FX SYSTEM CONFIGURATION - SINGLE FX SYSTEM
The FX System Configuration section shows diagrams of some typical system configurations using the “Export” FX. There are
diagrams for a single FX, two FX’s in parallel, four FX’s in parallel, and a 3-phase system. The diagrams show the proper breakers and
wiring for the AC side of the installations as well as connections to the HUB or MATE. Also included is information on the maximum
continuous power of the systems and proper DC breaker sizes. This information is dependent on whether the FX’s are sealed or
vented and on the system’s battery voltage.

Single FX System
The following diagram illustrates a typical single FX installation. For this type of installation, use of OutBack Power Systems PS2
system is recommended. The bypass kit for the PS2 system is an AC-IOB-30 using two CBI breakers with a bypass mechanism.
Please specify CBI breakers when ordering this bypass kit. The single FX system will require an additional CBI 30 amp breaker for the
AC input. Additional breakers can be purchased and installed in the PS2AC if necessary. All AC wiring must handle a capacity of 30
amps AC or more. A single FX system can continuously power 2-3KW of loads depending on which model is used. Connecting more
power than the continuous rating of the FX may cause breakers to trip or the FX to shut off its AC output. A MATE must be connected
to adjust any parameters or to display any meters. Once the FX has been programmed using the MATE, the MATE can be
disconnected. The programming will be saved within the FX’s non-volatile memory even if the FX is completely shut down.

NOTES:
The AC OUTPUT NEUTRAL IS NOT BONDED TO THE CHASSIS OR THE GROUND TERMINAL of the FX system. This connection
is to be made by the installer either in the AC service entrance or within the AC load distribution panel of the electrical system.

The AC input, AC output and DC terminals are isolated from the metal chassis of the FX. Proper grounding of these circuits and the
chassis of the FX is the responsibility of the installer.
