OutBack FLEXnet DC Multichannel Advanced DC System Monitor

Manufacturer Part Number: FN-DC

FLEXnet DC monitors up to 3 shunts for improved battery management. Includes twisted pair wire and communications cable.

The FLEXNet DC collects, monitors and records time-based battery amp, watt and volt data for display on the OutBack MATE series of products, allowing for more accurate set point adjustments and precise battery recharging. Five LEDs on the FLEXnet DC act as a state-of-charge indicator bar for a quick status display. It also offers an auxiliary (AUX) relay that acts like a switch to turn on or off a user-installed light, alarm, or similar low voltage DC device. It can also be set up as a two-wire auto generator starter.

Features

Battery Status Screen

Easily see your system’s current condition with this at-a-glance display. This screen shows an easy to interpret “battery gauge” style status bar, current state-of-charge and whether you are currently charging or discharging your batteries. This is useful for those system owners who want a way to quickly understand the current state of their battery bank.

Now Summary Screen 

Monitor the amount of power your system is currently producing and consuming as well as the amount of power going IN and OUT of your battery bank. This screen also displays your battery bank’s voltage and current state-of-charge, providing you with real-time production monitoring of DC sources, such as a solar array or small wind turbine, as well as consumption by loads.

Today Summary Screen

Monitor the cumulative energy your system has produced and consumed as well as the total amount of energy that has gone to charging your batteries today. This screen also displays today’s lowest state-of-charge and allows you to see how your overall system production compares to system consumption.

History Summary Screen

Review historical energy production and consumption data for the most recent 128 days, including the minimum battery state-of-charge reached for each day. This screen can be used to watch power system production and consumption trends.
