This is the factory-installed initial position.
Used for classic series, OutBack series, and
parallel stacking. Also used for three-phase
OutBack stacking with models GVFX(E) and
GTFX(E) .
For these applications, place all jumpers in
the positions noted in the photograph and
the diagram.
Used for three-phase OutBack stacking with
FX, VFX, FX(E) or VFX(E) inverters.
For these applications, place only two jumpers
in the positions noted in the photograph
and the diagram.
Remove all remaining jumpers. No others are
used for this configuration.

Series Stack (OutBack)
Up to 10 inverters or other devices; requires balancing transformer
Master inverter and half of the Slave inverters use common output AC bus (L1)
The remaining Slave inverters use a separate common AC bus (L2)
Master inverter is always active; regulates output based on load;
can power both L1 and L2 buses using balancing transformer
Slave inverters remain in Power Save mode; Master activates
any Slave inverters for either L1 or L2 based on load
