Description
FLEXmax FM60 and FM80 controllers come standard with a four-line, 80-character backlit LCD screen that displays PV system performance with a 128-day history and can also be used for programming and monitoring system operation. Both controllers have a programmable AUX relay that can be used for control functions such as battery-enclosure fans, generator starting, or load control. The AUX output is 200 mA at 12 VDC.Use it to power a separate relay with a 12 VDC coil if you need to control more current or to control voltages (AC or DC) other than 12 VDC.
FLEXmax FM100-AFCI MPPT Charge Controller
OutBack Powers new FLEX max FM100-AFCI medium-voltage charge controller accepts higher voltages from PV arrays to allow for longer wire runs with reduced wire sizes. It can be used to charge 24 or 48 VDC battery systems from PV arrays with voltage up to 290 VDC, but can withstand voltages up to 300 VDC without damage. Output is rated at 100 A at 25C (with deration to 80 A at 40C), with four-stage charging and an operating temperature range of -20 C to +60 C. NEMA 3R design allows for outdoor installation.
The FM100-AFCI employs industry-leading technology to meet the most recent 2017 code compliance with regards to GFDI and AFCI detection and interruption, rapid shutdown, and related disconnecting means. Systems that use the FM100 AFCI require no additional GFDI or AFCI equipment. This makes it the most cost effective, easy to install, and low maintenance controller on the market for NEC 2014 and NEC 2017 compliant systems.Built-in AUX relay has a 12 VDC output of up to 250 mA.
- 100A output for up to 5kW of charging
- Compatible with 24, 36 and 48VDC battery banks
- Integrated ground fault protection
- System configures quickly with smart programming wizards (MATE3s required)
- 300VDC open-circuit voltage limit enables 2-string configuration that minimizes BOS
The FLEXmax 100 is the latest innovation in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers from OutBack Power.
The advanced FM100 MPPT algorithm offers increased energy harvest from the PV array than other MPPT controllers. The FLEXmax 100 delivers both higher voltage and higher power, offering improved flexibility and performance.
OutBack network communications and OPTICS RE compatibility allows the FLEXmax 100 to be remotely programmed, monitored and controlled via any internet connected device providing unrivalled system integration.
The FM100-300VDC is a top-of-the-line high performance, efficient and versatile charge controller for your advanced power system.
NOTICE: The PNL-GFDI-80 series ground fault breakers that are included in many prewired load centers and FP systems are NOT rated for use on circuits shared with an FM100-300VDC! The FM100-300VDC charge controller is equipped with an internal ground-fault protection device and simply requires 300-VDC rated overcurrent protection on its input and output circuits. The PNL-100/125-300VDC series breakers are recommended for the battery side and the PNL-40/60/80-300VDC series breakers are recommended for the PV array side. Due to the different voltage ratings, OutBack Power does not recommend mixing the FM100-300VDC with the FM60 or FM80-150VDC controllers on the same battery bank. Be sure to thoroughly review installation instructions when installing OutBack Power equipment.
