screens showing some common set points and parameters of either the MATE or an FX Series Inverter/ Charger. These screens allow adjustments to such features as the MATE’s clock and background lighting or whether the power input to the FX is coming from a grid or a generator.

The ADVANCED screen leads to screens for the

<ADV>FX Series Inverter/Charger, the OutBack Charge Controller, and the MATE itself that allow for changing each component’s advanced settings.
