60/80A, 12/24/36/48/60 VDC, Auto Voltage, High Efficiency, Programmable
Overview
The innovative FLEXmax Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) software algorithm is both continuous and active, increasing your photo-voltaic array power yield up to 30% compared to non-MPPT controllers.
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), thanks to active cooling and intelligent thermal management cooling.Included in all of the FLEXmax Charge Controllers are the revolutionary features, 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.
