I primarily do small cabins and service work, but have been a part of some decent residential systems. Does anyone have any good literature and/or videos of updating firmware on Outback Mate3 controllers. I've seen instructions, but I hear little tricks/tips that are not at all in the instructions. I'm looking for a really good, detailed instruction sheet so I can keep it for reference. Thanks for any responses. <br>
