STACKING MENU
The STACK (stacking) section is used to program the stacking of the FX’s as well as which ‘Slave’ FX’s will stay ON at all times (won’t
go into ‘Power Save’ mode) and in what order the slave FX’s will come ON (if they are in ‘Power Save’ mode). An explanation of
stacking can be found on pages 24-26 of this manual.

Once the password has been correctly entered, the ADV - CHOOSE CATEGORY: screen is
displayed. Selecting <PG2> shows a second screen of categories.
Selecting <PG3> shows a third screen of categories.
Selecting <STACK> allows adjustment of the stacking set points and operation.
The STACK PHASE screen sets the hierarchy of the FX’s. If the system is to be stacked, a HUB
must be included and the FX that is to be the MASTER must be plugged into port 1 of the HUB. The
default for every FX is ‘1-2ph Master’. Pressing PORT will select the next port that an FX is plugged
into. When the port for the slave FX has been chosen, press INC to cycle through the slave options
(Classic Slave, OB Slave L1, OB Slave L2, 3ph Master, and 3ph Slave).
The POWER SAVE LEVEL MASTER ADJUST is used to set the number of FX SLAVE’s that will
remain on under any load condition. The value corresponds to the rank of the SLAVE. For example,
setting this value to 2 allows all slaves with POWER SAVE LEVEL SLAVE ADJUST ONLY values 2
or less to stay on at all times. Setting this number to a low value will result in fewer FX’s remaining
on and will provide the highest system efficiency.
The POWER SAVE LEVEL SLAVE ADJUST is used to set a slave FX’s priority for operation when
the complete system is operating at medium to heavy loads. By setting each of the slaves to a
different number you can control the sequence that the slave FX’s are turned on by the master FX.
Selecting TOP returns the user to the top of the ADV/FX/STACK menu section. Selecting ADV
returns you to the advanced screen to allow selection of another product connected to the MATE.
Selecting MAIN returns the display to the MAIN screen.
