Remote Monitor & Control
MATE
As a complete management tool for OutBack Power systems, the
MATE Remote Monitor & Controller
is packed full of features to make system management simple. It provides a display of the operation as well as allows control and adjustment of the setpoints. The OutBack Mate also coordinates the operation of the entire system to maximize performance and to prevent multiple products from conflicting.
A single MATE can remotely manage and monitor multiple inverter/chargers, charge controllers and monitoring devices. The easy-to-read 3.1" (8 cm) LCD is backlit for 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 programming of inverter and charger operation, allowing the system to operate with time-of-day power rates or limit a generator's run time to a specific time period of the day or week. All settings are stored in permanent memory to eliminate the need to reprogram in the event of a system shutdown or battery replacement.
The MATE includes a RS232 port with DB9 jack for connection to the serial port of a PC computer. The MATE system display and controller is surface-mounted.
Features
A single MATE is able to connect up to ten OutBack products via CAT 5 / ethernet type cabling with 8 wire RJ45 modular connectors and the OutBack HUB-4 Communication Manager or HUB-10 Communication Manager.
4 line backlit LCD display with 80 alphanumeric characters. This allows multiple measurements to be displayed at the same time and reduces the amount of abbreviations required, simplifying the operation and reducing confusion. All of the programmed setpoints are stored in permanent memory to eliminate the need to reprogram the system after a shutdown or battery replacement.
Includes a built in real time clock and calendar which allows programming of the inverter operation based on the time of day and even day of the week. This can be used to allow 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.

Everyone’s Solar Profile.
I recently sold my successful solar company that I created around 1992 in the state of Maine.  My solar experience is in site surveys, design, installations, and maintenance of 500 plus clients, specializing in off grid homes, and owning my own off grid home.
Solar is part of my life and the bonus of meeting so many different client’s needs, remains my quest to see more people enjoy their home with solar.
I have taken advantage of my suppliers for the last 25 years to give you the best price I possibly can.  If you don’t find what you need on my site, please tell me what you need, and I will do my best to get it for you.
If you are new to solar and need help, feel free to reach out to me.  I will be more than happy to design a system for your needs.
I normally ship within two days of receiving payment, however if your item is not readily available I will inform you immediately and make the necessary required changes.
Sincerely
John Myatt
