OutBack Power Systems
Grid Interactive Inverters
 GTFX and GVFX inverters provide automatic backup power when utility outages occur. The FX inverter from OutBack Power has established itself in the Off-Grid world. Now they bring their expertise to the multi-purpose grid-tied market place with the GTFX and the GVFX models that provide automatic back-up power when utility outages occur. The GTFX is sealed and includes a turbo fan kit. GVFX models are vented and no fan is with an internal cooling fan. Use of an MPPT controller such as the OutBack's MX60 will greatly increase the energy harvested from the PV array. Maximum of two GTFX or GVFX inverters can be connected in series for 240 Vac split phase output. All models are ETL listed to UL-1741. 5 year warranty. Extended warranty available direct from manufacturer.
FX Series Inverters
 OutBack Power's line-up of inverters has grown considerably over the past few years. Now six different power levels are offered at a variety of  voltages ranging from 12 to 48Vdc. All FX inverters offer the pure sinewave output, a high current battery charger and AC transfer switch. Multiple pairs of FX inverters can be connected together (using HUB) configured for 220/240Vac split phase output (using MATE) for a maximum of 10 inverters. Three FX inverters can be connected in parallel for 120Vac single phase output or configured for 208 Vac three phase output. All models have a single 60 Amp AC input and transfer relay. The gasketed die-cast aluminum chassis protects and keeps the power conversion components cool. Sealed units are water proof to IEC529 IP65 standards and have an operational temperature range of -40C to -60C. Vented version has stainless steel screens to protect the air Intake and internal fan. The air inlet comes with a removable, washable foam filter insert. FX inverters are compatible with OutBack FLEXware enclosures and racks.
All are 120Vac/60Hz single phase. Available in 230Vac/50Hz versions and mobile verions with built-in AC neutral/ground switching system. FX Series can surge two times their power rating.
HUB System Communications Managers
 The HUB system communications managers are the backbone of your networked OutBack power conversion system. The OutBack HUB communicates stacking, load share and power save off/on signals. Interconnection cabling is standard Ethernet CAT5 with RJ45 modular jacks. Through the use of a HUB, your system is completely coordinated and managed by the MATE. HUB4 allows four HUB combined inputs of inverter with charge controllers, HUB10 permits up to 10 combined inputs.
FLEXnet DC
The FLEXnet™ DC is the ultimate in DC System monitoring devices. Integrated networked communications make valuable, usable data available from your system, viewable on an OutBack MATE
communications device providing you with performance and efficiency information. FLEXnet DC easily integrates into either FW500-DC or FW1000-DC enclosures consuming one breaker space and can
monitor up to three shunts. The FLEXnet DC features a programmable SPST auxiliary relay, data logging memory up to 128 days and allows you to easily see your systems current condition with at-a-glance
displays including a:
Battery status screen - Easily see your system’s current condition with this at-a-glance display. This screen shows an easy to interpret “fuel gauge” style status bar, current state-of-charge and whether you are currently charging or discharging your batteries. This is useful for those system owners who want a way to quickly understand the current state of their battery bank.
Now summary screen - Monitor the amount of power your system is currently producing and consuming as well as the amount of power going IN and OUT of your battery bank. This screen also displays your battery bank’s voltage and current state-of-charge, providing you with real-time production monitoring of DC sources, such as a solar array or small wind turbine, as well as consumption by loads.
Today summary screen -Monitor the cumulative energy your system has produced and consumed as well as the total amount of energy that has gone to charging your batteries today. This screen also
displays today’s lowest state-of-charge and allows you to see how your overall system production compares to system consumption.
History summary screen - Review historical energy production/consumption data for the most recent 128 days, including the minimum battery state-of-charge reached for each day. This screen can be used
to watch power system production and consumption trends.
MATE
The Mate is a complete system controller and display for FX Inverters and OutBack charge controllers (see Controller section). MATE provides a display of operation, allows control and adjustment of inverter set points, coordinates entire system operation to maximize overall performance and prevents multiple products from conflicting. All MATE’s Include a 3 ft. and 10 ft. long CATV.5e cable, 50 ft. cable sold separately.
A single MATE is able to connect to multiple FX inverters with a HUB communication manager. It includes a 4-line backlit LCD display, status LED indicators, opto-isolated RS232 port with a DB9 jack and real time clock with calendar allowing inverter programming for time of day or day of week. All programmed set points are stored in permanent memory. MATE is off-white oval surface mount sousing. MATE_B is same as MATE, but Black. MATE2 is rectangular black flush mount housing, MATE2M is same as MATE2, but for M series inverter/chargers. 2-year warranty.
Remote Temperature Sensor
The OutBack Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS) is a necessary tool for proper battery charging. All OutBack products with integrated battery charging have a temperature compensation system built-in which benefits from the installation of the optional RTS. The RTS ensures that your OutBack system knows the precise ambient temperature so that it can recharge your batteries safely and efficiently. Systems with multiple OutBack inverters/charge controllers connected to one HUB4 or HUB10 require only a single RTS to be installed.
