WARNING - WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL OPERATION. Design the battery enclosure to prevent accumulation and concentration of hydrogen gas in “pockets” at the top of the enclosure. Vent the battery compartment from the highest point to the outside. A sloped lid can also be used to direct the fl ow of hydrogen to the vent opening. CAUTION - To reduce risk of injury, charge only deep-cycle lead acid, lead antimony,

NOTES • An optional battery Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS) is recommended for accurate battery recharging (only one RTS is needed for multiple OutBack Series Inverter/Chargers and MX60 units when an OutBack HUB and a MATE are parts of the system). When one RTS is used, it must be connected to the component plugged into the Port 1 of the HUB. • AUX modes include powering a relay, LED indicator, and Piezo-buzzer or brushless fan. • The OutBack MATE can display a single MX60 or multiple MX60

STATUS SCREEN The STATUS Screen displays system information. See page 67 for detailed information of the dif- ferent Operational Modes. The optional OutBack MATE displays MX STATUS screens for convenient distant viewing from the installation location of the MX60. Please see page 71 to view the MX screens displayed on the MATE. The PV voltage will slowly rise to the battery voltage level even when the PV breaker is off – this is normal as the PV capacitor charges up. PV Input Voltage Batter
