Requirements and Warnings

The OutBack FLEXware 1000 enclosures (FW1000-AC and FW1000-DC) are listed by ETL as an

indoor enclosure to UL standard UL 508A Industrial Control Panels.

This enclosure is intended for battery circuits congured for 12 to 48 volts nominal.

Grounding Instructions – Each enclosure should be connected to a grounded, permanent wiring

system. For most installations, the negative battery conductor should be bonded to the ground-

ing system at one (and only one) point in the DC system. All installations should comply with all

national and local codes and ordinances. System grounding as required by the National Electric

Code, ANSI /NFPA 70-1996, is the responsibility of the system installer.

The equipment ground on FLEXware1000 is marked with this symbol:

FLEXware is designed for indoor mounting only with appropriate fasteners and a secure mounting

surface that can handle the full weight of an assembled system.

Welcome to OutBack Power Systems’FLEXware

FLEXware is a convenient all-aluminum power system oering simpler, code-compliant installation

of OutBack power electronics components. Three versions of FLEXware are available:

• FLEXware 250 for single FX Series Inverter/Charger installations along with the desired AC and

DC disconnects

• FLEXware 500, which supports up to two FXs and two MX Charge Controllers, accommodating

both split-phase and/or higher power output as needed

• FLEXware 1000 accommodates up to four FXs and four MX Charge Controllers

Please Note: Both the FLEXware 500 and the FLEXware 1000 power systems provide locations for

FW-X240 Auto-Transformers, multiple DC shunts and other essential components required in

higher kW systems.

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 (see arrows in Figure 14) to the outside of the

FW1000-AC (hardware included with the HUB).

Figure 14: FLEXware Wiring Raceway

When all component and cabling installations are complete, install the FLEXware Wiring Raceway

to cover and protect the exposed communication cables running between the AC and DC sides

of the system. The illustration above shows FLEXware Mounting Plates with components removed

for clarity.

A complete FLEXware 1000 System consists of the following in addition to the FW1000-AC

and FW1000-DC:

• two FLEXware Mounting Plates (FW-MP)

• FLEXware Wiring Raceway (included with AC chassis)

• four FX Series Inverter/Chargers

• AC Conduit Adapter (ACA) and a DC Conduit Adapter (DCA), which connect each FX to the

FW1000-AC and FW1000-DC

• MX60 Charge Controller(s) (normally part of this system) and mounting brackets

• AC and DC breakers including a specic AC Input/Output/Bypass Breaker (IOB) Kit

• bus bars and DC current shunts as required per specic installation

• DC and AC ground fault protection

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

Note: Be sure you have all the parts required for your intended system installation. As every

installation is dierent, consult with your dealer or installer for further information.

Installation Tips

• Never use less than the minimum recommended number and type of fasteners when installing

the FLEXware Mounting Plates.

• Each FX weighs in excess of 50 lbs and is often more easily installed by two people rather

than one.

• Be sure the DC enclosure is secured to the FLEXware Mounting Plate before attaching the

MX Charge Controller to it.

• Installation of each enclosure and breakers is normally easier by removing the breaker brackets

rst. Do not remove any breaker knockouts from these brackets without referring to the chosen

AC IOB kits and DC breaker selections rst.

• It is also easier if all conduit knockouts are removed before mounting the enclosures.

Mounting and Installation

FLEXware 1000 is designed for mounting on the FLEXware Mounting Plate (FW-MP). Although the

components can be secured to other surfaces, the FW-MP is an engineered platform designed

for the FLEXware 1000 installation. This manual illustrates such an installation. OutBack does not

endorse other installation methods and therefore cannot recommend fasteners or other means of

attachment due to the variety of installations possible in the ﬁeld.

Please see the FLEXware Mounting Plate Instructions for further information.

In addition to installing the AC and DC chassis, a typical installation includes four FX Series Invert-

er/Chargers, one or more MX Charge Controllers, a HUB Communications Manager, and AC and

DC Conduit Adapters. The installation of these components is also displayed in these instructions.

TSlot indicates this is the top edge of the FW-MP

Figure 3: FLEXware Mounting Plate

The MX Charge Controller attaches

to the chassis using three #10 X 3/8”

sheet metal screws included in the

hardware kit. Two are inserted from

inside the MX and the third through

the hanger on the top of the MX.

MX60 Installation

A FLEXware 1000 System installation includes up to four MX Charge Controllers which can be

mounted on both the top and side of the FW1000-DC. Newer MXs have rear knockouts allowing

them to be mounted directly to the side of the enclosure without the need for additional

mounting brackets. Mounting brackets are required for top installation of all MX models and for

side installation of less recent models..

Figure 4: Two mounting plates installed

Note: Check that both FW-MPs are level as per the FLEXware Mounting Plate Installation Manual. If

space is restricted, the FW-MPs can be installed vertically.

With the Mounting Plate and the hanging screws (for the FX Series Inverter/Chargers) installed,

install the FXs.

• Start with the top FX.

• Hang the FX on the hanging screws, but continue to hold onto it.

• Loosely install four M6 X 20 mm screws, included with the FW-MP, one in each corner; tighten

them when all four are installed and the FX is aligned.

• Install the remaining FXs in the same manner.

Hanging Straps

Figure 11: DCA bushing

Note: The DCA will be held rmly in place when the DCC (FX cover) is secured at the end of

the installation.

To install an ACA:

• Follow the separate ACA instructions for mounting to the FX.

• Line the ACA up with the conduit hole in the AC Chassis.

• When aligned, move the AC chassis snug against the ACAs after the ACA installations.

• Press a 1” plastic bushing from inside the AC chassis out to the ACA through each previously

removed knockout, sliding the AC chassis against the ACAs until snug.

• With all the ACA’s aligned with the AC chassis and the bushings installed, tighten the AC chassis

screws against the FW-MP.

With both the AC chassis and DC chassis installed, the breaker brackets, AC din rail(s), and

optional AC and DC breakers can be installed. Please see the individual Input/Output/Bypass

Breaker (IOB) kit for instructions.
