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 and FLEXmax 60 Charge Controllers*, and the FLEXnet DC • Coordinates system operation, maximizes performance, and prevents multiple products from conflicting • Permits adjustments of your power system through a series of convenient display screens, which allow switching among different components, viewing the status of each and chan
MATE Specifications • Communication Protocol: proprietary OutBack multi-drop network • Interconnecting Cable: CAT 5 (8 IATIA 518B) PC non-crossover network cable • Maximum Tested Cable Length: 1000 feet (300 meters) of cable in an office/commercial building NOTE: Signal degradation can result if cable is run in conduit with AC wiring or in other electronically “noisy” environments; these can affect the maximum length the cable can run without incurring transmission errors.
With the MATE, a user can know the system’s activity and conditions at any given time. Sometimes, after careful observations, a user might want to change the conditions or set points which cause an action to occur. What is a set point? A set point is a condition, measurement, or baseline a user establishes in order for something else to happen. A home thermostat offers a simple example.
Manual Setup The MATE is a micro-computing device which means it is less powerful and smaller in size than a personal computer. A user will often scroll through a series of MATE screens in order to view the system status or change system conditions. This manual will show all the MATE screens and tell what they do. • Chapters 1-5: setting basic items and display options (when, how, and what you want to view) with the “soft keys,” enabling the user to get around the MATE and change its settings.
To Install the MATE: • • • • • • • Install all other OutBack components first. Run the CAT 5 cable from the source (HUB, FX or Charge Controller) to the MATE’s location. Connect the CAT5 cable to the source but not to the MATE just yet. If connecting a computer to the MATE or MATE2, run a serial cable from the computer to the MATE’s location, but do not connect the cable at this time. Unsnap the MATE’s back plate and find the four screw holes. If a MATE2 version is used, the back cover need not be removed.
1 12 Basic Operation
NOTE: For a viewing of all MATE screens, please see pages 110-124 at the end of this manual. Power Up A soon as the MATE cable is plugged into a powered OutBack product, the MATE itself will power-up and display several information screens.

How To Read a MATE Screen MATE screens will either show values that can be changed or navigate to value screens. The information on the MATE’s screen is segregated by type or task and distinguished by location on the screen and the choice of lowercase or uppercase letters. Occasionally it can be misread by a user. The following example is shown for clarification. Topline:whereyouareinthesystemandwhatHUB Portyou’reviewing.Inthisexample,theSTATUSof thePort1FXMETERSoutputvoltageisdisplayed.
• LOCATION—the top line, STATUS/FX/METER-----P01 (the HUB’s first Port) indicates STATUS then FX then METER have been selected from the MAIN screen. Pressing the or soft keys displays the different METER screens. Pressing the soft key advances the Port number if there are other devices connected to the HUB. If no HUB is present, this will read “P00”. • LABEL—the screen’s left side shows a condition, system feature, or measurable event.
Although the OutBack MATE menu display screens vary depending on the unit’s software version, the menu structures and navigation are the same for all versions. The MATE uses a branching menu structure to display various OutBack products’ operation modes and statuses. The menus are divided by product type and are categorized by either type of settings or the information being displayed as shown in the following example.

4 33 MATE Communications Options
Communications Options Why you want them: The MATE communicates commands to different components. It needs to be aware of any newly added or moved devices so it can recognize them. An error reading doesn’t mean the system is failing, but that the MATE is looking for a component that has been moved from one HUB Port to another or has been disconnected completely. The MATE is trying to account for the system components.

Communication Errors --A COMM ERROR HAS OCCURRED VIEW DEBUG MORE INFO The A COMM (communication) ERROR HAS OCCURRED screen appears when a communication error among the components occurs. Errors and Debugging Communication errors (COMM ERR) that occur with OutBack Power Systems components are often the result of loose, damaged, or unplugged cables.
Advancing errors (the count is increasing on the DEBUG screen) mean the HUB is not finding a device that was previously there. In order, try the following: 1. Check that the device’s DC breaker is on and operating correctly, that the device itself is on, and that the CAT5 cable connecting the device to the HUB is plugged in at both ends. Then re-poll the system (SETUP MATE PG2 COMM REPOLL, see page 34) 2. Check the DEBUG screen to confirm the problem is solved. 3.
5 39 MATE Status Screens
STATUS Screen Overview Why you want them: Status screens give the user a breakdown of individual activities of the FX Series Inverter/Charger(s) and the Charge Controller(s), including AC and DC voltage and AC and FLEX net DC current meters. It is these individual readings that combine to produce the Summary screens noted earlier and allow monitoring of the system operation.

HBX Mode What it does: HBX Mode allows control over the use of grid-supplied power based on userdetermined battery voltage and time set points. A user can maximize renewable energy use and minimize the use of grid-supplied power through careful HBX usage. The OutBack default values* for HBX (24V system) are the following: • High voltage—26 volts • Low voltage—24 volts • Time for both high and low settings—one hour * Double these values for a 48V system; divide them by one half for a 12V system.
HBX Mode: • Stands for high battery transfer • Is used with grid-connected FX Series Inverter/Chargers that have utility power as their AC input • Is a mode primarily used in applications that have enough renewable energy (RE) power production to meet the needs of the loads most of the time • Allows the FX to connect to an AC source if the battery voltage has fallen below a programmable set point for a user configurable amount of time (MATE will then allow the FX to remain connected to the AC source until t
NOTE: HBX Mode will control the Master FX Series Inverter/Charger in Port 1 of a HUB-4 or HUB-10. The Master will then instruct any stacked Slaves to USE or DROP the AC input source (please see appropriate the FX programming manual for stacking instructions). Before starting HBX Mode, set or reset the established values on the four MATE set point modes shown on the following screens: • The first screen, HBX-USE GRID SET POINT appears when the HBX soft key is pressed on the previous ADV/MATE screen.

MAIN------------------1:35:04p SUM STATUS SETUP ADV NOTE: Even with HBX enabled, the user can issue manual DROP or USE commands using the AC INPUT CONTROL found under the ACIN hot key.
Grid-Use Mode Why you might want it: Grid-connected systems make use of utility-supplied power. The MATE’s Grid-Use Mode allows the user to pre-determine the time periods it uses the grid. NOTE: The FX’s default settings are for a generator-supported system. If your system includes a utility’s grid, set the FX to Grid by going to SETUP/FX/INPUT ac transfer control and pressing the soft key. Programming is done in the ADVANCED FX GRID and GEN menus.

APPENDIX Common Tasks The following tasks are common to many OutBack Power Systems customers and are viewable and programmable using the MATE. They are fully explained within this manual. The purpose here is to offer an overview of the tasks and put them in an easily understandable context, especially for new users. NOTE: The MATE acts almost exclusively as a display screen only for the MX60 Charge Controller. The MX60 has its own screen and soft keys for its programming.
How to connect to an electrical grid Go to the GRIDUSE screens in the ADVANCED menu. Using these screens, you can set the times of day you want to use grid AC power and the times you want to stop using it. This allows you connect when your batteries will not adequately supply all your loads or take advantage of lower utility rates at certain times of the day.
When the battery falls below your established voltage set point for a set amount of time, the generator will start and recharge the batteries. For voltage-based start and stops, go to the AGS screens and press VOLT START: • 24 hr, 2hr, and 2 min time periods are available • Choose a time period the battery voltage can fall below your established set point AC load demands can also start the generator.
Troubleshooting MATE does not power-up The OutBack MATE is powered by the OutBack product that it is connected to. Make sure that all OutBack Products are powered-up and operating correctly before connecting the MATE. Check or replace the CAT5 cables running from the MATE to the OutBack product. MATE does not find a Device Make sure that all OutBack Products are powered-up and operating correctly before connecting the MATE. Check or replace the CAT5 cables running from the MATE to the OutBack product.
