RTS, MATE/HUB WIRING
• RJ-11 modular jack connects RTS, the optional
external battery temperature sensor.*
• RJ-45 jack connects MATE or HUB to FX using CAT5
cable.**
*When a HUB is used, plug the RTS into the Master
FX, which should be plugged into HUB’s Port 01.
The RTS cable is folded and routed under the AC
Wiring Compartment’s Lexan cover, fi tting into a
small indentation in the aluminum casting between
the battery terminals. ONLY USE THE OUTBACK RTS;
OTHER BRANDS YIELD INCORRECT READINGS.
**If the system has multiple FXs and/or OutBack
Charge Controllers, a HUB is required.

WARN(ING) Screens
• acin freq too high: AC source is above 66 Hz (upper limit) and will be dropped if frequency gets much higher
• acin freq too low: AC source is under 54 Hz (lower limit) and will be dropped if frequency gets much lower
• acin voltage too high: AC source’s voltage is over 140 VAC (default limit) and risks loss of FX connection
• acin voltage too low: AC source’s voltage is under 108 VAC (default limit) and risks loss of FX connection
• acin input current exceeds max: AC loads are drawing more current than the rating of the FX allows
• temperature sensor fault: an internal FX temperature sensor is malfunctioning
• internal comm. error detected: there is a communication problem between the MATE and the FX
• internal fan failure detected: the FX’s internal cooling fan is not operating properly
• airtemp: displays a numeric value representing the air temperature around the FX*
• fettemp: displays a numeric value representing the temperature of the FETs (Field Eff ect Transistors)*
• captemp: displays a numeric value representing the temperature of the ripple capacitors*
*These values are used for troubleshooting purposes. The higher the numerical value, the cooler the temperature.
