The present Vbatt meter reading is displayed here for convenience.

The Sweep Interval mode or mini-sweep deter- mines how often a sweep occurs, ranging from 0-15 minutes. A sweep is a search for the best MPP for the array. At zero minutes, the MPPT mini-sweep function is disabled (this is not recommended for PV arrays). No sweeping occurs if the output current is under

fi ve amps because it operates at the Park Mpp value. Sweeping does occur when the output current is higher than fi ve amps or to maintain user current limit and to track the MPP of the array throughout the day. A mini-sweep is an accurate but less exten- sive version of the full initial sweep done at wakeup.

Press the <–MIN> soft key to decrease minisweep interval minutes or press the <+MIN> soft key to increase the minutes. Press the <NEXT> soft key to view the Vbatt Calibration screen.

A quality calibrated voltmeter will provide even more accurate MX60 battery voltage readings if an un- desirable voltage drop is present. When measuring battery voltage, ensure a good connection is made to the Four-Position Terminal Block. Check the bat- tery temperature compensation voltages if voltages are much different than you expect from the charger setup Absorb and Float voltage settings. Use the <-V> and <+V> soft keys to match the readings from the voltmeter. When fi nished, press the <NEXT> soft key to view the next screen.

MX60 specifications

The Outback Power Systems MX60 is a state-of-the-art solar charge controller designed for off-grid and grid-tied systems, providing users with cutting-edge technology and efficiency in managing their solar energy resources. This device stands out in the renewable energy market due to its versatile features, robust performance, and ease of use.

One of the main features of the MX60 is its high-efficiency MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology. This advanced technology optimizes the energy harvested from solar panels by adjusting the electrical operating point of the modules, allowing the system to extract the maximum available power. The MX60 can handle a considerable input voltage of up to 150 volts and offers a maximum output current of 60 amps, making it suitable for both small and large-scale installations.

The MX60’s robust architecture ensures its durability in harsh environmental conditions. With an operating temperature range of -40°F to 176°F, the charge controller performs reliably in varied climatic conditions, whether in extreme heat or bitter cold. This makes it an ideal choice for remote locations and rugged terrains where traditional power sources might be unreliable or unavailable.

An intuitive LCD interface equipped with a user-friendly display allows for easy monitoring and configuration. Users can track real-time performance metrics, including solar array voltage, output current, battery voltage, and charging status. The device is also equipped with advanced programmable settings, offering users complete control over charging parameters and battery maintenance.

Moreover, the MX60 incorporates essential safety features, including over-voltage and over-current protection, reverse polarity protection, and temperature compensation. Such safety measures are crucial in preventing damages to both the controller and the connected battery system.

The MX60 is compatible with various battery types, including Flooded, AGM, Gel, and Lithium, providing flexibility in energy storage options. It seamlessly integrates with Outback's Radian inverter systems, facilitating a comprehensive energy management solution for residential and commercial applications.

In summary, the Outback Power Systems MX60 is an exceptional choice for those looking for a reliable and efficient solar charge controller. Its combination of advanced technology, robust construction, and user-friendly features makes it an essential component for anyone interested in harnessing the power of solar energy.
