Outback Grid Transfer Issue [RE-wrenches]

[Christopher Freitas --- OutBack Power]

Travis - 

We have many systems like yours working fine - so I am sure we can 
figure out what is going on here.  We refer to this mode as "HBX" which 
stands for High Battery Transfer.

For these HBX systems we usually advise setting the battery chargers to 
off like you are doing - it prevents the problem the SW series would 
have were it could end up cycling back and forth to the utility grid and 
not use the RE power source effectively.  

For a system like yours - there is some settings required in the MATE 
which will cause the system to operate as desired in the HBX mode - the 
MATE is actually controlling the inverters and telling them when to drop 
and use the AC source (utility grid). I suspect that the setup in the 
MATE has not be completed.  

Once the HBX mode has been setup - pressing the AC IN key on the mate 
will result in the choices becoming DROP-HBX and USE-HBX.  If the HBX 
are not shown then the HBX mode is not setup.  

There is not much in the inverter manual on HBX mode because its really 
a MATE mode.  The current MATE manual on our website goes into the HBX 
settings in detail (Page 16) - please review this and let me know if you 
are still having any issues.  

Thanks - 

Christopher
