The SELL menu is used to set the functions that control the process of selling power back to the utility grid.  This menu only pertains to 
Grid-Tied FX’s.  These functions include setting the voltage at which the FX sells back to the utility grid, setting the window in which the 
Grid-Tie function operates, and to enable or disable the Grid-Tie function.  The default values enable the FX to sell back to the utility 
grid after the FX has completed a charge cycle.  To disable this charge cycle, press the <AC IN> “hot” button four times, press 
<BULK>

, press <STOP> and then press <OK>.  The FX waits 5 minutes after it has accepted the utility grid as an AC source and must 

be above the “sell RE volts” (found in this menu) to start selling.

Once the password has been correctly entered, the ADV - CHOOSE CATEGORY: screen is 
displayed.  Selecting <PG2> shows a second screen of categories.   
 
 

Selecting <PG3> shows a third screen of categories.   

 

 

Selecting <PG4> shows a fourth screen of categories.   

 
 

Selecting <SELL> allows adjustment of the Grid-tie and selling set points and operation.   
 
 
 

 
The SELL RE VOLTS (RE = Renewable Energy) screen allows the user to set the voltage at 
which they would like to sell battery power back to the utility grid.  If the battery voltage is above 
the voltage shown on this screen and the FX isn’t charging then the FX will sell power back to 
the utility grid.  This setting has a range between 10.0 vdc and 15.0 vdc in 0.1vdc increments. 

The GRID TIE WINDOW screen controls the voltage and frequency windows that the grid-tie 
function operates in.  If the FX repeatedly disconnects from the utility grid this value may need to 
be changed.  This function should not, I repeat, should not be changed without consulting 
OutBack Power Systems first.   

The GRID TIE AUTHORITY screen allows the user to turn on or off the selling function of the FX.  
When the screen displays “GridTie” (default), the FX will sell power under the correct conditions.  
Pressing DEC will change “GridTie” to “No Sell” and the selling function will be disabled.  
Pressing INC will change the display back from “No Sell” to “GridTie”. 

Selecting TOP returns the user to the top of the ADV/FX/SELL menu section.  Selecting ADV 
returns you to the advanced screen to allow selection of another product connected to the MATE.  
Selecting MAIN returns the display to the MAIN screen.
