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

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.

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
