NOTE:
See the MATE3 manual for advanced generator start and other setup features
Acceptable modes for Gen input: Gen, Support
(based on application)
Acceptable modes for Grid input: Grid Tied,
Backup, UPS, Mini Grid (based on application)
Grid Tied or Backup required;
Off Grid mode not supported
for this application
IMPORTANT:
Steps through required for proper operation.
Programming should be done by a qualified installer who is trained on programming inverter power systems.
Failure to program 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.

Energize/Startup Procedures
Pre-startup Procedures:
1.
Double-check all wiring connections.
2.
Inspect the enclosure to ensure no tools or debris has been left inside.
3. Disconnect all AC loads at the backup (or critical) load panel.
4.
Disconnect the AC input feed to the GSLC at the source.

To energize the AC-coupled system:
1. Using a digital voltmeter (DVM), verify 48 Vdc
on the DC input terminals by placing the DVM leads
on and .
Confirm that the battery voltage is correct for the
inverter model.
Confirm the polarity.
2. Turn on (close) the DC circuit breakers from the
battery bank to the inverter.
3. Perform all programming (see the next section).
4. If the inverter is in the off state, turn it on.
5. Verify 230 Vac on the AC Output TBB by placing
the DVM leads on and .
6. Turn on (close) the AC output circuit breakers.
7. No voltage should be present on the grid-tied inverter
terminals and . Verify the condition of these terminals
using the DVM.
8. Start the generator (if present). Verify 230 Vac at the location of the AC sources.
9. Turn on the AC input feed to the GSLC at the source.
10. Verify 230 Vac on the GRID IN TBB by placing the DVM leads on and .
11. Verify 230 Vac on the GEN IN TBB by placing the DVM leads on and .
12. Turn on the AC disconnects at the backup (or critical) load panel and test the loads.
13. Turn on (close) the grid AC input circuit breaker.
14. When the rear relay energizes, its LED indicator will illuminate and AC should be present
on the grid-tied inverter terminals and . Verify 230 Vac on these terminals using
the DVM.
15. Check the grid-tied inverter for proper functionality.
Optional steps to test generator and ROCB function:
16. Turn on either the 12V AUX or the RELAY AUX menu item, or the generator circuit breaker
(if present). Turning on any of these three items will energize the front relay .
The LED indicator on the front relay will illuminate. At the same time the ROCB will
automatically turn off (open). No AC should be present on the grid-tied inverter terminals
and . Verify the condition of these terminals with the DVM.
17. Turn off the generator or AUX. The front relay will de-energize. The LED indicator will turn off.
The ROCB will automatically turn on (close). AC should be present on the grid-tied terminals.
Repeat these steps for the other two items from Step 16 if testing is necessary.
