SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions and cautionary markings on the FX, the batteries and all appropriate sections of this installation and user manual as well as other component manuals before using the system. Be cautious around electricity, electrical components, and batteries. Shocks, burns, injury, and even death can occur if an installer comes in contact with electricity. Install all components and wiring according to national and local electrical and building codes. This includes: • Submitting a plan to the local building department • Passing inspection • Requiring a licensed electrician to do the work when mandated OutBack Power Systems cannot be responsible for system failure, damages, or injury resulting from improper installation of their products. Use only the recommended DC and AC wire sizes or greater. Be sure all wires are in good condition. Install the FX in a dry location, preferably indoors. • Install the FX in a shaded area out of direct sun light for best operation. • For installations where the FX may be exposed to water spray, a sealed FX must be used and mounted either with the base down (shelf mounting) or with the AC wiring compartment facing down (wall mounting). • If mounted with the base down, water cannot be allowed to accumulate around the FX’s base. There is a drainage system on the base of the FX to dispel condensation. • If submerged, water can enter this drain and cause failure. • The Vented FX (VFX) must be installed in a weather-proof enclosure or enclosed area. It is not designed for exposure to water or excessive wind-blown dust and debris. INITIAL INSPECTION Your FX is stoutly packaged for secure shipping. Please inspect the packaging and component for damage prior to installation. READ FIRST! IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Design the battery enclosure to prevent accumulation and concentration of hydrogen gas in “pockets”

at the top of the enclosure. Vent the battery compartment from the highest point to the outside. A sloped lid can also be used to direct the fl ow of hydrogen to the vent opening. CAUTION To reduce risk of injury, charge only deep-cycle lead acid, lead antimony, lead calcium, gel cell or absorbed glass mat type rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury and damage. Never charge a frozen battery. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS • Someone should be within range of your voice to come to your aid if needed. • Keep plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. • Wear complete eye protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries. Wash your hands with soap and warm water when done. • If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters an eye, fl ood the eye with cool running water at once for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention immediately following. • Baking soda neutralizes lead acid battery electrolyte. Keep a supply on hand in the area of the batteries. • NEVER smoke or allow a spark or fl ame in vicinity of a battery or generator. • Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto batteries. It could short-circuit the batteries or other electrical parts which can result in fi re or explosion. • Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a battery or other electrical current. A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing severe burns. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING SYMBOLS: Pertains to a Grid-Tie FX Pertains to a Mobile FX WARNING: WORKING NEAR LEAD ACID BATTERIES CAN BE DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL OPERATION. M GT

DC WIRING ORIGINATION

DC brass battery terminals with 8M x 1.00 stainless steel threaded studs Red terminal=battery positive Battery terminal covers Black terminal = battery negative SYSTEM PROTECTION Electrical systems are designed to protect you, the wires, the components, and the devices served by the system. Each FX must be part of a permanently grounded electrical system (see page 8). Grounding protects people and equipment from electrical shock. Grounding must be done according to local and national electrical codes. OutBack circuit breakers—rated at 100% duty cycle— protect wiring by limiting the amount of current entering a system. All wired electrical systems require circuit breakers or fuses for protection. OutBack off ers both breakers and fuses for over- current protection. If they are provided by other vendors, they must be properly rated.

AC WIRING ORIGINATION

Lexan cover protects AC Wiring Compartment Board AC WIRING COMPARTMENT BOARD AC HOT OUT supplies power to the loads. AC NEUTRAL OUT acts as neutral leg for loads supplied by the FX. CHASSIS GROUND connections are common and act as grounds for both the incoming and outgoing AC circuits. AC NEUTRAL IN acts as the neutral leg for AC power supplied by either the grid or a generator to the FX. AC HOT IN connects incoming AC from the grid or a generator to the FX. This AC is used to run loads and recharge batteries. NOTE: “CHASSIS GROUND” in the AC terminal block reads as “NEU/GROUND BOND” ON FX MOBILE SERIES (see page 21). NOTE: 6 AWG (4.11 mm) is the largest wire size the AC Wiring Compartment Board can accommodate.                                                   AC Terminal Block--secures AC connections to the FX using set screws AC Wiring Board M

LOW VOLTAGE TERMINALS

Control Wiring Terminal Block NOTE: Keep Control Wiring Terminal Block screws tight and the block itself secured tightly to AC Board. Otherwise, the FX can malfunction. The Terminal Block can be unplugged for easier wire installation and removal/ reinstallation of the FX. AUX OUTPUT (AUX+/AUX-): 12VDC at 0.7 amps (8.4 watts) maximum is available at these terminals; the AUX’s default is to drive cooling fans or the Turbo Fan. XCT+/XCT- are non- operational terminals (do not connect). INVERTER ON/OFF: allows for manual switch to control the FX (default operation is “ON”); controlled by the MATE when the installed jumper connecting these terminals is present. Jumper                                                  

AC AND DC GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

• Connect only to a grounded, permanent wiring system. Ensure there is only one neutral-ground connection in the system at any time. Some codes require this connection be made at the main panel only. • Some generators have their own neutral ground connection. If a generator is used, its neutral- ground connection will need to be disengaged for proper system operation. • For all installations, the negative battery conductor should be bonded to the grounding system at one (and only one) point in the system. • OutBack products are not designed for use in a positive grounded system. Please contact OutBack Technical Support for further information. The equipment ground on each is marked with this symbol: Box lug for grounding the FX chassis

FX PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

*NOTE: A GTFX requires an OutBack FLEXware Surge Protector per the UL 1741 listing. GT BATTERY TERMINAL COVERS • The caps are made of stiff plastic with a snap-on design; remove them carefully using a fl at-blade screwdriver inserted into the slots on the sides of each cover. • DC conduit may be required for exposed installations. • The DCA cover option (see below) allows conduit connection. • Always keep the battery terminal covers installed. AC CONDUIT PLATE* • AC conduit connects to the AC Con- duit Plate for installations which do not utilize an optional FW-ACA. DCA (DC CONDUIT ADAPTER) • Allows the connection of two-inch TSC (Trade Size Conduit) to the FX • Connects to OutBack’s FLEXware enclosures DCC (DC COMPARTMENT COVER) • Covers the DC terminal area and provides space to mount other components such as a DC current shunt • Can be used with or without the DCA • This is an optional accessory. FW-ACA (AC CONDUIT ADAPTER) • Extends the AC wiring compartment • Connects to OutBack’s FLEXware enclosures • Protects and secures fl exible cable with strain relief • Houses the FLEXware Surge Protector • Knockouts are intended for cables/strain relief • This is an optional accessory. TURBO FAN COVER • Included in place of a DCC on sealed FXs

• The FX Series Inverter/Charger is approved for indoor or enclosed protected mounting only.

• An FX must be secured with appropriate fasteners to a sturdy mounting surface capable of supporting its weight. It is easier for two people to install the FX due to its weight. • OutBack FXs can be mounted in any position, but they perform better in locations off ering plenty of air circulation. • NOTE: If using an OutBack FLEXware Mounting Plate, avoid large air gaps behind the plate which can result in louder mechanical noise during inverting/charging under heavy loads. • Due to the variance in other mounting methods, OutBack only endorses the use of FLEXware or previous versions of its mounting plate for installing the FX and associated system components using M6 X 20mm machine screws (stainless steel for FLEXware and self-tapping for older mounting plates), one per corner. Follow the instruction manual that comes with each mounting system. • If mounting the FX on other surfaces such as plywood, wall studs, or masonry, use appropriate fasteners to support approximately its weight. OutBack cannot be responsible for damage to the FX if it is attached with inadequate fasteners. • Install and secure each FX before attaching any wiring. • Insert appropriate fasteners at all four corners of the FX for a secure installation. • Weight varies from 56-62.6 pounds (25.40 - 28.395 kg) depending on the model 20.955 cm (8.25””) 32.03 cm (13”) 41.275 cm (16.25”)

Follow these steps to wire the FX to your system:

1. Shut all AC breakers off or remove any fuses before connecting any wiring. 2. Shut off all DC breakers, including the PV breakers. 3. With all power off , run lengths of 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) wire between the AC Wiring Compartment Board AC out terminals and suffi cient over current protection via an AC circuit breaker whose ampacity matches or exceeds the maximum AC input current of the FX model used in the system (see FX product specifi cations). The breaker should be installed inside of a metal chassis such as OutBack’s FLEXware series or an existing panel. 4. With the over current protection connected, run lengths of 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) wire between the AC Wiring Compartment Board AC IN terminals and the AC input breaker. The breaker should be installed inside of a metal chassis such as OutBack’s FLEXware series or an existing panel. The AC input hot conductor must be supplied through an AC branch-rated circuit breaker whose ampacity matches or exceeds the maximum AC input current of the FX model used in the system (see FX product specifi cations) While 60 amp over-current protection reduces the risk of fi re, for further reduction, do not connect a single FX to both hot legs of a 120-240 VAC AC load center having multi-wire (common neutral) branch circuits connected. Use either two FX Series Inverter/Chargers wired in a series confi guration or an FW-X240 Auto Transformer. NOTE: Connect Mobile FX equipment to an AC circuit with 30 amp maximum branch-circuit over-current protection (as per NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70). M WIRE CONNECTIONS NOTE: A system’s individual voltage requirements (120 single phase, 120/240 split phase, or 3-phase) as well as how each FX is to function all determine how the FXs are wired. Each FX must be wired to the logical leg or phase of the system. Each FX must be programmed or “stacked” according to this phase. Please see the FX and VFX Series Inverter/Charger Programming Manual before connecting any wires to or from the FX.

• Use crimped and sealed copper ring terminal lugs with 5/16” (.79 cm) hole or compression-type lug

to connect battery cables to DC terminals. Soldered cable lugs are also acceptable. • Use recommended cable sizes (see page 51) to reduce losses and ensure high performance of FX (smaller cables can reduce performance and possibly damage the unit). • Keep cables together (e.g., using a tie-wrap) as much as possible. • Ensure cables pass through the same knockout and conduit fi ttings to allow inductive currents to cancel. TORQUE REQUIREMENTS CONNECTION TORQUE IN POUNDS/Nm AC and PV breakers to 22 inch-lbs/2.48 Nm DC shunt to 15 foot-lbs/20.4 Nm DC battery connections to 10 foot-lbs/13.6 Nm FX’s DC terminals to 5 foot-lbs/3.38 Nm FX’s AC terminals to 30 inch-lbs/3.38 Nm Table 1 Torque Values for Installation

AC WIRING NOTES FOR THE NON-MOBILE FX

AC HOT OUT • AC hot output conductor (black) wire gauge must be sized to the breakers and loads. AC NEUTRAL OUT/AC NEUTRAL IN • Both neutral terminals are common with each other within the FX. • Only one neutral needs to connect at the terminal if a separate common neutral bus bar is installed. CHASSIS GROUND • Both CHASSIS GROUND terminals are common within the FX. • The AC input and AC output ground wires can connect to these terminals or one can be connected if a common ground bus bar is installed. AC HOT IN • The AC hot input conductor (black) must be supplied through a 60 amp maximum AC branch rated circuit breaker. • 6 AWG (.184” or 4.11 mm) wire is recommended for the FX’s AC transfer relay.                                                  

  

                                AC HOT OUT • Supplies the AC hot output conductors through a 30 amp maximum AC branch rated circuit breaker using 10 AWG (.102” or 2.59 mm) wire and connect to the AC AC NEUTRAL OUT/AC NEUTRAL IN • Connects the AC neutral input conductor to the AC NEUTRAL IN terminal. • Connects the AC neutral output conductor to the AC NEUTRAL OUT terminal. • These terminals are common in the Mobile FX only when an AC source is applied. • The NEUTRAL IN and NEUTRAL OUT conductors should not be common (connected in any way) prior to connection with a Mobile FX CHASSIS GROUND • Connects both the AC input and AC output ground conductors to the CHASSIS GROUND and NEU/GROUND BOND terminals. • If there is only one Mobile FX in the system, leave the copper bus (provided) installed between the CHASSIS GROUND and NEU/ GROUND BOND terminals. If there is more than one Mobile FX in the system, remove the copper bus from every Slave FX. AC HOT IN • The AC hot input conductor (black) must be supplied through a 30 amp maximum AC branch rated circuit breaker and connected to the AC HOT IN. • 10 AWG (.102” or 2.59 mm) wire is required for the FX’s AC transfer switch. AC WIRING NOTES FOR THE MOBILE FX M

A switch can be wired to the INVERTER

and ON/OFF terminals to manually control the FX XCT+/XCT- are not operational 12VDC at 0.7 amps (8.4 w) is available at the AUX+/AUX- terminals This six-position terminal block can be unplugged to make wiring easier and to simplify the removal and reinstallation of an FX. It must be securely and completely plugged in for proper FX functioning. Otherwise, operational errors can occur. INVERTER and ON/OFF • Replacing the pre-installed jumper (connecting the ON/OFF terminals) with a switch allows manual control of the FX. • When a jumper is installed in either location, the inverter will be ON. • When a switch is installed, the inverter is ON when the switch is closed and OFF when the switch is open. Control Wiring Terminal Block, side view INVERTER ON/OFF Jumper                                                   Control Wiring Terminal Block

Prior to installing an ON/OFF switch, if the FX’s AC output is off , check that the jumper is

present and well-connected before installing a switch. You want to confi rm the system is in good working order. Should you decide to install an OutBack MATE at a later date, bear in mind the installed switch overrides the control provided by the MATE if the switch is set to OFF. If the switch is set to ON, the MATE will function normally and control the inverter(s). • When a system is ordered with a MATE, the MATE handles all FX ON/OFF functions. AUXILIARY OUTPUT ( AUX + / AUX - ) The Auxiliary output system uses the AUX + and AUX – terminals. It is programmed through the MATE to do a variety of tasks: • The default use for these terminals drives the OutBack FX Turbo Kit or DC12-FAN fan for external cooling. NOTE: These terminals should not be connected to any type of DC load greater than 0.7 amps. • The FX includes internal electronic over-current protection for the AUX 12VDC output circuit which auto resets if it is short-circuited. No additional fuses are required. • For automatic or advanced generator start functions, the Auxiliary Output can drive a 12V automo- tive relay for the two-wire starting circuitry of a generator. OutBack recommends a good quality gold-plated relay. NOTE: (1) The FLEXnet DC comes with an internal relay for this use. (2) OutBack Power Systems does not support three-wire start generators; however, a three-wire to two-wire conversion kit is available from an electronic control manufacturer such as Atkinson Electronics (www.atkinson.com) (3) Either the MATE or the FLEXnet DC can be programmed for Auto-GenStart (please refer to component manuals for more information). XCT + / XCT - These terminals are not operational at this time.

RTS, MATE/HUB WIRING

• RJ-11 modular jack connects RTS, the optional external battery temperature sensor.* • RJ-45 jack connects MATE or HUB to FX using CAT5 cable.** *When a HUB is used, plug the RTS into the Master FX, which should be plugged into HUB’s Port 01. The RTS cable is folded and routed under the AC Wiring Compartment’s Lexan cover, fi tting into a small indentation in the aluminum casting between the battery terminals.

SINGLE FX SYSTEM

• All non-Mobile FX AC wiring must handle 60 amps AC or more. • A 60A input breaker must be used for a non-Mobile FX and a 30A input breaker for a Mobile FX. • A single FX can continuously power 2.0kW to 3.6kW of loads depending on which model is used.

SERIES or SERIES/PARALLEL DUAL FX CONFIGURATION

• This system can continuously power between 4.0kW and 7.2kW of loads depending on which model is used. • All non-Mobile FX AC wiring must handle 60AAC or more. • A Mobile FX requires 30A input breakers. NOTE: • Stacking FXs in series/parallel means there are FXs directly connected to two separate 120VAC output legs. These legs produce 240VAC between them (the series portion). This allows all of the FXs to power either of the 120VAC output legs (the parallel portion). Series/parallel stacking requires an FW-X240 Auto Transformer and must use “OutBack” stacking programming. • When the FXs *are connected in series for 120/240 VAC, the FW-X240 Auto Transformer can be connected to the AC output; both FXs are then available on either 120VAC output circuit. This allows higher effi ciency and better performance as heavy 120VAC loads are powered by both FXs. The FW-X240 Auto Transformer also allows the Master to power loads on either 120VAC output circuit with the Slave FX off , reducing idle power consumption and improving system effi ciency. • The Slave FX must be programmed through the MATE as a “Classic Slave’” (series stacking, no FW- X240 Auto Transformer) or as “OB Slave L2” (series/parallel stacking, FW-X240 included)*. The FX connected to Port 01 of the HUB is always the Master (1-2ph MASTER) *Grid-Tie FXs cannot be used with the FW-X240 Auto Transformer. GT

PARALLELED DUAL FX SYSTEM

• All AC wiring from the AC source and to the AC loads must collectively handle 100 amps AC or more. • All other AC wiring capacity must equal 60 amps AC (Mobile FX units must handle 30 amps AC). • A paralleled dual FX system can continuously power 4.0 Kw to 7.2kW of loads depending on which model is used. NOTE: Program the lowest-installed FX as Master (1-2ph MASTER) and the second FX as an OutBack L1 Slave (OB SLAVE L1) Parallel/Dual System with Two FXs GT Grid-Tie FXs cannot be used with this configuration.

SERIES/PARALLEL QUAD FX SYSTEM

• All AC wiring from the AC source and to the AC loads must collectively handle 120 amps AC or more. • All other AC wiring must handle a capacity of 60 amps AC (Mobile FX AC wiring must handle 30 amps). • This system can continuously power up to 14.4kW of loads depending on which model is used. • Connecting more power than the continuous rating of the FX may cause breakers to trip or the FX to shut off its AC output. • A HUB, MATE, and FW-X240 must be connected to successfully stack these FXs in series/parallel. NOTES: • Program the lowest-installed FX as the Master (1-2ph MASTER), the fi rst Slave as an Outback L1 Slave (OB Slave L1), and the second and third Slaves as OutBack L2 Slaves (OB SLAVE L2) as shown in the MATE User’s Manual. • An FW-X240 Auto Transformer must be used when three or more FXs are series stacked. When the FXs are connected in series for 120/240VAC, the FW-X240 Auto Transformer can be connected to the two AC output legs to provide all FX capacity to either of the 120VAC output circuits. This allows higher effi ciency and better performance as heavy 120VAC loads are powered by all the FXs. The FW-X240 Auto Transformer also allows the Master to power loads on either of the 120VAC output circuits with the Slave off . This reduces the idle power consumption and improves the system effi ciency. PARALLELED QUAD FX SYSTEM • All AC wiring from the AC source and to the AC loads must collectively handle 200 amps AC or more. • All other non-Mobile FX Series Inverter/Charger models’ AC wiring must handle a capacity of 60 amps AC. • This system can continuously power up to 14.4kW of loads depending on which model is used. • Connecting more power than the continuous rating of the FX may cause breakers to trip or the FX to shut off its AC output. • Refer to Parallel/Dual System drawing on page 28 and expand accordingly. NOTES: Program the lowest-installed FX as Master (1-2ph MASTER) and the three remaining FXs as OutBack L1 Slaves (OB SLAVE L1) GT Grid-Tie FXs cannot be used with this configuration. GT Grid-Tie FXs cannot be used with this configuration.

3-PHASE FX SYSTEM

• This system produces 120VAC per phase and 208VAC from phase to phase. There can only be one FX per phase on a 3-phase system. • The non-Mobile AC wiring from the AC source and to the AC loads must handle 60 amps AC. • All other non-Mobile AC wiring must handle a capacity of 60 amps AC; Mobile must handle 30 amps AC. • This system can power continuously up to 10.8kW of loads depending on which model is used. • Connecting more power than the continuous rating of the FX may cause breakers to trip or the FX to shut off its AC output. • The jumper in the HUB must be moved for 3-phase confi guration (please see the HUB Installation and User Guide). NOTE: Program the bottom FX as Master (3ph MASTER) and the two lower FXs as 3-phase Slaves (3ph SLAVE). Keep the phases in order: phase one is connected to the FX programmed L1; phase two is connected to L2; and phase three to L3 (or phases A, B, and C to inverters A, B, and C). GT Grid-Tie FXs cannot be used with this configuration.

MOBILE FX INFORMATION

When a Mobile system has the option of using either an onboard generator or the utility grid or shore power (see next diagram) as their AC input: • Both the AC “Hot” and AC “Neutral” lines must be connected to the appropriate source. • A connection can be made using a double-pole, double-throw switch (currently unavailable from OutBack, but available from electrical component suppliers) which has one connection each for AC hot and AC neutral. • This switch must be rated to handle the system’s maximum AC voltage and AC current. M The Mobile FX’s AC input consists of a Hot (H), Neutral (N) and Neu/Ground Bond (G). The Mobile FX has an internal “Ground-Switching Contact” that will open when it connects to an AC input.

Voltages outside of this range may damage AC loads connected to the FXs AC output terminals. All FX Series Inverter/Chargers 90 – 150VAC (VAC = volts AC) MAXIMUM AC INPUT CURRENT An AC input source connected to the FX supplies power for two separate internal AC circuits – the AC transfer switch and the battery charging system. The AC transfer switch transfers the AC input power to the AC loads. The FX’s battery charger will “back off ” if the total AC loads—including the charger— exceed the AC input current limit (default setting is 28AAC). This “Input Limit” can be adjusted using the MATE to avoid overloading a generator or trip a circuit breaker. If your generator cannot produce 28AAC or you are connecting to an AC input source that has a breaker that is rated for less than 30AAC, please refer to the FX and VFX Series Inverter/Charger Programming Manual to change this setting. All “Mobile” FXs 30AAC per FX (AAC = Amps AC) All 120VAC FXs 60AAC per FX (AAC = Amps AC) MAXIMUM CURRENT FOR BATTERY CHARGER Due to heat restraints, the FX limits incoming AC current to recharge the battery. Please refer to the FX and VFX Series Inverter/Charger Programming Manual to adjust this setting. The battery charger has an effi ciency of better than 80%.
