FX
Sealed Inverter/Chargers
Th e FX series is designed to survive in
environments that would normally destroy
other inverter/chargers. Protection for
internal components is provided by our
die-cast aluminum chassis with a powder
coated fi nish to prevent corrosion. Internal
and external cooling fi ns allow for passive
heat transfer, enabling peak operating
effi ciencies as high as 93% and looking cool
while doing it. Water and small particles
are kept out through the generous use of
gaskets and 0-ring seals on all seams and
openings. A protective conformal coating
on all circuit boards provides the fi nal line of
defense against corrosion. Th e now standard
externally mounted “TURBO” cooling system
improves performance in hot conditions.
VFX
Vented Inverter/Chargers
Th e VFX series is designed for more protected installations. By
utilizing an effi cient active cooling design, the VFX models are
available with AC output up to
3.6 kilowatts. Our tough die-
cast aluminum chassis
physically protects the
internal components
while the air intake
includes an easily
cleaned fi lter, which
allows for ventilation
while also keeping
bugs and other debris
out. All circuit boards
are conformal coated to
prevent corrosion from
airborne moisture in
humid conditions. Th e now
standard DC wiring cover
(DCC) protects the DC
terminals and battery cables
from damage.
OutBack inverter/chargers are the next
generation in advanced power man-
agement. Each is a DC to AC
sinewave inverter, battery
charger and AC transfer
switch housed within
a tough die-cast
aluminum chassis.
Just like the local utility
grid, the inverter produces
true sinewave AC electric-
ity for your stand-alone or
backup power needs. Com-
puters, TVs and pumps are
just some of the examples of
modern electronics that last
longer and run better when
powered with true sinewave
electricity from an OutBack
inverter. Starting up your air
conditioning, washing machine or
well pump is worry-free because of
our high surge power capability.
Batteries and generators are the costly
consumables when using inverters
to generate electricity. Th e integrated
smart battery charger uses multiple
stages to perform quick recharging
while prolonging battery life, saving
your batteries and generator from
unnecessary wear. Automatic switching
between AC power sources is seamless
due to an AC transfer switch that reacts
in less than 16 milliseconds.
Unique networked communication
is built into all OutBack products pro-
viding complete integration. Expanding
your system with your growing power
needs is as simple as adding additional
inverters with modular architecture.
Further fl exibility is provided with the
ability to be connected at any time in ei-
ther parallel, series or three-phase power
confi gurations. Industry leading OutBack
reliability is achieved through simplifi ed
design and rugged construction.
