Description
OutBack Power FM100-300VDC FLEXmax MPPT Charge Controller
The FLEXmax 100 is the latest innovation in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers from OutBack Power.
The advanced FM100 MPPT algorithm offers increased energy harvest from the PV array than other MPPT controllers. The FLEXmax 100 delivers both higher voltage and higher power, offering improved flexibility and performance.
So with the higher voltage on this controller, instead of doing strings of 2-3 modules, like on the FM60/80 controllers, you can do strings of up to 6 or 7 60-cell modules in series. This greatly reduces installation time and BOS costs.
OutBack network communications and OPTICS RE compatibility allows the FLEXmax 100 to be remotely programmed, monitored and controlled via any internet connected device providing unrivaled system integration.
The FM100-300VDC is a top-of-the-line high performance, efficient and versatile charge controller for your advanced power system.
Features:
- 100A output for up to 5kW of charging
- Compatible with 24, 36 and 48VDC battery banks
- Minimum battery bank size, 100Ah
- Field-replaceable cooling fan
- Built-in ground fault protection and rapid shutdown capacitor discharge for easy code-compliant installation
- System configures quickly with smart programming wizards (MATE3s required)
- Monitor, command, and control over the Internet with OPTICS RE
- 300VDC open-circuit voltage limit enables up to 6-7string configuration that minimizes BOS
- 5 Year Warranty
