Jay,
Is there cell? If so use a cradlepoint. I do this with combox and it is very reliable. A bit slow but I can change anything in the system. I have not tried it with Outback Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "we go where powerlines don't" http://members.sti.net/offgridsolar/ [1] e-mail offgridso...@sti.net [2] text 209 813 0060 On Fri, 16 Nov 2018 19:39:26 -0800, Jay wrote: Hi william Very tech fix with the relay! Fortunately or unfortunately there is no reliable web at the location but someone who manually checks things. Yes the 3s still has some of the same problems Thx Jay Peltz power.

For most installations I leave the hub wire cover off and label the Mate lead. Clients are instructed to unplug and re-plug the Cat5 lead whenever the Mate locks up. 2. On one installation I have a Control By Web unit ping both Mate3 units every 5 minutes. If either fails to respond after 3 attempts, a relay opens and closes the Orange/white leads which power cycles the Mates. Locking up of Mates is a fact of life with Outback equipment. I love the equipment and I hate the equipment.

He has a test setup that allows him to switch individuals lines on the cat5 cables. We can duplicate Jay's screen shot below by opening the some of the lines to the cat 5 cable. So as a start try replacing the cat5 between the Mate3S and the Hub. Using the silicone grease that comes with a Mate is never a bad idea. If your customer does not have a cable on hand I would try removing the cable several times perhaps that could help to dislodge any corrosion or dust on the connections. I hope this helps.

I've got 2 systems that have had this happen. One is a big system ( 2 radians and 5 CC). Of course its a long ways away and no there isn't internet so no OpticsRE. Its been reprogramed with latest REV firmware. No change. thx jay peltz power _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org [8] Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org [9] List-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html [10] List rules border-left:#1010ff 2px solid; margin-left:5px; width:100%"> _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org [13] Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org [14] List-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html [15] List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm [16] Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org [17] -- Links: ------ [1] http://members.sti.net/offgridsolar/ [2] mailto:offgridso...@sti.net [3] mailto:will...@millersolar.com [4] http://www.millersolar.com/ [5] mailto:re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org [6] mailto:re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org [7] mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org [8] mailto:RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org [9] http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org [10] http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html [11] http://www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm [12] http://www.members.re-wrenches.org [13] mailto:RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org [14] http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org [15] http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html [16] http://www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm [17] http://www.members.re-wrenches.org
