S-12. Battery Voltage Min/Max Reset

This screen shows the time and date of the highest and 

lowest battery voltages that have been recorded.  The  

Reset

 key resets these items to the values present at  

that moment.

S-13. Clear Internal Data Log

This screen allows the option to clear the internal history of 

the MATE3s.  The Yes key clears all graph data, Event logs, 

and similar items.

S-14. System Name

This screen allows the installer 

to give the installation a unique 

name and status title.

Name

 — Any combination of

characters up to 30 characters

maximum.  This information is

displayed by the web site

interface (if used).

Status Title

 — (Optional) Any

combination of characters up to 15

characters maximum.  This name

is displayed on the Home screen

.

S-15. Installer

Information

This screen allows a location to 

enter basic installer information.

Company

 — Any combination of

characters up to 28 characters maximum.

Name

 — Any combination of characters

up to 19 characters maximum.

Phone

 — Any combination of characters

up to 15 characters maximum.

Notes

 — Any combination of characters

up to 31 characters maximum.

S-16. Installer Settings

This screen is a menu with options to set user 

access levels and the installer password.

Set User Access Level

 (

A

) — This prevents unauthorized access to certain levels of menus when using the standard password 

141

.

Change Installer Password

 (

B

) — This sets an alternate password which allows access to the full menus.  Often this is used by an

installer if the user’s access has been limited by 

A

.

Challenge Installer Password

 (

C

) — (Optional) Any combination of characters up to 15 characters maximum.  This name is displayed

on the Home screen.

Set User Access Level (

A

)

This menu allows one of four different user access 

levels (UAL) to set points for programming.

Full

 — Access Level 1 (UAL1).  This allows full access to all available menus.

This is the same access permitted by the installer password.  It is the default setting.

Advanced

 — Access Level 2 (UAL2).  This allows access to many user menus.  It also accesses the menus of UAL3 and UAL4.

Basic

 — Access Level 3 (UAL3).  This allows access to the designated basic user menus.  It also accesses the menus of UAL4.

Minimum

 — Access Level 4 (UAL4).  This allows access to only a few designated user menus.  The ability to program is minimal.

Change Installer Password (

B

)

This menu allows changes to the installer password.  In conjunction 

with the UAL settings, this password will restrict full menu access to 

those who know the new password (OEM or installers).

IMPORTANT:  

Changes to system settings should only be made by qualified personnel.

The installer password consists of

four settable numerical digits from

0

 to 

9

.

The default password is 

1732

.

Challenge Installer Password (

C

)

If the installer password is lost or forgotten, this process is used to   

reset access to the device.  The screen will generate a challenge code  

as shown in the image.  Once the installer has the c

hallenge code, it is  

necessary to contact OutBack Technical Support to obtain a temporary 

“challenge password” that corresponds with the MA

TE3s-generated 

challenge code.  After entering a valid challenge password, the MATE3s 

will immediately display the 

Change Installer Password

 screen 

B

.   

The installer should change the password according to preference.   

Make certain to record the new password.  

The challenge password

consists of four settable numerical

digits from 

0

 to 

9

.

IMPORTANT:  

After changing the installer password, cycle the power to the MATE3s.  Unplug the cable, 

wait 5 seconds, then plug it back in.  This will ensure the new installer password is saved.
