Outback MPPT technology Solar Charge controllers

The FM60 and FM80 is a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) regulator, and is suitable for 12, 24 or 48 V batteries. With an output current of 60 amps, the MX60 is can work with higher voltage arrays - up to 140 VDC open circuit allowing the use of smaller gauge wire when the solar array is of a distance from the battery bank.

All of the MX60’s status information is displayed on the large built-in 3.1" (8 cm) backlit LCD screen. Monitoring your solar array’s performance is easy because of included data logging system that automatically records the last 64 days of system operation. OutBack’s network communication system allows your MX60 to communicate with the rest of your OutBack system, eliminating multiple product interaction problems and allowing remote monitoring via the OutBack MATE display up to 1000 feet / 300 meters away.
