Figure 4 Mounting the Charge Controller
The FLEXmax is designed to attach
directly to OutBack's FLEXware 500 DC
and FLEXware 1000 DC enclosures
(FLEXware 500 shown) or attach to its
own charge controller brackets (FW-CCB,
FW-CCB2, and FW-CCB2T).
Mounting directly to a FLEXware DC
enclosure:
1. Remove the fan cover and bottom
cover from the FLEXmax.
2. Insert a #10 X 3/8" sheet metal screw
in the top hole on the side of the DC
enclosure. This will act as a hanging
screw for the keyhole slot at the top
center of the FLEXmax.
3. Hang the FLEXmax on the top screw
and line up its bottom two screw
holes with the holes on the enclosure.
4. Insert a #10 x 3/8" sheet metal screw
through each hole and tighten
against the enclosure (screws are
included with each DC enclosure).
5. Keep the cover off until wiring is
completed.
The conduit nipple assembly creates a
sealed connection from the FLEXmax to
the enclosure.
Mounting to Plywood
Use 1-5/8" wood screws to secure the
FLEXmax at the top slotted holes and
other interior lower holes as needed,
making sure the unit is straight and level.
