OutBack FX2000 update [RE-wrenches]

Tue Sep 24 14:14:40 PDT 2002

The OutBack FX2000 is almost ready for production release.  Several 
units have already been undergoing testing and more will be released 
later this week/next week for the formal beta testing cycle with the 
production release software.  We have completed the UL1741 testing with 
ETL for the 24 vdc version in stand-alone and back-up power applications 
and we will be submitting for CEC approval as soon as the report is in 
hand.  Volume production is expected to be completed in October.  

The testing for utility line tie standards is expected to occur in 
Octoober/November.  This is planned to be completed with the assistance 
of Sandia National Labs.  We may hold off on the volume production of 
the 48 vdc units until we have the line tie approval - any thoughts?

We did have our first FX2000 go over 6500 miles across the Australian 
Outback on the front of Tom Carpenter's Land Rover (a wrench in Hawaii) 
with positive results (except for the kangaroo he hit with the inverter 
at 65 MPH).  Photos are on the OutBack Power website.
