Outback Power Systems GTFX Battery Charger User 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 Services for any FX repairs due to malfunctions or
damage. For routine, user-approved maintenance:
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 start system is used, disable the automatic starting circuit while servicing it to prevent
starting while servicing.
