[RE-wrenches] Aux Output on Outback Devices

[jay peltz]

Hi William

Supposed to be. 
I've tried them with too large of a relay and wouldn't work ( the relay that is). Dead short would be the same. 

But i did have a VFX 3648 many years ago that had 48v on the aux output. Stumped the hell out of outback. While talking to tech, they had me short the aux wires, and poof 1 dead inverter.
