Technical Features

Voltage and Current

• Nominal battery voltages: 12, 24, 36, 48 or 60 VDC (selectable when powering on the unit)
• Maximum output current: 80 amps @ 40ºC/104ºF with adjustable current limit

Power

• Maximum PV array power 12VCC systems: 1250W
• Maximum PV array power 24VCC systems: 2500W
• Maximum PV array power 48VCC systems: 5000W
• Maximum PV array power 60VCC systems: 7500W

Open Circuit Voltage

• PV array open circuit voltage: 150VDC maximum value under low temperature conditions / 145VDC for startup and maximum operating conditions

Consumption and Efficiency

• Standby consumption: Less than 1W
• Power conversion efficiency: 97.5% @ 80 Amps in a 48 VCC system typical

Charge Regulation

• Five states: bulk charge, absorption, float, standby and equalization
• Voltage regulation adjustment points: From 10 to 60 VDC, user-adjustable with password protection
• Equalization voltage: Programmable voltage and timing - Automatic completion

Temperature Compensation

• Battery temperature compensation: Automatic with optional RTS (remote temperature sensor) / 5.0 mV per ºC per 2 VDC battery cell

Other Features

• Reduced voltage capability: Allows charging a lower voltage battery with a higher voltage PV array - Max 150 VDC
• Auxiliary control output: Programmable 12VDC output available for different applications (max. 0.2A DC)
• Information display: 8cm (3.1”) backlit LCD screen with 4 lines and 80 characters
• Remote display and controller: Optional - MATE or MATE2 with RS232 serial port for communications
• Data network connection: OutBack Red OutBack data via RJ45 connector with CAT 5e (8-wire) cable
• Data logging: Last 128 days - Ah, Wh, peak W, Amps, PV voltage, float time, battery max and min voltage, absorption for each day plus accumulated values of Ah and kWh
• Wind/hydraulic energy: Consult manufacturer for compatible systems
• Positive to ground systems: Requires a bipolar switch to disconnect positive and negative conductors in the PV array and battery. (The use of HUB4 or HUB10 is not recommended in positive to ground systems)
• Operating temperature range: -40ºC to +60ºC (Output power derates from 40ºC)
• Environmental category: For indoor installation
• Connection holes: One 35mm (1”) rear; One 35mm (1”) left; Two 35mm (1”) bottom
