Outback FlexMax FM60 & FM80

FlexMax FM80 charge controllers from OutBack Power Systems are the benchmark in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers.

The innovative FLEXmax MPPT software in the FLEXmax FM60 is both continuous and active, increasing your photovoltaic array power yield up to 30% compared to non-MPPT controllers. Thanks to active cooling and intelligent thermal management cooling, the FLEXmax FM80 charge controllers can operate at their full maximum current rating of 80 Amps, in ambient temperatures as high as 40°C.

Included in the Outback FM80 Charge Controllers are the revolutionary features first developed by OutBack Power, including support for a wide range of nominal battery voltages and the ability to step-down a higher voltage solar array to recharge a lower voltage battery bank. You can wire your array up to 60 volts and feed a 12, 24, 36 or 48 volt battery bank.

A built-in, backlit 80 character display shows the current status and logged system performance data for the last 128 days at the touch of a button. The integrated OutBack network communications allows the FM80 Charge Controllers to be remotely programmed and monitored via a MATE system display and provides unrivaled complete system integration. FM80 Charge Controllers are the only choice when you demand a high performance, efficient and versatile charge controller for your advanced power system.

Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS)

Works with all OutBack inverters and the FlexMax charge controllers. Not compatible with Trace inverters. Includes 15 FT (5M) cable.

Remote Display options : MATE, MATE 2

For one or more FX, VFX and/or MX60. Four line 80 character LCD display with backlight. RS232 port for PC connection (software not included). Wall surface mount with 3′ and 50′ catV cable included.

Highly recommended for any OutBack inverter system for setpoint adjustment and monitoring. Plugs into the Stack-2 or Stack-4 or Hub-4 or Hub-10 for stacked inverters. We recommend the Hub over the Stack so all inverters can be monitored without unplugging cables (the Stack-2 and Stack-4 require the Mate be plugged into separate ports for each inverter successively).

Can be located up to 1000 feet away from inverter or MX. Only one Mate at a time can monitor a system via the hub, although that should change with future firmware.

Other options : HUB 4, HUB 10
