FLEXmax 60/80-1

Continuous Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Charge Controllers Increases PV Array Output by up to 30% Advanced Continuous Maximum Power Point Tracking Full Power Output in Ambient Temperature up to 104°F (40°C) Battery Voltages from 12 to 60 VDC Fully OutBack Network Integrated and Programmable Programmable Auxiliary Control Output Built-in 128 Days of Data Logging Standard 5-Year Warranty FLEXmax 80 The FLEXmax family of charge controllers is the industry leading innovation in Maximum Power Point (MPPT) charge controllers from OutBack Power. 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 current rating, 60 Amps or 80 Amps respectively, in ambient temperatures as high as 104°F (40°C). Included in all 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 Power network communications allow FLEXmax series charge controllers to be remotely programmed and monitored using the MATE family of system displays and provide 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.
