FLEXnet™ DC
Multichannel Advanced DC System Monitor
Outback Power Systems
The FLEXnet DC requires an Outback Mate running firmware version 4.0 or higher. For more information click here.
The following is data shown as it will appear on your Outback Mate:
Battery Status Screen
Easily see your system’s current condition with this at-a-glance display. This screen shows an easy to interpret “fuel gauge” style status bar, current state-of-charge and whether you are currently charging or discharging your batteries. This is useful for those system owners who want a way to quickly understand the current state of their battery bank.
Now Summary Screen
Monitor the amount of power your system is currently producing and consuming as well as the amount of power going IN and OUT of your battery bank. This screen also displays your battery bank’s voltage and current state-of-charge, providing you with real-time production monitoring of DC sources, such as a solar array or small wind turbine, as well as consumption by loads.
Today Summary Screen
Monitor the cumulative energy your system has produced and consumed as well as the total amount of energy that has gone to charging your batteries today. This screen also displays today’s lowest state-of-charge and allows you to see how your overall system production compares to system consumption.
History Summary Screen
Review historical energy production and consumption data for the most recent 128 days, including the minimum battery state-of-charge reached for each day. This screen can be used to watch power system production and consumption trends.

Here are some tips from the altE staff
- The FLEXNet DC works in conjunction with up to three input current shunts. Shunts are not included with the FLEXNet DC and must be ordered separately (see Add-on's & Accessories). Please note that the FlexWare 500 DC and FlexWare 1000 DC do include one shunt and room for additional shunts to be installed. The FlexWare 250 does not include a shunt.
