Matt:
I have had the same experience with 2 Mates going bad on the Gen start. I
just replaced them with new ones and sent the little buggers back to OutBack
for a transfusion.
We have been slowly transitioning away from OutBack products in general for
most applications, except for the situations where they are the only
"perfect fit."

Actually you aren't the only two! I have had very similar problems with at
least three OB systems in the last year or so. In every case, everything
seemed to work perfectly when I was there, but within 2 or 3 days there
would be a call saying that the generator wasn't coming on (always in the
middle of the night). One owner would start pushing buttons willy-nilly, so
it all had to be reprogrammed every visit. This problem has cuased a lot of
irritation and at least one lawsuit involving a dealer - who now won't
attempt ANY off-grid work at all. Surely this is just a software problem
that could be rectified without majorly re-work of the Mate?

Hey Jay, guess what I did yesterday in a Fu**(&& Blizzard! Yup that's right
went to "fix" the gen no start feature on the OB.
I reset the settings in the mate repoled it last week for the same issue, up
in hopes that it might turn on the gen BEFORE shutting down.NO error lights
gen will start NO problem in Man on or at the shed.
HELLO OUTBACK YOU OUT THERE??????
Would someone at OUTBACK let Chris out of the dog house, so he can respond &
we can hear how Jay & I are the only folks that seem to be having these
issues with the OB product line.

Hi Tump,
So just got a call from a customer.
Mate not auto starting the generator.
Mate set to auto.
Will start manually.
Time and date are perfect.
Volts got to 1.5v under 2 minute start and no start.
Getting frustrating.
