<div>I think the jury is still out whether or not the FM-60 is better than the MX-60. but I find it strange that only 1 out of 2 in a system misbehaves. Might be that I just haven't caught the 2nd one doing it yet.</div>
<div>But everything gets growing pains and we have come along way in a short time.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Reflashed FM-60 controller returning soon.</div>

<div>Later,</div>

<div><br>
<div>This system was full Outback: FX inverter, FM controller, FlexMAX monitor, Mate, hub. We have used the MX60's with many mod. square wave inverters in off grid systems and in RV's. No compatibility problems with the MX series.</div>

<br>Last week I had an FM80 that would operate in bulk mode while reducing <br>the current to a few amps on a 1200 watt RV system. The customer said <br>he had to reset the controller several times through the day. After <br>
every reset, full amperage was delivered and the controller would <br>eventually transition to absorb and float. I replaced the controller <br>from stock and put it on the bench. It works just fine with no other <br>equipment attached to the battery.<br>
<br>My question is about the auto restart mode. Default is 0. Should Mode <br>0 continue to track the Vmp thru the day or must one use mode 1 and <br>force restarts? The MX60 had a Sweep Interval that could be programmed <br>
for every few minutes. Has this been replaced by the Auto Restart Mode?<br><br>Larry</font> </div></div></div>
