MX60 Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Charge Controller
The OutBack MX60 Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controller enables your PV system to achieve its highest possible performance.
Rated for up to 60 amps of DC output current, the OutBack MX60 can be used with battery systems from 12 to 60 vdc with PV open circuit voltage as high as 150 vdc. The MX60's setpoints are fully adjustable to allow use with virtually any battery type, chemistry and charging profile.
The OutBack MX60 allows you to use a higher output voltage PV array with a lower voltage battery - such as charging a 24 vdc battery with a 48 vdc PV array. This reduces wire size and power loss from the PV array to the battery/inverter location and can maximize the performance of your PV system.
The OutBack MX60 comes standard with an easy to use and understand display of the PV system’s performance.
All of the MX60's status information is displayed on the large four line, 80 character, built-in 3.1" (8 cm) backlit LCD screen. Monitoring your solar array's performance is easy because of included data logging system that automatically records the last 64 days of system operation. OutBack's network communication system allows your MX60 to communicate with the rest of your OutBack system, eliminating multiple product interaction problems and allowing remote monitoring via the OutBack MATE display up to 1000 feet / 300 meters away. The MATE also includes an optoisolated RS232 port for connection to a PC computer for data logging and system monitoring.
