OutBack Mobile and Marine Inverters (Sealed and Vented M Series)
OutBack’s Mobile and Marine inverter/charger models provide the high performance and reliability you need no matter where your travels take you. Our die-cast metal construction allows mounting in any position, even upside down. The required AC input neutral/ground switching is taken care of by a fully integrated 30 amp AC transfer switch for shore chord or generator hook-up. Three circuit boards and a simple design make field servicing the unit easy no matter where you are. Rigorous testing at the factory ensures that each inverter/charger works the first time as well as for many years to come.

The sealed OutBack M-Series inverter/charger is the most rugged design in the world. Conformal coated circuit boards, powder coated die-cast aluminum chassis with gaskets and o-ring seals keep out water and resist corrosion. Simply put, the sealed M-series is designed to work where other inverter/chargers were never intended to go.
Applications
Hot and humid climates where a protected area is not available for installation of the inverter/charger system
Salt air environments such as Hawaii where you can't get away from the salt air and where there is little difference between indoors and outdoors
Dirty environments where dust or drifting organic matter such as cottonwood could clog air openings in an unattended system
Boats and RV's where water might splash on the inverter
Greater control of unwanted radio frequency interference
FX2012MT
This inverter comes with the "Turbo" option in place. The external ventilation improves the operating efficiency of the inverter, yet maintains the air tight seal which protects internal components for dust and corrosion.
Sealed Version
Extremely Rugged Design
Also Available in 24 Volt and Export (50 Hz) versions
Marine Electrical System
The Mobile Standard (Shown with Turbo option)
Powdercoated all aluminum die-cast chassis
Internal electronic components are cooled by outside air
Stainless steel screen to protect air intake and internal fan
UL 94V0 plastic vent grills to protect the air exhaust. All openings are 0.0025 inches square to keep out dirt, bugs, and other critters – we call it “bug proof” construction
Air inlet comes with removable, washable foam filter insert to trap small particles
Conformal coated circuit boards to resist corrosion
Higher output power when inverting or battery charging when compared with the sealed FX inverter versions
Designed to allow easy field servicing and repair

Additional Product Details
The OutBack M-Series inverter/charger is an all-in-one mobile power solution. It incorporates a true sinewave inverter, intelligent battery charger and an AC transfer switch which includes a 30 amp pass through and automatic neutral/ground switching.
All M-Series inverter/chargers produce virtually distortion free AC power for all your mobile electrical needs. Industry leading surge power starts multiple heavy loads simultaneously without the need to run your generator. Innovative power factor corrected battery charging uses multiple stages to recharge your batteries quickly so your generator runs less. Ultra fast AC transfer switch with battery charger back off circuitry allows you to seamlessly take full advantage of your shore cord.
OutBack’s modular design makes expanding your power system as easy as adding an additional inverter/charger. Integrated network communications makes system setup and monitoring easy. Very quiet operation allows mounting in noise sensitive areas, even under a bunk. Repairs in the field are easy thanks to a simple three circuit board design.
The OutBack M-Series inverter is the superior choice when you need a reliable, powerful and modular true sinewave inverter/charger.
ULTRA CLEAN AC POWER
Smooth, true sinewave AC output waveform -not an old fashioned modified Sinewave/Squarewave.
EXTREMELY RUGGED
Built to survive dust, bugs, even rain and salt air. Choice of sealed FX or bug-proof VFX versions. Installation of the inverter in an RV is now less of a problem.
EXTREMELY EFFICIENT
Get more power out of your batteries - run larger AC loads longer.
INTELLIGENT BATTERY CHARGER
Advanced charging algorithms provide fast recharging while increasing battery life. Powerful: up to 125 amps.
VERY QUIET
The sealed FX inverters are virtually silent. The bugproof VFX inverters only have a variable speed thermostatically controlled fan. No more transformer buzz to annoy you.
EASY SYSTEM EXPANSION
Systems can grow with your needs - Stack inverters in parallel for more power, or in series for 120/240.
SERVICEABLE
Both FX and VFX inverter/chargers can be upgraded or serviced - even in the field.
DEFEATABLE NEUTRAL TO GND SWITCHING
Ground switching can be defeated for non-mobile applications or for multiple Inverter installations.
CAPABLE TECH SUPPORT HELP
