FLEXmax controllers come standard with a 4-line, 80-character backlit LCD screen that displays solar system performance with a 128 day history and is also used for programming and monitoring the system’s operation. For larger systems, OutBack’s MATE series of system controllers enables monitoring of up to 8 FM controllers from up to 300 feet away. The MATE also includes an opto-isolated RS-232 port for connection to a PC or laptop for data logging and system monitoring.

Both controllers have a programmable AUX relay that can be used for control functions such as battery enclosure fans, generator starting, or load control. The AUX output is 200 mA at 12 VDC. Use it to power a separate relay with a 12 VDC coil if you need to control more amperage or to control voltages (AC or DC) other than 12 VDC.
