INTRODUCTION
OutBack Power Systems’ HUB System Communications Manager allows multiple OutBack
devices to connect and integrate at one point via CAT5e cable WITH RJ45 modular jacks.
There are two HUB Communication Manager products:
• HUB 4, which has four component ports plus a MATE port
• HUB 10, which has ten component ports plus a MATE port
When the MATE is attached to the HUB 4, it can display and manage any combination of four
FX Series Inverters/Chargers and OutBack Charge Controllers. The OutBack HUB 10 allows the
MATE to control up to 10 OutBack products of any combination.
NOTE: The OutBack HUB communicates stacking phase, load share, and incremental start-
up and shut down information directly among the FX Series Inverter/Chargers. The HUB is
powered by any FX or OutBack Charge Controller connected to it.
Both the HUB 4 and HUB 10 are the same size,
but diff er in the number of available ports.
The snap-on wiring
cover protects cabling,
eliminating their
accidental plugging
and unplugging,
resulting in a cleaner
installation.
Gently spread the ends of
the cover to remove it.
