Menu Navigation

Control Wheel

The control wheel is a touch-sensitive navigation control with a center button. It is used to navigate through the

advanced menu structure. It is also used to change set points once selected.

To navigate:

1. Use the control wheel E to scroll forward or backward (up or down) in the menu map. Tracing a clockwise circle scrolls down.

A counterclockwise circle scrolls up. The present selection is highlighted black when scrolling.

2. When the desired menu item is highlighted, press the center button F to move forward into that screen. The screens below

show an example of scrolling through the Settings menu. See the MATE3 Menu Map.

Access to the Main Menu

Programming the system is done in the Main Menu. A password is required to access the Main Menu screen.

This password is 141. It is preprogrammed and cannot be changed.

To access the Main Menu, enter the password as follows:

1. From the home screen G, press the LOCK key C. This brings up the Enter Password screen H. The default entry is 132.

2. Trace a clockwise circle on the control wheel E until the display shows 141 as shown in I.

3. Press the center button F to accept the password.

4. Access to menus can been restricted by an installer or OEM by setting an installer password. The installer password

can be entered from H to allow full access.

5. Press the UP key B to enter the installer password. The default installer password is 1732. This password can be

changed. See page 9.

Set Points

A set point is a condition, measurement, or baseline that a user establishes in order for something else to happen

(such as when to start or stop a generator). The MATE3s allows a user to view, monitor, and establish all the settings

and values that occur while the system is running. Occasionally components may be added or upgraded, electrical

loads increase, or patterns of usage may change. These settings and values can be adjusted to match.

On screens with set points, the control wheel E serves two functions: navigation and set point adjustment.

○ Set points are adjustable settings for each specific menu item.

○ Set points will vary depending on the system configuration.

○ When a screen with set points is available, the present selection is identifiable by a black line around the item. To change

the setting, follow the instructions below.

To change set points:

1. The black line around an item shows it is in Field Select mode. In this mode, the control wheel E can switch between all

selectable elds or items on the screen. A clockwise movement on the control wheel scrolls to the next eld. A

counterclockwise movement (K) scrolls to the previous eld as shown in J.

2. When the desired item is selected, press the center button F. The box around the eld should become solid black as

shown in L. This shows it is in Adjust Set Point mode. The selectable eld becomes an adjustable set point.

3. Use the control wheel E to change the set point value as shown in M.

4. When the set point is correct, press the center button F again to return to Field Select mode.

5. Repeat Steps 1-4 for each set point to be adjusted. The screens below show an example of scrolling through the

System Information menu and selecting a different System Type.

Ports

If a screen shows a port number in the upper right corner, those settings only apply to that particular device.

Other devices can be individually selected by using the PORT key D. Screens with no port designation, such as

those shown on this page, are for system-wide changes.
