Battery Charging; Maintenance - OutBack Power GTFX Series Programming Manual

BATTERY ChARGING INSTRUCTIONS
Keeping your battery bank energized is very important. Although a battery bank can last for many
years if properly cared for, it can also be ruined in a short period of time if neglected.
Battery Charging Setpoints
To preserve your batteries always follow your battery manufacturer' s recommendations using the
following information:
• Absorb Voltage
• Float Voltage
• Equalize Voltage
• Recommended Depth-of-Discharge (DOD) of the batteries
These Absorb, Float, and Equalize voltage set points should be programmed into the FX through the
MATE (see MATE User Manual).

MAINTENANCE

Please contact OutBack Power Systems Technical Support for any FX repairs due to malfunctions or
damage. For routine, user-approved maintenance, please remember these points:
• Disconnect all circuit breakers and related electrical connections before doing any cleaning or
adjustments.
• Solar modules may produce hazardous voltages when exposed to light; cover them with opaque material
before servicing any connected equipment.
• If a remote generator start system is used, disable the automatic starting circuit while servicing it to
prevent the generator from starting while servicing.
