Turn the PV input breaker on. The FLEXmax 80 automatically detects the PV input voltage.

(Note: If PV voltage registers “000V” when the breaker is on, please check the polarity of the PV wires.)

The FLEXmax 80 enters a “Wakeup” stage, transitions to “Tracking” and prepares to charge the batteries by tracking the maximum power point of the solar array.
