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
Check the firmware revision of all OutBack devices before use. The MATE3 system display must be revision 003.002.xxx or
higher. If the revision is lower, the MATE3 and inverter may not communicate or operate correctly.
