APPENDIX

Common Tasks

The following tasks are common to many OutBack Power Systems customers and are viewable and programmable using the MATE. They are fully explained within this manual. The purpose here is to offer an overview of the tasks and put them in an easily understandable context, especially for new users.

NOTE: The MATE acts almost exclusively as a display screen only for the MX60 Charge Controller. The MX60 has its own screen and soft keys for its programming.

How to recharge the batteries using an FX Series Inverter/Charger

Go to the CHARGER screens in the ADVANCED menu and set the limits. These limits include:

•charger limit—how much charge the FX uses to charge the batteries

•absorb set point—voltage level reached during the BULK or first stage of charging

•absorb set time limit—amount of time recharging spends at the absorb set point to fully recharge the batteries

•float set point—the final charging voltage when the refloat voltage is met

•float time period—amount of time the charging process holds at the float set point

•refloat set point—when the batteries fall below this voltage, the FX starts a REFLOAT cycle to keep the batteries charged

•equalize set point—a high voltage used for occasional equalization recharging

•equalize time period—amount of time the batteries are held at the EQ voltage

Recharge the batteries using HBX—high battery transfer—with a grid-connected FX Series Inverter/Charger

Go to the HBX screens in the ADVANCED menu and establish the voltage and time set points:

•hbx-use grid set point: the voltage value that initiates the HBX recharging mode

•hbx-use grid delay—the amount of time the battery voltage must remain below the hbx-use grid set point before the charge cycle can begin

•hbx-drop grid set point—the voltage value which, when reached, stops the recharging process

•hbx-drop grid delay—the amount of time the battery voltage must remain about the hbx- drop grid set point before the recharging stops
