IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

The OutBack FLEXware PV-8 and PV-12 Combiners are listed by ETL as PV Combiners under the follow-

ing standards:

•  UL 67, 11th Edition

•  UL 1741, First Edition

•  CSA  C22.2, No.29-M1989

These enclosures meet Type 3R rainproof requirements when mounted vertically or leaning back to 14 
degrees (3/12 pitch).

This enclosure is rated for up to 150VDC circuit breakers and up to 600VDC fuses. 

Grounding Instructions 

– Each enclosure should be connected to a grounded, permanent wiring 

system. For most installations, the negative battery conductor should be bonded to the grounding 

system at one (and only one) point in the DC system. All installations must comply with all national 

and local codes and ordinances. System grounding as required by the National Electric Code, ANSI 
/NFPA 70-1996, or other appropriate codes is the responsibility of the system installer.

The equipment ground on FLEXware PV Combiner is marked with this symbol:   

NOTE

: Solar panels produce electrical current when light is present, even during overcast 

weather. Do not wire from the array to the PV-8 or the PV-12 Combiner. Complete all 
connections inside the combiner fi rst and then connect at the array.

OutBack Power Systems’ FLEXware

FLEXware is a convenient system of all-aluminum, powder-coated modular enclosures with associated 

mounting hardware and stainless steel fasteners for housing OutBack power components. Our 

indoor-rated enclosures and mounting plates off er secure and centralized installations for various 

combinations of FX Series Inverter/Chargers, OutBack Charge Controllers, the OutBack HUB, MATE, and 

Auto-Transformer, as well as breakers, bus bars, and balance-of-system components. 

General Wiring and Installation Instructions

•   Remove any necessary knockouts before securing the combiner to its mounting surface.

•   Mount the combiner, securing it appropriately.*

•   Slide the circuit breakers or fuse holders onto the DIN rail and lock in place.

•   Secure the box lugs to the Combiner Bus Bar. 

•   Install the Combiner Bus Bar and secure it to either the fuse holders or the circuit breakers.

•  Connect all wires to the fuse holders or circuit breakers and the box lugs, securing them 

  according to the listed torque values.
•  Connect the wires to the solar array.

*FLEXware PV-8 and PV-12 Combiners are designed for weather-resistant outdoor installation when appropriate 

fasteners and secure mounting surfaces are used. The back of each combiner has knockouts 

 

to accommodate 

fasteners, U-bolts, or other hardware for secure attachment to a solid surface, including pole mounting. Both the 

surface and the fastening hardware must be suffi

  cient to support the weight of the combiner.
