<DIV></DIV>Actually you aren't the <I>only </I>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?<BR><BR>Matt T<BR><BR>Tump wrote:

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.
