IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Installation Guidelines This manual contains important instructions for the OutBack FX series inverter/charger system with the software which allows classic (two FX’s in series), parallel and series/parallel stacking of two to ten FX’s for higher power and/or higher voltage systems. 1 All of the AC wiring to the AC terminals is to be torqued to 30 inch-pounds (equivalent to 2.5 foot-pounds or 3.4 Nm). Wiring to these terminals must meet requirements of the Nat

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 ind

RATINGS ATTENTION: All “FX” inverter/chargers are ETL listed to UL 1741. All “Mobile” FX inverter/chargers are ETL listed to UL 458. ETL is a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). NOMINAL SYSTEM AC VOLTAGE: This is the AC output voltage produced by an FX system. Each FX produces 120 VAC but multiple FXs can be configured in parallel, series or 3-phase to produce different voltages between their AC output connections. Single Phase 120 VAC at 60 Hz (VAC = volts AC

RATINGS MAXIMUM CURRENT FOR BATTERY CHARGER: The FX uses AC current from the AC input source to charge the battery. Due to heat constraints, the FX limits this amount of current. The maximum and default values for this setting are shown below. Please refer to the programming section to adjust this setting. The battery charger has an efficiency of about 90%. There are other factors like cable losses that may reduce this efficiency. The maximum DC current that can be produced is also s

MOUNTING All 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 ensure the highest efficiency and power capacity. The following drawings provide the mounting and overall dimensions of the FX with the DCC, ACA and DCA attached. All VFXs come with the DCC and all FX “T”s come with the Turbo. The ACA and the DCA must be ordered

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 PS4MP (Power System 4 Mounting Plate where the “4” in refers to the maximum number of FX’s that will fit). The PS4MP 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 throu

AC WIRING CONNECTIONS The FX system and the other OutBack balance of system components are designed to make it easy to meet both local and National Electrical Codes (NEC) installation requirements. If you are not familiar with the NEC, you should have the equipment installed by a qualified renewable energy equipment electrician. Contact your dealer for information on qualified electricians. All wiring methods are to be made in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. T

INDICATORS & CONTROL WIRING The AC wiring compartment also encloses the following items; a 6-port terminal block, an RJ-11 jack, an RJ-45 jack, a set of three “Battery” LEDs and a set of three “Status” LEDs. The 6-port terminal block contains ports for Inverter & On/Off, AUX + & AUX –, and XCT + & XCT -. The RJ-11 “Battery Temp” jack accepts only OutBack’s “RTS” battery temperature sensor. Non-OutBack sensors may fit, but if their thermister value is not identical to the RTS’s, your batte

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 lug, washers and nut in the following order: Lug, Flat Washer, Lock Washer, Nut. TORQUE TO 60 INCH-POUNDS (5 FOOT POUNDS) MAXIMUM (6.77 NM). Mobile FXs come with a fuse

FX ACCESSORIES 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 PS4AC or PS2AC. It also provides more room for wiring than is available when using the supplied AC conduit plate. There is a 2-inch TSC cut-out on the plastic box to allow it to be used with the PS4AC or PS2AC disconnect enclosure or 2-inch conduit. The ACA may also be used for mounting two breakers OBDC breakers (rated

TURBO KIT INFORMATION The Turbo Kit is an addition that is either included or can be added to any sealed FX. Typically, the Turbo Kit adds 300-500 watts of power to a sealed FX. This extra power is included in the model number for sealed FXs that come with Turbos. If the sealed FX did not come with a Turbo and one is added, then the FX will be able to produce the extra 300-500 watts of power in addition to the power that the model number indicates. Do not use the Turbo with a vented VFX!

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 products (FX’s and/or MX-60’s). The HUB-10 (shown below) can connect up to ten Outback products (FX’s and/or MX-60’s). The FX’s can be operated in a stacked or independent configuration. If the FX’s are to be stacked, the HUB must be part of the system. In a stacked configuration,
