[RE-wrenches] Outback VFX upgrade question

[Sindelar Solar]

Wrenches,

I have a client who is looking at upgrading an older off grid system 
that has an Outback VFX3524 inverter to 48V_nom in order to use a Blue 
Ion LiFePo battery. I installed the VFX about ten years ago and it has 
worked without any issues. The client has never had a generator and has 
enough array to equalize his FLA batteries with array only, so has never 
had or needed a Mate. If I upgrade to 48V with a new inverter, it will 
most likely be an FXR3048. First question: Can I use an original Mate 
(rather than a Mate3) to set up basic programming with a R series 
inverter, such as charger and LBCO settings? Second: anyone have an 
older FX3048 or VFX3648 for sale, if the answer to the first question is no?

Thank you,

Allan
