Installing an OutBack HUB
An OutBack HUB allows the FX Series Inverter/Chargers, MX60 Charge Controllers, and MATE to
communicate with each other. It attaches to the outside of the FW500-AC (hardware included
with the HUB).

A complete FLEXware 500 System consists of the following in addition to the FW500-AC
and FW500-DC:
• FLEXware Mounting Plate (FW-MP)
• two FX Series Inverter/Chargers
• AC Conduit Adapter (ACA) and a DC Conduit Adapter (DCA), which connect each FX to the
FW500-AC and FW500-DC
• MX Charge Controller(s) (normally part of this system) and mounting brackets
• AC and DC breakers including a specific AC Input/Output/Bypass Breaker (IOB) Kit
per installation
• bus bars and DC current shunts as required per specific installation

Some systems will work optimally with an FW-X240 Auto-Transformer installed.

installation is different, consult with your dealer or installer for further information.
