OutBack Power FXR Series Installation Manual

FXR and VFXR International Series
Inverter/Charger Installation Manual
AS4777.2:2015 Compliance Addendum

Purpose

This document describes the operation and parameters associated with AS4777 compliance for
24- and 48-volt FXR international series inverters. It depicts the application of labels for installer
compliance with this requirement. It also lists previously unrecorded specifications and requirements.

Firmware Requirements

FXR firmware must be revision 001.006.0046 or greater. An inverter .GIP file (grid support profile)
must be installed. The available files are 4777Z1R1 (for Australia) or 4777Z2R1 (for New Zealand).
Also see the FXR and VFXR Inverter/Charger Installation Manual Firmware Addendum. This and the
firmware package can be downloaded by going to the FXR Series link in the Firmware Update section
of www.outbackpower.com. Once there, click FXR Series 001.006.046 Grid Support Firmware.

Hardware Requirements

The use of a DRED (Demand Response Enabling Device) is required in AS4777.
•
This OutBack product complies with DRM-0 (Demand Response Mode Level 0). This allows the utility to
issue an "operate the disconnection device" signal, forcing the inverter to disconnect itself from the grid.
•
This OutBack product does not comply with the other, optional, Demand Response Modes.
•
Two labels are supplied. To comply with the requirements for DRM-0, these labels must be applied in
the following locations.
The I O /O jumper must be removed after the new firmware is installed.
NVERTER N FF

Hardware Operation

When the utility sends the "operate the disconnection device" signal, the DRED closes the CL/0
and RG/0 connections. This is an AC DROP command to the inverter. It takes precedence
regardless of any USE commands from the MATE3 or another system display such as OPTICS RE.
(The DRED and the system display must show a USE signal before it will be allowed to reconnect.
A USE signal from the DRED is an open circuit on the two wires.) See next page.
