STACKING OPTIONS
OutBack International Series FXs can be stacked in one of two confi gurations:
1. OutBack Parallel
2. 3-Phase
NOTE: Although stacking 10 FXs is possible, OutBack’s AC hardware only accommodates confi gura-
tions of two, four, or eight FXs. A system with eight FXs would require two AC Input/Output Bypass
(IOB) Breaker Kits or installing an external manual bypass; ten FXs would require three IOB kits or an
external manual bypass.
1. Outback Parallel
• 2-10 FXs are wired to the same 230 VAC output leg or phase.
• The Slave FXs can be programmed to remain at diff erent power levels (Silent or On depending on
the need) to save energy; the Slaves will come on when the power demand requires them.
• This power-saving system is fully automatic and works with or without a MATE connected to the
system, although a MATE is required to program the components. Without a MATE, the user cannot
reprogram.
• The AC input (generator or grid) must be 230VAC.
