Installation Tips
•  Never use less than the minimum recommended number and type of fasteners when installing  
  the FLEXware Mounting Plates. 
•  Each FX weighs in excess of 50 lbs and is often more easily installed by two people rather  
  than one.
•  Be sure the DC enclosure is secured to the FLEXware Mounting Plate before attaching the  
  MX Charge Controller to it.
•  Installation of each enclosure and breakers is normally easier by removing the breaker brackets  
  rst. Do not remove any breaker knockouts from these brackets without referring to the chosen  
  AC IOB kits and DC breaker selections rst.
•  It is also easier if all conduit knock outs are removed before mounting the enclosures.
Mounting and Installation
FLEXware 500 is designed for mounting on the FLEXware Mounting Plate (FW-MP). Although the 
components can be secured to other surfaces, the FW-MP is an engineered platform designed 
for the FLEXware 500 installation. This manual illustrates such an installation. OutBack does not 
endorse other installation methods and therefore cannot recommend fasteners or other means of 
attachment due to the variety of installations possible in the eld. 
Please see the FLEXware Mounting Plate Instructions for further information.
In addition to installing the AC and DC chassis, a typical installation includes two FX Series  
Inverter/Chargers, an MX60 Charge Controller, a HUB Communications Manager, and AC and DC 
conduit adapters. The installation of these components is also displayed in these instructions.
