MATE and MATE-B
Remote Monitor and Control
The OutBack MATE is a complete system controller and display for both
the OutBack FX2000 inverter/charger and MX60 MPPT PV charge controller. It
provides a display of the operation as well as allows control and adjustment
of the setpoints. The OutBack Mate also coordinates the operation of the
entire system to maximize performance and to prevent multiple products from
conflicting.
A single OutBack MATE is able to connect to multiple FX2000
inverter/charges, MX60 MPPT PV charge controllers and any other OutBack
power conversion and control products offered in the future. A maximum of
ten OutBack products will be able to be connected to a single MATE via CAT 5
/ ethernet type cabling with 8 wire RJ45 modular connectors and the OutBack
HUB communication manager.
The OutBack MATE includes a 4 line backlit LCD display with 80
alphanumeric characters. This allows multiple measurements to be displayed
at the same time and reduces the amount of abbreviations required,
simplifying the operation and reducing confusion. All of the programmed
setpoints are stored in permanent memory to eliminate the need to reprogram
the system after a shutdown or battery replacement.
The OutBack MATE also includes a built-in real-time clock and
calendar which allows programming of the inverter operation based on the
time of day and even day of the week. This can be used to allow the system
to work with time-of-day power rates or to limit a generator's run time to a
specific period of the day or week.
The OutBack MATE also includes an opto-isolated RS232 port with a DB9
jack for connection to the serial port of a PC computer.
OutBack is working with several third-party developers to offer
Windows-based software programs for data logging and graphical display of
the systems operation and performance. This PC computer software will be
available separately and is expected soon.

Multi-Stage Battery Charging (5
Stage)
- Bulk
- Absorb
- Float
- Silent
- Equalized
|
Batteries are a key
component in backup and off-grid systems, often serving as the only
energy storage device. To guarantee that they function properly it
is important that your batteries are maintained. A chief part of
this maintenance is proper charging. Your batteries should always be
maintained above a 50% level of charge and receive a complete
recharge once a month to ensure operation at peak performance.
Prolonged use of the battery below a 50% state of charge will
adversely affect the long-term health of the battery and can result
in premature failure.
The multistage charging process
( 5 stages) uses several regulation stages to allow fast
recharging of the battery energy storage system while ensuring a
long battery life, high performance and efficient operation of the |
Charge Controller,
the batteries enter the (3) FLOAT stage where they are given
a maintenance charge until there is no excess renewable energy. The
FX or VFX inverter/charger will go into (4) SILENT mode where
the charger turns off until the battery voltage drops to the
“re-float” setting. At this point the inverter/charger initiates the
maintenance float charge. This method reduces fuel and utility
consumption.
It should be noted that the temperature of your batteries has
an impact on the charging process. The OutBack RTS should be used to
monitor this. In higher ambient temperatures, the battery charging
regulation settings will be automatically reduced to prevent
overcharging of the batteries. Conversely, in lower
ambienttemperature conditions, the regulation |
settings will be increased
to ensure complete recharging of the batteries. Batteries are
composed of a group of individual cells. Through normal use, the
charge of each individual cell will not be equal to the other cells.
To address this, your batteries should be (5) EQUALIZED
either once each month or once every few months depending on usage.
During the equalization charge the electrolyte in the battery is
stirred up by gas bubbles, which help to create an equal mixture of
water and acid. Simultaneously the full cells are overcharged which
allows the low cells to “catch up” and all of the active material in
the battery to be reconverted to its charged state. Depending on
usage, the hardened battery plate material that is no longer active
in the battery-sulfation can also be reduced by an equalization
charge. |
overall system. The
charging process begins with the (1) BULK stage, where
maximum current is sent to the batteries until the target “absorb”
voltage is reached and the absorb stage of the charge begins.
During (2) ABSORB, the charger provides the batteries with
the just enough current to hold at the set voltage for a preset
amount of time. Following this cycle, the charging system changes
between available OutBack charging products. Using a FLEXmax Series

amp dual breaker in a steal enclosure, the PSX-240 is ready to install in
your
custom application. Use for 120 or 240 VAC 60 Hz systems only.
Powering 240 volt items like deep well pumps with a single 120 volt inverter
is possible
thanks to the PSX-240’s step-up capability. Its step-down feature allows you
to charge your batteries
with a 240 volt generator through
a single 120 volt inverter. The PSX-240’s ability to balance the output of
series
stacked inverter/chargers makes it a critical item when using the OutBack
stacking 120/240 VAC configuration.
The FW-X240 is also available without the enclosure, for installation inside
the FW500-AC or FW1000-AC enclosures.
