The Outback FM60 can be used with battery systems from 12 to 60 VDC and with PV open circuit voltages as high as 140 VDC.  FM60 setpoints are fully adjustable to allow use of different battery types, chemistry and charging profiles.  Also, the FM60 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. Array sizes up to 707 watts can be used to charge a 12 volt battery, 1500 watt arrays can charge 24 volts and 3000 watts can charge 48 volt batteries.  Maximum currents up to 60 amps.

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.
