Both beasts, both however, benefit from extra external fans in hot climates.

It's pretty impressive. I need to try the Midnight Classic. Thanks!

Hey Brad. The unit is showing you 0.25kw which is 250 watts that is the simultaneous display as described in the manual. I picked up a FM60 today for $100 and ironically I didn't really want another controller as I was after 500ft of PV cable for $50. However, the unit tested good and was on FW 2.000 but it makes no sense to invest in a MATE3 or HUB4 to upgrade the firmware, so I will use the unit as a killer replacement to the cheaper fire starter controllers. Mine was Q1 2010 date but very clean. Nice content and now subscribed

Thanks, yeah I figured out the watts on the display like you said awhile back. My vision is not so great so I had to look at a few times before I figured it out LOL. $100 is an amazing deal!

Top 3 one of the best. Running 3. Just need a doctorate to program haha.

Nice. I'm surprised I don't see more of these. This thing is super high quality, and really the price is not too bad.

That is so good to see Brad - thanks mate. The size of the inductors has more to do with frequency of the DC to DC inverter, the thickness of the wire used is a measure of the current that flows through them. You mount it so the top sticks up beyond the top of the shelf wall, but I guess you want easy access for filming the display. Can I suggest the addition of a few wireless cameras? You can then put up composite shots of several things and displays at once without too much rooting around.

Yes, actually I was thinking the same with the top sticking up over the top shelf. That's a good idea with the cameras. I have a box full of security cameras, I might put some to work. Thanks!

I run two of these...hands down the best

I've got one of these on the ranch, but man, it's got way to many settings, and the manual really doesn't help much. Thanks

Any problem with 1140 watt? can i exceed the recommended wattage limit 1000w on 12 volts system?

Another great video. So how many Watt of panels you are feeding it? That SCC is built like a tank!

It was 3x 435w panels I had running to it. Yeah, it's a monster. Thanks!

Can this controller charge lithium iron phosphate batteries?

Cool inverter. Do you like it as good as the victron stuff?

@BradCagle

I think it's on par with Victron in quality, and performance. However there are two things it's lacking, Bluetooth, and the ability to start/run from PV. Now it does have two positives over Victron, serviceability, and price. Thanks

I've been looking at these how much did you pick it up for if you don't mind me asking?

$275 on this one. Looks like you can get them for little over 400 on Amazon. I have a link in the description.

Thought he said new is 400.Well more like 500 a month later.

Greetings sir. Found ur videos thru the one about crypto mining with solar. Which is what I’m wanting to get into. Then came across this vid when looking thru ur catalog. And I was shocked. I have searched high and low (on KZread) for info on this controller. And it seems to be quite limited. Coincidentally I have this exact same controller and entire setup that goes with it. Minus the batteries sadly. They started expanding about 2 years ago. Anyway would love to chat about the flex master and crypto mining using solar in general. I’m on Twitter or discord if u use either of those. Or yahoo for email. Handle the same on all platforms. Great vids btw. And subscribed. ✌🏼✌🏼
