Hello All
1.I want to avoid AFCI unless mandated. Will this be defeated if I
don’t run the leads through the sense coil? (There is an AFCI and non-AFCI
version but I can’t seem to find the non-AFCI version anywhere.)

I've installed a few FM 100s. Seem to work fine, and nice to wire
arrays 6 in series, but we do have to use the higher voltage rated
breakers on the PV side. We have had them mixed with other controllers

I’m pretty sure any hub will work, needs 3S mate
Where in the manual did you find the “don’t mix with other 60/80 controllers?

On the #4 question, if you downsize the breaker you can also downsize
the cc output wiring as long as the breaker is still protecting the wiring,
as you know. One of the advantages of this controller (or any HVcc) is the
higher input voltage is great down the line for adding more solar easily.
Howie,
We just installed our first two FM100's. We had already added the
MATE3 earlier to get OpticRE. They work great and we accidentally tested
the 3/4 amp ground fault fuses white switching out the breakers to high
voltage. Just a tiny spark from the pv wire to ground and bingo two

Hi Howie
Yes you need a Mate 3 to program and view data for the FM100

I think you would make a huge mistake to not use an all Outback or
Schneider system! No mixing because the web portals are excellent from a
monitoring sense. Much of my income is from monitoring so as they say, I'm
a fan!
