Charge Controller Float Coordination
The advanced charger float control menu enables the coordination of more than one OutBack FLEXmax
charge controller. (This function also works on MX60 charge controllers with firmware revision 5.11). This
enables the devices to enter the float stage, or perform other activities, simultaneously rather than
individually. Float Coordination means that when one charge controller finishes a bulk charge and moves
into float charge, the MATE3 directs any other charge controllers into a float charge as well.

Global Charger Output Control
The global charger control allows the MATE3 to limit the DC current delivered to the batteries by all
FLEXmax charge controllers in the system. (This function cannot limit charge current from inverters of
any kind.)
This function requires the system to have a FLEXnet DC battery monitor installed in the system. The
FLEXmax charge controllers must be set to GT Mode in order to establish priority for this function.
(However, the inverters in the system cannot use grid-interactive functions, if any.)
