Outback Systems VFX Vented Sinewave Inverters/Chargers
OutBack inverter/chargers are the next generation in advanced power management. Each is a DC to AC sinewave inverter, battery charger and AC transfer switch housed within a tough die-cast aluminum chassis. Just like the local utility grid, the inverter produces true sinewave AC electricity for your stand-alone or backup power needs. Computers, TVs and pumps are just some of the examples of modern electronics that last longer and run better when powered with true sinewave electricity. Starting up your air conditioning, washing machine or well pump is worry-free because of our high surge power capability. By utilizing an efficient active cooling design, the VFX models are available with AC output up to 3.6 kilowatts. Our tough die-cast aluminum chassis physically protects the internal components while the air intake includes an easily cleaned filter. All circuit boards are conformal coated to prevent corrosion from airborne moisture in humid conditions.

NGE 1960-160
Next Generation’s 12 volt solar power light controller is designed to give the user flexibility when selecting optimum lighting conditions. This flexibility lowers the initial capital requirements of the system as well as cutting the ongoing operation costs. It is powered by any DC power source and charges 12 volt sealed lead acid batteries for systems using battery backup. When retrofitting systems or whenever grid-tie is available, an optional power supply can also be used with the light controller. If the battery falls below the Low Battery Disconnect voltage, the controller automatically switches the lamp illumination from battery to grid power if tied into a grid system.
Applications - Solar powered street lights. Lighting in park or parking lot areas where no grid tie is available. Remote lighting in back yards, long driveway or private roadways. Rooftop lighting for security and general lighting purposes
