- Outback Power Hub User's Manual

HUB Operation

When the  rst powered OutBack product plugs into the HUB:

• The HUB will go through a power up sequence that  ashes all of its LEDs.

• The POWER LED will remain on any time that one or more powered OutBack products are

connected.

• After the MATE is connected it will start communicating with all connected devices.

• Each Port has an LED associated with it that is visible through the cover.

• Any device that is plugged in should have a  ickering LED when the MATE is

communicating with it.

Note: In order to operate correctly, the HUB requires that the MATE be code version 2.0 or higher. (See

“Checking the MATE Version” in the Troubleshooting section and/or see the MATE User Manual for

more information.)

order.

• After all devices are connected to the HUB, the MATE is always plugged in last using

the 1st MATE port.

up or simply power up all devices when the connections to the HUB are complete.

display a greeting and software revision information (see page 11)

• FX AC input breakers and AC output breakers should be open until stacking pro-

gramming is complete.

• To operate, the HUB requires at least one FX or Charge/Controller to be plugged in.
