Subject: [RE-wrenches] OutBack Power MATE3 to MATE3S Upgrade<br>

Greetings All,<br>
<br>
I'm preparing to replace an existing OutBack Power MATE3 System<br>
Display/Controller with the new MATE3S. The system is a grid tied 5<br>
stack of Radian GS8048A Inverter/Chargers. I am interested to know if<br>
any of you may have done this and if you encountered any issues or<br>
have any insights to pass along. This system does have a generator<br>
and uses the Advanced Generator Start (AGS) function to control<br>
generator start/stop and battery charging while the generator is<br>
running. I believe this is the only Display/Controller based function<br>
the system is using, so it will likely need to be programed and setup<br>
in the new MATE3S. I am hopeful that all other programing is stored<br>
in the Radians and will not need to be reprogramed/entered to the new<br>
MATE3S. The system is connected to OpticsRE (OutBack Power's system<br>
monitoring website/service). I assume we may need to do some<br>
programing from the new MATE3S and/or from the system's OpticsRE site<br>
to enable communication since the new MATE3S may have a different IP<br>
address, MAC Address, and etc than the MATE3 we are removing.<br>
<br>
We are hopeful the new MATE3S will allow the system to function better<br>
with its OpticsRE site and not need to be reset every couple months.<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you have any experience or thoughts to offer.<br>
<br>
Have any of you installed and setup the new MATE3S? Any Issues,<br>
insights, or comparisons to the MATE3 to report?<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
----MATT<br>
