MATE SCREENS
INPUT MENU
The other settings currently accessible to the system user in the SETUP menu involve the AC INPUT. The system user can specify
what type of AC INPUT is being used, whether it is a generator (GEN) or the utility grid (GRID). Following this are two screens, one for
GEN and one for GRID, that allow the user to adjust the maximum AC current that the FX will allow to enter before the FX backs off the
charger. If the charger has backed off all the way and the loads require more current than the AC1/Grid or AC2/Gen limits are set to,
the FX will produce a warning.

TOP SETUP MAIN
The MAIN screen is where the menu system starts. The four words in the bottom line of the
display correspond to the four buttons located below the display. The word in
BOLD on the
bottom line indicates the selection used to advance the display to the next screen. Pressing the
left two buttons simultaneously from anywhere in the menu will return you to this screen.

MATE MATE system display and user interface
The categories are then displayed for the settings which can be adjusted in the setup menu.
SRCH Allows adjustment of the settings for the Search mode.
<INPUT> Allows selection of the AC INPUT and current limit adjustment.
MAIN Returns the display to the MAIN screen.
The
AC TRANSFER CONTROL screen lets the user select the type of AC input which is
connected to the FX. This is used to choose the source of the AC input entering the FX. The
two choices are GRID for the utility grid or GEN for a generator. The settings for the AC source
are found in the advanced menu under the headings GRID and GEN (see next page).
The
AC1/GRID LIMIT is the maximum amount of current that the FX will allow to be drawn by
AC loads and battery charger together from the utility grid. When this limit is reached the
charger will be “backed off” to keep from overloading the utility grid. This setting has a range
between 5.0 aac and 60.0 aac in 1.0 aac increments.
The
AC2/GEN LIMIT is the maximum amount of current that the FX will allow to be drawn by
AC loads and battery charger together from the generator. When this limit is reached the
charger will be “backed off” to keep from overloading the generator. This setting has a range
between 5.0 aac and 60.0 aac in 1.0 aac increments.
Selecting TOP returns the user to the top of the SETUP/FX/INPUT menu section. Selecting
SETUP returns you to the setup screen to allow selection of another product connected to the
MATE. Selecting MAIN returns the display to the MAIN screen.
