OutBack Power FXR Series Installation Manual

Purpose
This document provides instructions for download and installation of grid support firmware for FXR
and VFXR inverters.
Instructions
To download and install firmware:
Remove the SD card from the MATE3 or MATE3s system display.
Remove all existing files on the SD card.
On the website www.outbackpower.com under the Firmware Update page, download the
compressed (.ZIP) file under FXR Grid Support. This includes firmware revisions, instructions,
and release notes for FXR 24- and 48-volt models.
Extract and download all files in the compressed folder.
NOTE: Make certain to extract (unzip) all the files before loading all of the contents onto the
card. If the files are loaded to the card in compressed form, they will be unusable.
Insert the SD card into the MATE3 or MATE3s system display. Press the LOCK navigation key
on the system display. Enter the 3-digit password 141 by using the control wheel. Press the
center button to proceed.
Choose Firmware Update from the menu and then MATE3 or MATE3s. For the MATE3 system
display, firmware revision 003.015.003 (or greater) should appear. For the MATE3s, firmware
revision 001.001.000 (or greater) should appear. Press Update and allow the system display to
update itself. This may take up to one minute. After the update, the system display returns to
Main Menu.
Press the LOCK key and then the UP key to access the Installer Password field. A qualified
person must take responsibility for the system by assigning a unique installer password before
grid protection parameters are accessible. If this password has already been changed from the
default password of 1732, then enter the unique installer password and proceed to step 8.
Otherwise enter 1732 and press the center button, then proceed to assign a unique
installer password.
NOTES

To Change the Installer Password:
Press Settings, then System, and then Installer Settings.
Within this menu, select Change Installer Password.
Choose a password that is different from 1732 by using the control wheel and center button.
Make sure to record the unique password in a location that is safe but accessible for later use.
Press the UP key three times to return to Main Menu.
If password 1732 does not work and the unique password cannot be recalled or changed,
