Introduction
10 900-0198-01-00 Rev A
The MATE2 is a system display designed for use with mobile FX inverters. It is intended to be
flush-mounted in a panel. Along with programmed criteria for accepting shore or generator AC sources,
it has the Advanced Generator Start function which sets many parameters for generator control.
The MATE3 is an advanced system display. In addition to the functions of the MATE2, it has improved
accessibility to screens and readings. The programming items and settings have multiple
password-protected access levels for increased security. It is intended to be surface-mounted.
NOTE:
Most references to screens, navigation, and menu items in this book are to the MATE3.
However, the tables of factory defaults and ranges at the back of the book are shown in
MATE or MATE2 format. These begin with Table 17 on page 48.
The MATE3’s Configuration Wizard is capable of automatically configuring inverters to a series of preset
values. This is often more efficient than attempting to manually program each setting in each inverter.
Affected fields include system type, battery charging, and AC source configuration.
Once settings are modified using any system display, it can be removed from the installation. The settings
are stored in the nonvolatile memory of the FX inverter. However, it is highly recommended to install it as
part of the system. This provides the means to monitor system performance and respond quickly should it
be necessary to correct a fault or shutdown condition.
The AXS Port can perform similar functions using a computer interface.
IMPORTANT:
Some functions are not based in the inverter, but are part of the system display.
They will not function if the system display is removed. These functions are listed
beginning on page 34.
IMPORTANT:
The FX inverter can use the OPTICS RE online tool as a system display. OPTICS RE must
be used in conjunction with the MATE3 or with the AXS Port SunSpec Modbus Interface.
The MATE3 system display must have firmware revision 003.000.xxx or higher.
On/Off Switch
If a system display is not in use, the inverter can be equipped with a switch to turn it on and off. This
switch is not sold as an inverter accessory; a common toggle switch can be used. The switch is wired to
the
INVERTER ON/OFF
auxiliary terminals. (See the FX Mobile Series Inverter/Charger Installation Manual
for more information on wiring the switch.)
This switch turns only the inverter on and off. It does not turn the charger or any other function on or off.
All inverter functions will operate according to their programmed settings. Functions included with a
system display will not be available.
