OutBack M-Series inverter/chargers provide true sinewave power output,
and intelligent battery charging. ey are modularly expandable to your
power needs providing a complete power conversion solution. ey incorpo-
rate a DC to AC inverter, battery charger, and an AC transfer switch, which
combines 30 amp pass through and neutral/ground switching.
All OutBack inverter/chargers produce virtually distortion free sinewave AC
power for onboard electronics like sensitive home theater equipment and
microwaves with minimal RF interference. Industry leading surge power
starts heavy loads like air conditioning. Power factor corrected battery charging gets the most out of your
shore cord and generator while maximizing the life and performance of your batteries. Ultra fast AC
transfer switch with neutral/ground switching seamlessly transfers shore cord current without dropping
loads. Modular expandability is achieved through networked communications, allowing your inverter
system to grow with your power consumption needs.
e Sealed OutBack M-Series inverter/charger is the most rugged design in the world. Conformal coated
circuit boards, powder coated die-cast aluminum chassis resist corrosion. No other inverter/charger can
operate in extreme climate conditions, such as highly corrosive salt air, and achieve the same level of
reliability and performance as the sealed M-Series.
e Vented OutBack M-Series has the same proven technology and conformal coated circuit boards as
the sealed version but offered in a vented chassis for higher power output. e fully screened “bug-proof”
openings keep the power conversion components cool in very hot environments even when operated at
high power for extended periods in more protected environments.
e OutBack M-Series inverter is the superior choice when you need a reliable, powerful, modular, and
true sinewave inverter/charger.

e MATE2M is a complete management tool for your OutBack marine power conversion system. e onboard
CPU coordinates the operation of all your OutBack system components for maximum performance and smooth
system integration.
A backlit LCD provides a display for system monitoring while four so keys allow navigation of the menu system and
adjustment of settings. Information for up to 10 inverter/chargers and other OutBack power conversion equipment
is available at your fingertips through the communications HUB. Your programmed settings are stored in permanent
memory to eliminate the need
to reprogram the system in the event of a system shutdown or battery replacement.
e OutBack MATE2M includes a built in clock and calendar which allows timer based programming of power system operation. is enables
the user to specify a generator’s run time to a specific time period of the day or week.
“Corrosion resistant aluminum marine PS2 system
components are available for larger applications.”
