IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS General Precautions 1. Before using the FX, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) the FX, (2) the batteries and (3) all appropriate sections of this installation and operation manual. 2. CAUTION - To reduce risk of injury, charge only deep-cycle lead acid, lead antimony, lead calcium, gel cell or absorbed glass mat type rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury and damage. 3. The FX is approved for i

RATINGS NOMINAL SYSTEM AC VOLTAGE: This is the AC output voltage produced by an FX system. Each FX produces 230 VAC (volts of AC) but multiple FXs can be configured in parallel or 3-phase and these configurations may produce different voltages on the AC output legs. Single Phase 230 VAC at 50 Hz (VAC = volts AC, Hz = Hertz) Parallel Stacked 230 VAC at 50 Hz on one AC output leg Three Phase 230 VAC at 50 Hz per AC output leg (limit three)/400 VAC at 50 Hz between AC output le

RATINGS AC INPUT FREQUENCY RANGE: This is the AC input source’s frequency range that the FX will accept and stay connected. If the AC input source is out of this range, the FX will not connect or stay connected. All “Export” FXs 45 - 55 Hz MAXIMUM AC OUTPUT CURRENT: This is the amount of “Surge” current that the FX will supply. This amount of surge can only be supplied for a split second. After this split second the FX lowers this surge limit. Depending on the size of the su

MOUNTING All OutBack FX’s can be mounted in any position. Better performance will be achieved if it is mounted in a location which allows for air to circulate around the exterior of the casting. Locating the FX in a cool location will improve the operation and ensure the highest efficiency and power capacity. The following drawing provides the mounting and overall dimensions of the FX with the FXA kit (DCC + ACA + DCA) attached. The first dimension is inches and the second value in

COMPLETE OUTBACK INTEGRATED SYSTEMS Shown below are complete systems of OutBack FX’s for indoor installations. The system with four FX’s is shown mounted to the OutBack PSMP (Power System Mounting Plate). The PSMP comes with six 1x20mm thread forming screws for attaching FX’s and breaker boxes. The use of an external toothed star washer (provided) is required on one screw on each piece of equipment in order to bite through the powder coating and ensure grounding of all metal components

AC WIRING CONNECTIONS The FX system and the other OutBack balance of system components are designed to make it easy to meet any local and national electrical installation requirements. When used outside of the USA, follow the local installation codes for your country. If you are not familiar with the local installation codes, you should have the equipment installed by a qualified renewable energy equipment dealer or electrician. All wiring methods are to be made in accordance with th

INDICATORS / CONTROL WIRING The AC wiring compartment also encloses the green terminal block used for the low voltage control wiring. This six position terminal block can be unplugged to make wiring easier and to simplify the removal and reinstallation of an inverter. Two sets of multi-colored LED indicators are provided to display the operation of the system. One set of three LED’s is provided to indicate the voltage level of the battery connected to the DC terminals of the FX. This

BATTERY - FX CABLING DC BATTERY TERMINALS The DC terminals are made from solid brass with a stainless steel threaded stud. The threads are M8 x 1.25”. The black terminal is negative and the red terminal is positive. DO NOT PUT ANY WASHERS BETWEEN THE TERMINAL MOUNTING SURFACE AND THE ACTUAL BATTERY CABLE LUG. Place the flat washer, lock washer and nut on top of the battery terminal lug. TORQUE TO 60 INCH-POUNDS (5 FOOT-POUNDS OR 6.8 NM) MAXIMUM. UL listed DC rated circuit breakers are

FX ACCESSORIES FX-ACA (AC CONDUIT ADAPTER) This plastic box slips into grooves on the AC end of the FX. This adapter extends the AC wiring compartment to match the PSAC or PS2AC. It also provides more room for wiring than is available when using the supplied flat knockout plate. There is a 2-inch TSC cut-out on the plastic box to allow it to be used with the PSAC or PS2AC disconnect enclosure. FX-DCA (DC CONDUIT ADAPTER) The FX-DCA allows the connection of

HUB COMMUNICATION MANAGER The HUB communication manager allows the MATE to control and monitor a maximum of ten OutBack products. Currently the HUB comes in two types. The HUB-4 can connect up to four Outback FX’s, MX-60 MPPT charge controllers or a combination of the two. The HUB-10 (shown below) can connect up to ten Outback FX’s, MX-60 MPPT charge controllers or a combination of the two. The FX’s can be operated in a stacked or independent configuration. If the FX’s are to be st

TURBO KIT INFORMATION The Turbo Kit is an addition that can be added to any sealed FX. It is highly recommended in hot climates or for installations that can use a few hundred watts of extra power. Typically, the Turbo Kit adds 300-500 watts of power to the FX. In hot climates or when the FX is the primary charging device, the chances of the FX overheating are heightened. When the FX gets to its temperature limits, it will back off the charging process to avoid overheating (and a shu
