MATE - SETUP / INPUT

The other settings currently accessible to the system user in the SETUP menu involve the AC INPUT. The system user can specify what type of AC INPUT is being used, whether it is a generator (GEN) or the utility grid (GRID). Following this are two screens, one for GEN and one for GRID, that allow the user to adjust the maximum AC current that the FX will allow to enter before the FX gives a warning.

The MAIN screen is where the menu system starts. The four words in the bottom line of the display correspond to the four buttons located below the display. The word in BOLD on the bottom line indicates the selection used to advance the display to the next screen. Pressing the left two buttons simultaneously from anywhere in the menu will return you to this screen.

The AC TRANSFER CONTROL screen lets the user select the type of AC input which is connected to the FX. This is used to choose the source of the AC input entering the FX. The two choices are GRID for the utility grid or GEN for a generator. The settings for the AC source are found in the advanced menu under the headings GRID and GEN (see next page).

The AC1/GRID LIMIT is the maximum amount of current that the FX will allow to be drawn by AC loads and battery charger together from the utility grid. When this limit is reached the charger will be “backed off” to keep from overloading the utility grid. This setting has a range between 2.5 aac and 30.0 aac in 0.5 aac increments.

The AC2/GEN LIMIT is the maximum amount of current that the FX will allow to be drawn by AC loads and battery charger together from the generator. When this limit is reached the charger will be “backed off” to keep from overloading the generator. This setting has a range between 2.5 aac and 30.0 aac in 0.5 aac increments.

Selecting TOP returns the user to the top of the SETUP/FX/INPUT menu section. Selecting SETUP returns you to the setup screen to allow selection of another product connected to the MATE. Selecting MAIN returns the display to the MAIN screen.
