- Page 2 Maximum Power Point of the array. The MX60 can be used with battery systems from 12v to 60v DC with up to a 72v nominal PV array. The MX60 set points are fully adjustable to allow use with virtually any battery type, chemistry, and charging profile.
- Page 3 POWERING UP THE CHARGE CONTROLLER (This procedure is also used to reset the MX60 to factory default settings) Begin by checking that the PV array and Battery wires are securely connected at the 4 Position Terminal Block of the MX60 charge controller.

Page 4: Status Screen
The MX60 will reboot to the Power-Up screen showing the selected nominal battery System MX60 voltage at the upper-right corner. STATUS SCREEN Congratulations! You have successfully set up your MX60 charge controller for your nominal battery voltage.

Note: It is recommended that the Outback Battery Temperature Sensor be installed in the Master of the FX/VFX/GTFX/GVFX series inverter, MX60 and HUB installation. 6/12...
- Page 7 GRID-TIE APPLICATION with GTFX SERIES INVERTERS The MX60 charge controller has a grid-tie (FX-GT) mode that allows the GTFX/GVFX series inverter to manage the Absorb and Float charger regulation set points of the MX60 charge controller. The FX-GT mode is only applicable with GTFX/GVFX series inverter and HUB installation.

Page 8: Multi-Stage Battery Charging
This stage reduces the charging voltage to prevent overcharging of the batteries A Float charge follows after the Absorb charge is completed. The MX60 will not re-initiate another Bulk charge if the Float voltage set point is not sustained, however, it will continue to charge the battery until the Float voltage set point is achieved. -
Page 9: Understanding The Various Operational Modes
MPPT The MX60 is in Maximum Power Point Tracking mode and is trying to get the battery voltage to reach the Absorb or Float voltage set point in the Bulk or Float charge stages. If the MX60 is in the Bulk charge stage, the Charge Timer (ChgT), will count up to the max Absorb time. - Page 10 Low Light / Snoozing During the initial sweep, (see Wakeup and Sweeping), if it is determined that it is too late (or too early), in the day, the MX60 will display Low Light for a few seconds, then display Snoozing for 5 minutes, which is a form or sleeping.

Page 11: Troubleshooting Guide
1. Is battery voltage greater than the Absorb voltage set point (compensated Absorb voltage)? If yes, the MX60 will not wake up since the battery voltage is at/above the Absorb target voltage set point 2. Is the PV voltage greater than the battery voltage by at least 2 volts? The PV voltage has to be at least 2 volts greater than the battery voltage for the initial wakeup. - Page 12 When the current limit set point is achieved the MX60 will continue sweeping to maintain the targeted current limit 2. What is the sweep interval set point? A short sweep interval time will cause the MX60 to sweep frequently. A sweep interval of 7 to10 minutes is recommended MX60 Battery Temperature Compensated Voltage 1.
