HBX Mode:
• Stands for high battery transfer
• Is used with grid-connected FX Series Inverter/Chargers that have utility power as their AC
input
• Is a mode primarily used in applications that have enough renewable energy (RE) power
production to meet the needs of the loads most of the time
• Allows the FX to connect to an AC source if the battery voltage has fallen below a program-
mable set point for a user congurable amount of time (MATE will then allow the FX to
remain connected to the AC source until the battery voltage has risen above a second set
point for a programmable amount of time)
e MATE detects when the battery is truly low and needs charging as opposed to a sudden
and momentary drop caused by a sizable demand for power from a device such as a motor.
At these times, the MATE directs the FX to use AC power until the battery is fully charged
again. e user programs in the amount of time a battery can be below the low voltage and
the amount of time aer it’s fully charged before the MATE starts issuing its commands. e
MATE uses these times to switch back and forth between AC and battery power. Additionally,
in HBX mode, the FX charging function can be shut o to allow the alternative energy source
to recharge the batteries while the loads are powered by the utility grid.
