I just read about this on the Outback user forum yesterday:

>>Can one purchase solid state relays in a package, just needing to be wired up?

Oh, yes, of course...

There are some good solid state relays out there that can be triggered from the
MX60 (and WX coming up) Aux output programmed for diversion control...

First one to look at is Eurotherm's (Continental) SVDD series

http://www.ciicontrols.com/products/svdd.htm

Another company is www.hellroaring.com/

Take a look at these.... Especially the SVDD. 12 Volts from the
MX60's Aux output can drive these as I understand.
You can set the MX60 diversion delay and hold times to 0 and get somewhat of a
PWM also. At least 10s of Hertz.

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment
insurance,
and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party
again
in our political history.

There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these
things. Among them are... a few... Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional
politician or business man from other areas.

Their number is negligible and they are stupid."

-- Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1890-1969
