MOUNTING
All FX’s can be mounted in any position. Better performance will be achieved if it is mounted in a location which allows for air to
circulate around the exterior of the casting. Locating the FX in a cool location will ensure the highest efficiency and power capacity.
The following drawings provide the mounting and overall dimensions of the FX with the DCC, ACA and DCA attached. All VFXs come
with the DCC and all FX “T”s come with the Turbo. The ACA and the DCA must be ordered separately. The first dimension is inches
and the second value in parenthesis is the metric value in millimeters.
Depth out from Wall / Height up from Shelf: 11.87 inches (301 mm) / 12.87 INCHES (327mm) with Turbo installed
For installations where the FX may be exposed to water spray a sealed FX must be used. A sealed FX that may be exposed to water
spray should be mounted either with the base down (shelf mounting) or with the AC wiring compartment facing down (wall mounting).
This will minimize the entry of water into the AC wiring compartment. If mounted with the base down, water cannot be allowed to
accumulate around the FX’s base. There is a drainage system on the base of the FX to dispel condensation. If submerged, water can
enter this drain and cause failure.
The ACA can be used to connect the FX to the PS2AC, PS4AC or 2” conduit. The side of the ACA can be used to add an AC outlet
and one or two of OutBack’s AC rated OBDC circuit breakers (up to 70 amps max). When these items are added to the FX, it should
only be used in an area that is protected from rain.
The DCA can be used to connect the FX to the PS2DC, PS4DC or 2” conduit.
