The FLEXmax family of charge controllers is the latest innovation in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers from OutBack Power. The innovative FLEXmax MPPT software algorithm 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, both FLEXmax charge controllers can operate at their full maximum current rating, 60 Amps or 80 Amps respectively, in ambient temperatures as high as 104°F (40°C).

Included in all of the FLEXmax 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. 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 FLEXmax series Charge Controllers to be remotely programmed and monitored via a MATE system display and provides unrivaled complete system integration.

FLEXmax MPPT Charge Controllers are the only choice when you demand a high performance, efficient and versatile charge controller for your advanced power system.

Product Highlights

• Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
• Active cooling and intelligent thermal management cooling
• Ambient temperatures as high as 104°F (40°C)
• Built-in, backlit 80 character display
• Integrated OutBack network communications

The HUB system communications manager is the backbone of your networked OutBack power conversion system. The OutBack HUB communicates stacking; load share and power save on/off signals. Interconnection cabling is standard Ethernet CAT5 with RJ45 modular jacks. Through the use of a HUB, your system is completely coordinated and managed by the MATE.

OutBack Power’s new MATE3s display and controller offer advanced features for monitoring and controlling your OutBack Power system.  Remotely manage and monitor multiple inverter/chargers, and DC monitoring devices with this well-designed controller.  The MATE3s intuitive user interface and integrated system configuration wizard make programming and setup simple.

The OutBack MATE3s controller’s unique multi-level password feature allows you to secure critical system settings from unintended changes while still allowing open access to necessary functions.  A built-in clock and calendar function allows for detailed timer-based programming of inverter and charger operation.  Settings are stored in permanent memory to preserve settings in the event of system shutdown.

The MATE3s features full remote system monitoring via an easy-to-use web interface.  An SD memory card slot allows you to increase data logging capacity as well as upgrade units in the field.  Web connectivity is provided with an included CAT 5 network cable with an RJ45 modular jack.

OutBack Power’s acclaimed Radian Series made the benefits of solar technology available and accessible in one platform.

The Radian GS7048E and GS3548E features dual AC inputs for grid/generator flexibility with no external switching required, unparalleled surge capability and operational stability, easy field upgradeability and stacking capability for large system scaling, simplified system commissioning through a powerful, easy to use configuration wizard and multi-mode operational flexibility.

The Radian GS7048E and GS3548E incorporate OutBack’s GridZero technology: energy management for self-generation and self-consumption programs providing precise balancing between using stored energy, solar and utility power, blending-in the latter to overcome surges and load spikes when needed.

The latest, most advanced features on the industry’s most trusted and proven platform—that’s the essence of OutBack’s new FXR Series of Grid/Hybrid inverter/chargers. Capable of off-grid or grid-connected operation in a single model, the FXR Grid/Hybrid inverter/chargers provide system designers with unprecedented flexibility and compatibility for nearly any power conversion scenario.

The new FXR features and technologies on the acclaimed FX platform include:

• Both off-grid and grid-tied functionality in one unit
• Seven programmable modes, including GridZero and Support Mode and built-in networked communications
• Advanced Battery Charging (ABC) with expanded charging voltages and time parameters, enabling system designers to accommodate the specific charging profiles and algorithms of new and emerging energy storage technologies including Lithium Ion, Aqueous Ion and Flow chemistry batteries
• Easy system upgradability in the field

FXR inverter/chargers can be paired with a MATE3s remote to add OPTICS RE to remotely monitor and control system performance from any location. Available in power ranges from 2000W-3600W, multiple units may be stacked and connected with other OutBack Power electronics for more seamless system integration and the ability to function in a wide variety of applications, and system sizes. Up to nine inverters can be combined in a 3-phase system with the 12V, 24V or 48V models, and up to 36kW in a grid-tied 24V or 48V system. The exclusive modular system architecture means that increased power output is just an additional FXR inverter/charger away.

Available in sealed or vented units with NEMA type 1 die-cast aluminum chassis designed to operate in the harshest environmental conditions such as high temperatures, humidity or corrosive salt air, the FXR’s continue in OutBack’s tradition of absolute dependability in mission critical installations no matter how harsh or challenging the conditions.

Features:

• Dimensions (LxWxH): 16.25 × 8.25 × 12 inches
• Weight: 28 kg
• Single-phase, 230V Sinewave Output
• Programmable for Seven Different Modes with Generator Assist
• Modular, Stackable Design for up to Nine Inverters in Three-phase and 10 Inverters in Grid-tied
• Up to 93% Operating Efficiency
• Field Upgradable Software
• Standard 5-Year Warranty with Optional 10-Year Upgrade
