MX60 Aux mode: ‘00’ to ‘99’ This shows what Aux output mode is being
run on the MX. Refer to MX manual for mode descriptions. FLEXmax 80
or FLEXmax 60 the lower 6 bits represent the programmed Aux mode. If
bit 7 is set (data greater than 63) then Aux mode is active.
Error modes: MX60 Error modes are implemented for MX versions greater than 5.11 and FLEXmax 80
and FlexMAX 60.
Error modes: ‘000’ to ‘255’ This is an ASCII expression of an 8 bit byte, with each bit representing a
different error. Referring to Figure 11, a returned ‘032’ would be shorted battery sensor.
BIT # Value Warning
1 1 unused
2 2 unused
3 4 unused
4 8 unused
5 16 unused
6 32 Shorted Battery Sensor
7 64 Too Hot
8 128 High VOC

MX/FM Charge mode: ’00’ to ‘99’ This data represents the MXs charger mode.
See Figure 12.
Battery Voltage: ‘000’ to ‘999’, A 24.8 Vdc battery voltage will be sent as ‘248’.
*Daily AH: ‘0000’ to ‘2000’, (FLEXmax 80 and FLEXmax 60 only) Running daily total of amp hours
produced by the charge controller. ‘9999’ is returned if charge controller is MX60
*On FLEXmax 80 and FLEXmax 60 this number is reset at midnight if connected to MATE.
