Important Safety Instructions - Outback Power Systems MX60 Installation And User Manual

Introduction
Your OutBack PV MX60 Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controller enables your PV system to achieve its
highest possible performance.
Rated for up to 60 amps of DC output current, your MX60 can be used with battery systems from 12 to 60 vdc with PV
open circuit voltage as high as 125 vdc. The MX60's setpoints are fully adjustable to allow use with virtually any battery
type, chemistry and charging profile.
Your MX60 allows you to use a higher output voltage PV array with a lower voltage battery - such as charging a 24 vdc
battery with a 48 vdc PV array. This reduces wire size and power loss from the PV array to the battery/inverter location
and can maximize the performance of your PV system.
Your MX60 comes standard with an easy to use and understand display of the PV system's performance. The four line,
80 character, backlit LCD display is also used for programming and monitoring of the system's operation.
Your MX60 can also be connected to the OutBack MATE system controller and display to allow monitoring of up to eight
MX60 controllers from a distant location - up to 300 feet away. The MATE also includes an opto-isolated RS232 port for
connection to a PC computer for data logging and system monitoring.
A built-in Auxiliary Output Control System can be used to control a secondary control circuit, relay or contactor. It can be
used to control a diversion load, low battery disconnect, load management power shedding, or other functions.

Important Safety Instructions

A. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains important instructions for the MX60 PV MPPT Charge
Controller that shall be followed during installation and maintenance of the charge controller.
B. Torque the terminal block and ground terminals to 30 inch pounds / 4Nm
C. Use a minimum of 6AWG copper conductors only suitable for a minimum of 75 degrees C. The terminal block will
accept up to 4 AWG conductors. The ground terminal will accept up to 2 AWG conductors.
D. This symbol is used to identify chassis ground.
E. This charge controller is intended to charge lead acid battery systems, sealed or vented with nominal voltages of 12,
24, 32, 36, 48, 54 or 60 volts DC. For other battery chemistries, contact the battery manufacturer for specific charge
control settings and methodology.
F. The MX60 PV MMPT Charge Controller is for indoor use only.
