When Series stacking— the
Stacking cable is not
installed.

Install the Stacking cable to connect the
two inverter/chargers.

Unique Dev# Needed

Automatic

When stacking (Series or
Parallel)—if two units have
the same Device Number.

Change the Device Number of one unit.
See “Setting the Device Number” on page
56.

F71

Too Many Masters

Automatic

When stacking (Series or
