<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Christopher Freitas:
Each FX2000 includes a AUX output control circuit which can be used as a AC load shed control system (there are several other modes you can select also). So the FX2000 can turn off all but a low power critical load circuit if the battery/capacitor/PV array output was not sufficient to power the entire AC loads. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I don't know much about these systems, but it seems that this is a logical means of handling the problem. Loads could be dropped off in a prioritized fashion and the same logic could be used to add them back. Why couldn't this approach be used to run a load at night from batteries as long as possible, then switch back to grid when a predetermined point was reached? (Or is this already done?)

thanks

Joajuin, We are extremely backordered on the MX60. Fortunately, I know the guy who allocates the daily shipments. Which distributor did you place your order with? I'll get your units going ASAP. We are in the same backorder situation with the FX,(They are now shipping too).

Hi Bob,

Now that the FX2000s are shipping, can you please post the manuals on your website?

TIA,

George

I see that Robin didn't sign his name to his post...
This is a great idea to post the manuals, and
I thought we were going to do that. I'll push them on this one.
thanks for the input !

When you save the FX-2000s are shipping does that include the 48V versions?

Does that mean that grid-tie isn't far behind?

Arnold,
We have been shipping the 24 volt inverter for only a week now. The computer code will be getting minor fine tunings during the next few weeks as requests for them come in. We are also working on the stacking code at the moment too. At present the inverter is stand alone only. The 48 volt version will be a few months out in order to incorporate all changes. There will be about a dozen pre-production 48 volt units available sooner than that, but they will not have ETL approval. We would like to have the 48 volt unit ETL approved for line tie at the get go in order to reduce certification costs. This will delay it a bit further. Hang in there until early Spring. With the addition of our MX60 we are finding many installations are opting to go with the 24 volt inverter and still run the array at 48. The MX60 is extremely well suited for this application.
Robin
