- Outback Power Maximum Power Point Tracking Charge Controller Model MX60 PV MPPT Installation, Programming and User's Manual

MX60 Battery Temperature Compensated Voltage

• Only the OutBack RTS (remote temperature sensor) can be used with the MX60.

• The battery voltage can rise above the ABSORB and FLOAT voltage set points if the battery tem-

perature is < 77° F or fall below the ABSORB and FLOAT voltage if the battery temperature is

> 77° F.

• Why does the MX60 show “BatTmpErr” on the STATUS screen?

 The RTS is faulty or damaged. Disconnect the RTS from the RTS jack to resume

normal operation.

MX60 Internal Fan

• The internal fan will only run when the internal temperature has reached approximately 115° F.

The internal fan will run as needed. In the MISC Menu, the fan will run if and only if the value of

PCB is lower than the value 350. Note that the value 350 represents a temperature count value; it

does not itself equal 350° F.

MX60 is beeping

• When the MX60 is in “Extended Play” mode, the array is very hot, and the MPP is close to the bat-

tery voltage, beeping can occur. To disable the Extended Play feature, go to the MAIN Menu and

press and hold the #1 soft key until the MX60’s software version appears on the screen. Con-

tinue pressing the #1 soft key and press the #3 soft key at the same time until “X O ” displays on

the screen. To reactivate Extended Play, repeat these steps and hold the #3 soft key until “X On”

displays. Extended Play is meant to optimize the performance of a hot array, but isn’t critical to

e cient MX60 operations.
