Prole Wizard
Prole Wizard
Profile Wizard (W)
The Prole Wizard is a guided program for rapidly conguring devices. It prevents
the need for repetitive programming when multiple common devices are used.
The Wizard asks the user a series of questions that describe the system. The Wizard uses the answers to
these questions to build a “prole” of the best settings for all devices. When prompted by the user, the
Wizard will use the prole to communicate with the devices and program the settings.
An installer can create new proles, use existing proles, or restore proles to their original state.

○ Using Existing Profiles (W-2)
○ Restoring Profiles (W-3)
Note that a Prole is not the same as a System Conguration as programmed in the System menu. See S-2 on
page 5. Additionally, see W-4 on page 44 for other items not programmed by the Wizard.
IMPORTANT:
Please program the Prole Wizard in accordance with the Recommended Programming Order on page 4.
W-1. Creating New Profiles
Creating a prole involves customizing various aspects of a system. These
include system type, battery charging and monitoring, and inverter interactions
with both utility grid and generator. Once a custom prole is saved to an SD
card, it can be re-applied if the settings are ever lost. An installer can also apply
a conguration from an SD card to similar systems.
To create a new prole:
1. From the Prole Wizard menu, select New Prole.
2. Press <Continue> to conrm a new prole. This enters a series of screens with
settings. The screens are shown on page 44, beginning with Wizard Date & Time (A).
3. The last setup screen is the Setup Complete screen J. At this point the prole can
be applied to the system (K), or it can be saved rst (L).
NOTE: Pressing the <Exit> soft key will return to the Main Menu without saving
or applying the prole. All changes will be lost.
4. The <Program> soft key (K) will apply the prole to the system. All settings will be
programmed into the appropriate devices and will immediately take effect. The
message Programming System will appear. When it is complete, System
Programmed will appear. The <Save> soft key (L) will appear again.
IMPORTANT:
Making changes in steps 2 and 3 is not the same as programming them.
Changes are only applied to the system once the <Program> soft key is pressed.
5. The <Save> soft key (L) saves the prole to the SD card. The screens are shown on page 46,
beginning with the Save Prole Wizard screen.
NOTE: Saving a prole will not apply it to the system, but a saved prole can be retrieved and applied later. See W-2.
6. Once programming and saving is complete, press <Exit> to return to the Main Menu.
W-2. Using Existing Profiles
If the most recent prole was lost or changed, it can be retrieved from an
SD card and applied to the system. If the prole was not ideal, any existing
value can be changed before re-applying the prole.
To apply a prole that was previously saved:
1. From the Prole Wizard menu, select Existing Prole. This will take the most recent
prole stored in the MATE3s and apply it to the system.
When Using Existing Prole is displayed:
2. If the prole needs to be changed, press the <Continue> soft key. This enters a
series of screens with settings. The progression of screens is shown on page 44,
beginning with Wizard Date & Time (A).
3. To retrieve and apply the most recent prole, press the <Program> soft key K.
All settings will be programmed into the appropriate devices and will immediately
take effect. The message Programming System will appear. When it is complete,
System Programmed and the <Save> soft key (L) will appear. See Step 5.
4. The last setup screen is the Setup Complete screen J. At this point the prole can
be applied to the system (K). Any changes can be saved rst (L).
5. The <Save> soft key (L) allows the prole to be saved to the SD card. The screens
are shown on page 46, beginning with the Save Prole Wizard screen.
6. Once programming and saving is complete, press <Exit> to return to the Main Menu.
W-3. Restoring Profiles
Previously saved proles can be selected and retrieved. If the prole
was not ideal, any existing value can be changed. Once all values are
conrmed, the prole can either be saved or applied.
To restore a prole that was previously saved:
1. From the Prole Wizard menu, select Restore Prole. The MATE3s will access
the SD card and display the names of the proles available to be restored.
2. Use the control wheel to scroll through the names.
3. When the desired prole is selected, press the <RESTORE> soft key to start
the restoration process. This will go through each screen to conrm it is accurate.
The progression of screens is shown below, beginning with System Type (A).
4. The last setup screen is the Setup Complete screen J. At this point the prole can be
applied to the system (K), or it can be saved rst (L). See Step 6.
5. The <Program> soft key (K) will apply the prole to the system. All settings will be
programmed into the appropriate devices and will immediately take effect. The
message Programming System will appear. When it is complete, System
Programmed and the <Save> soft key (L) will appear.
6. The <Save> soft key (L) allows the prole to be saved to the SD card. The screens
are shown on page 46, beginning with the Save Prole Wizard screen.
7. Once programming and saving is complete, press <Exit> to return to the Main Menu.
