[RE-wrenches] Outback FM100

[William Miller]

Friends:



I have occasion to try the FM100 charge controller.  I am wondering of
anyone had found any quirks with implementing this device.  I have a few
specific questions:



1.   I want to avoid AFCI unless mandated.  Will this be defeated if I
don’t run the leads through the sense coil? (There is an AFCI and non-AFCI
version but I can’t seem to find the non-AFCI version anywhere.)

2.   I noticed the manual indicates you are not supposed to mix the FM100
with the FM80 or 60 in the same battery system.  This negates it for one
project I had in mind.  I am curious as to why this is.  Anyone know?

3.   Will the FM100 work with a standard hub?

4.   I suppose this unit requires a 125 amp breaker.  If the PV array
cannot support that full 100 amps I might down-size the OCPD accordingly.
Anyone contemplate this question?



Thanks in advance.

William
