## Description

The latest, most advanced features on the industry’s most trusted and proven platform—that’s the essence of OutBack’s new FXR Series of Grid/Hybrid inverter/chargers. Capable of off-grid or grid-connected operation in a single model, the FXR Grid/Hybrid inverter/chargers provide system designers with unprecedented flexibility and compatibility for nearly any power conversion scenario. FXR inverter/chargers can be paired with a MATE3S (sold separately) to add OPTICS RE to monitor and control system performance from any location. Available in power ranges from 2000W-3600W, multiple units may be stacked and connected with other OutBack Power electronics for more seamless system integration and the ability to function in a wide variety of applications, and system sizes. Up to nine inverters can be combined in a 3-phase system with the 12V, 24V or 48V models, and up to 36kW in a grid-tied 24V or 48V system with optional MATE3S and HUB10.3 (sold separately). The exclusive modular system architecture means that increased power output is just an additional FXR inverter/charger away. Listed to UL1741-SA. 5-Year Manufacturer Warranty.

Review: Good unit until I needed support. - System worked well for a number of years and then I needed support. Very, very difficult to reach anyone if you are an end user and off grid without access to solar Installers to do service visits. Switching to lithium ion batteries from gel acid. It’s been impossible to reach anyone in tech-support to figure out what new equipment I need. Had the same problem when my old system began to fail.
Review: GREAT AND RELIABLE - I live off the grid and I have been for quite sometime. I first started using OutBack products about 20 years ago when they first came out with their FX Inverters. This year I am in the process of possibly connecting to the grid and I could not do that with my existing FX Inverters so I upgraded to these VFXR3648A which can be used for both off-grid and grid-tie applications. I purchased two of these to run both my home and my woodshop. I could actually run them off one but because of the surge power to start some of my tools I needed to have them both. And there is another advantage to having two inverters and that is that there is twice the charging power if you need it and that the second unit is sitting their idle until your first inverter uses about two thirds its capacity when it kicks in to relieve the master unit thus saving ware and tier on each unit. My solar system is completely OutBack except for the solar panels, wind turbines, and the LP backup generator.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Unit is too tall for my RV.  Can it be laid on its side?**
A: Per the manufacturer the unit can be mounted in any direction.

**Q: I won't use the charger.  Will it work as an inverter sans any 120v input?**
A: You just need to give it around 48V  (batteries and/or solar and/or wind too, i guess).  actually, you can program it down to 37V  using a MATE, iirc.

The 120V AC input is just for backup, and it's not required  

(so, for instance if you are running it indoors and you only have 200 watts of solar, you can still use that 200 watts to run a 1500 watt heater, but the other 1300 watts will come from your AC mains power source)

**Q: This inverter arrives needing no other accessories to begin inverting?**
A: This offer is the inverter only and does not include NEC required input/output disconnects (fuses or breakers). Optional Outback Power inverter controller MATE3 is also sold separately. All electrical wiring should only be performed by a qualified electrician to meet NEC and local electrical codes. Full product specifications are available at the Outback Power site.

**Q: What's the diference between vfxr3648a and vfxr3648la?**
A: -LA suffix for previous models for 127VAC 60Hz overseas applications.
