Profile Wizard
In the MATE3s system display, the
Profile Wizard
allows quick setup of parameters that apply to all systems. The
Profile Wizard
is
reached from the
Main Menu
as shown in
B
.
The Profile Wizard is useful for rapid setup of multiple parameters including date, time, battery charging, AC source size and limits, and
System Type. It can also configure functions such as High Battery Transfer and Grid Use times. Note that these two functions are not
available if the System Type is set to
Off Grid
.
NOTE
: The Wizard does not configure the entire system. It does not select AC input modes for the FXR inverter, parameters for
automatic generators, or “fully charged” parameters if the FLEXnet DC battery monitor is in use. If settings are made in the wrong order,
the Wizard can overwrite some customized settings. See MATE3s
Programming Guide
for more information.
The firmware revision of all devices can be confirmed by navigating from the
Main Menu
as shown in
A
. Upgrades to the firmware
revision can be downloaded from the OutBack Power website.

The FLEXnet DC (FN-DC) is a battery monitor which
measures DC current flow on one or more shunts.
It provides battery state-of-charge (SoC) information.
Exact measurements and programming are performed with
the system display. (See the system display and FLEXnet
DC literature.) The LED indicators shown below provide
approximate measurements of the battery state of charge.
FLEXnet DC Battery Monitor
o
A green indicator (
F
ULL
) means the batteries have an adequate charge. It does
not always mean they are full.
o
A yellow indicator (
OK
) means the batteries are somewhat discharged.
o
A red indicator (
L
OW
) means the batteries are greatly discharged and may require
attention. A low battery error may be accompanied by a red
S
TATUS
indicator.
The
S
TATUS
indicators show the inverter’s operating condition as shown below.

Battery State of Charge
FN-DC LED Indicators
> 90% (blinks if charge parameters are met)
After commissioning and programming the FXR system, perform a full battery charge.
Reset the FN-DC by unplugging the communications cable and then plugging it back
in. (The system must be energized at the time.) The FN-DC will reset to 100% SoC,
matching the batteries if they have been charged.
NOTE
: The user must program the FN-DC with correct values for battery capacity
and charging requirements. The factory default values may not be correct. If not
programmed accurately, the FN-DC readings and LED indicators will not be accurate.
The same is true if the shunt(s) are not wired correctly. See the
FLEXnet DC
Overview Guide
for more information.
LED Indicators
The inverter has two sets of LED indicators. (See Sheet 2 for locations.)
The
B
ATTERY
indicators show the approximate battery state.
NOTE
: Due to different system states, battery voltage does not always indicate an
accurate state of charge. The FN-DC is more accurate.
See the inverter
Operator’s Manual
for full descriptions of these LED indicators.

CAUTION: Equipment Damage
These procedures should be done by a qualified installer who is trained on programming inverter power systems. Failure to set accurate
parameters for the system could potentially cause equipment damage. Damage caused by inaccurate programming is not covered by the
limited warranty for the system.
IMPORTANT
Ensure all settings are correct for the system. The Profile Wizard can be used for rapid setup. For Grid Support functions it may be
necessary to load a .GIP file. This document assumes the use of the MATE3s System Display.
Verify the firmware revision of all OutBack Power devices before use. The FXR inverter and system display may not communicate or
operate correctly unless their firmware is above a specified revision number. Radian inverters with firmware revision 001.006.061 or
higher must use the MATE3s system display.
For firmware and .GIP file installation, see the
Installation Manual
. For settings and functions, see the
Operator’s Manual
.
