MATE3 System Display and Controller
The Radian inverter/charger has no external controls. It can operate normally without an external
control or interface. Basic modes and settings are pre-programmed at the factory. (See page 47 for
default settings.) The Radian inverter has no display or LED indicators. It is not possible to monitor its
status or operating mode without a metering device.
The MATE3 System Display and Controller (sold separately) is an OutBack product designed to
accommodate programming and monitoring of an OutBack power system. The MATE3 provides the
means to adjust the factory default settings to correctly match the installation where needed. It also
provides the means to monitor system performance and troubleshoot fault or shutdown conditions.
Once settings are modified using a MATE3, the MATE3 can be removed from the installation. The
settings are stored in the non-volatile memory of the Radian. However, it is highly recommended to
include a MATE3 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 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. (For
more information, see the MATE3 Owner’s Manual).
NOTE:
The Radian Series Inverter/Charger can only be used with MATE3 firmware revision
002.005.xxx or higher.
IMPORTANT:
Some functions are not based in the inverter, but are part of the MATE3
system display’s firmware. They will not function if the system display is
removed. These functions are listed beginning on page 32. For a detailed
description of functions and programming, please see the MATE3 Owner’s
Manual.
