RenewCanada's Newest Addition! Another Awesome Controller by Outback!

OutBack Power Systems FM80 FLEXmax 80 MPPT Charge Controller:

The FLEXmax 80 is the answer to those who need a high quality MPPT controller with more output than the MX60 or Xantrex XW  MPPT60-150. The FLEXmax 80 is the latest innovation in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers from OutBack Power Systems. The FLEXmax 80’s innovative MPPT algorithm is both continuous and active, increasing your renewable energy yield up to 30%. Thanks to enhanced cooling, the FLEXmax 80 can operate at its full 80 amp maximum current rating in ambient temperatures as high as 104°F (40°C).

Included in the FLEXmax 80 are all of the features first developed by OutBack Power in the revolutionary MX60, such as support for a wide range of nominal battery voltages and the ability to step-down a high voltage solar array to recharge a low voltage battery. A built-in backlit display shows status information at the touch of a button. Enhanced network communications allow the FLEXmax 80 to be remotely programmed via the optional MATE system display and controller.

The new FLEXmax 80 is the only choice when you demand a high performance, efficient and customizable charge controller for your advanced power system.

60 Amp 220 Volt DC Solid State Relay

The FM60 includes user programmable auxillary 12 volt relay driver to perform various functions. This is referred to as the AUX mode in the FM60's manual. The AUX mode in conjunction with this 60 amp DC solid state relay can be used as a:

• PV Trigger -  deactivates the relay to disconnect the array when the input voltage is too high (above 150 volts to protect FM60 from destruction)
• Diversion Control - diverts excess power to a DC load (air or water heater) from the batteries when a wind or water turbine is connected directly to the battery bank
• Low Battery Disconnect - activates/deactivates the AUX load(s) when a user determined voltage and time levels are reached to protect battery from deep discharge and damage.

25 Amp 24-240 Volt AC Solid State Relay

This 25 amp 240 volt AC solid state relay can be used with the FM80 to operate an AC (120 or 240 Volt) load as a diversion load. This load could be a standard AC 120/240 volt air heater or water heating element.

The AC diversion load should not have a fan as fans do not like to operate with a PWM input.

It could also be used with the FM80 to as a low battery disconnect for an any AC load or even the entire inverter output up to 25 amps to protect the battery from deep discharge and damage.
