The Outback FM80 can be used with battery systems from 12 to 60 VDC and with PV open circuit voltages as high as 140 VDC.  FM80 setpoints are fully adjustable to allow use of different battery types, chemistry and charging profiles.  Also, the FM80 allows using a higher PV voltage to charging a 12 volt or 24 volt batteries with a 48 VDC PV array.  This allows reduced wire size and minimizes power loss from PV arrays.

The Flexmax80 (FM80) is the newest Outback charge controller using MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking).  MPPT technology increases power yields up to 30%.  The FM80 can operate at a full 80 amps and array size up to 11,250 watts when charging a 12 volt battery, 2,500 watts when charging at 24 volts and 5,000 when charging 48 volts.

Both FM60 and FM80 controllers include an easy to use and read display showing PV system performance.  The 4-line, 80 character display can also be used for programming and monitoring system operation.  These controllers can be connected to the Outback MATE system controller which allows monitoring of up to 8 FM60 controllers from a distance up to 300 feet.  Further, the MATE includes an RS232 port for PC connection for easy data logging and system monitoring.
