Components and Connections
1. With all AC and DC breakers OFF, connect all FXs to the HUB with individual lengths of CAT5 cable.
a) Connect the OutBack MATE after all other components,
including any OutBack Charge Controllers, have been connected
and powered up.
b) Components installed after powering up the system will require
repolling the MATE (please see page 22).
c) With the MATE, a user assigns a status and stacking value to the
FX on each Port. These status and value assignments can be
changed at any time as long as the Master FX is plugged into
HUB Port 01.
• “1-2ph Master” for one and
two-phase systems
• “3ph Master” for a 3-phase
system
• The Master FX is always
considered to be the leg
one phase.
• GTFX and GVFX models
show “Master” not “1-2ph
Master” on the MATE
screen.
