FLEXmax 60
OutBack's industry
leading Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Charge Controllers offer
customers the same reliability and durability built into every OutBack
product. Innovative solar harvesting and battery charging algorithms
allow you to maximize your systems potential and can increase your
renewable energy yield by up to 30%.
• Increases
PV Array Output by up to 30%
• Advanced Continuous Maximum Power Point Tracking
• Full Power Output in Ambient Temperatures up to 104°F
(40°C)
• Battery Voltages from 12 VDC to 60 VDC
• Fully OutBack Network Integrated and Programmable
• Programmable Auxiliary Control Output
• Built-in 128 days of Data Logging

The FLEXmax
family of charge controllers is the latest innovation in Maximum
Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers from OutBack Power
Systems. 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 60 Amp current
rating, 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.
