9.7 LNS Option and XLS Option
The Line Sync option and the External Line Sync option both provide the same function, namely
synchronizing the iX output to the input line. The LNS option is internal to the iX power source
and will sync the output to the iX input line only.
The XLS option however, is external to the power source, it can be added to the source as
needed and it will sync to any line voltage whether it is connected to the iX source or not.
Note: This Feature is not available with the –FC option.
