About the Xantrex XW System Control Panel
Complete
system control
The Xantrex XW System Control Panel provides configuration and
monitoring capability for a Xantrex XW Power System.
The Xantrex XW SCP:
• Monitors activity throughout your power system
• Displays the settings and status of each Xantrex Xanbus-enabled
device
• Enables you to adjust settings for each Xantrex Xanbus-enabled
device.
System
component
The Xantrex XW SCP uses Xantrex Xanbus, a network communications
protocol developed by the manufacturer, to communicate its settings and
activity to other Xantrex Xanbus-enabled devices.
Xantrex Xanbus-enabled products are:
• Easy to use. The Xantrex Xanbus network simplifies operation and
automates routine tasks.
• Reliable. Software control eliminates errors due to analog signaling.
• Accurate. Digital information is less susceptible to interference and
line loss.
System
requirements
The Xantrex XW SCP requires a Xantrex Xanbus power supply to
operate. Network power is carried by the network cables, and can be
supplied by a Xantrex XW Hybrid Inverter/Charger.
As a device that draws network power, the Xantrex XW SCP consumes a
maximum of 3 watts.
Operational
Features
Other features of the Xantrex XW SCP include:
• Compatibility—connect additional Xantrex Xanbus-enabled Xantrex
XW System devices without requiring additional device-specific
control panels.
• Internal clock—keeps time for the entire system.
• Audible alarm—if enabled, alerts you when a fault condition arises.
• Low power consumption—automatically turns off the backlight after
a period of inactivity.
• Non-volatile memory—preserves Xantrex XW SCP settings if network
power is interrupted or network communication is disrupted.
Important: The Xantrex XW System Control Panel is compatible only with
Xantrex XW System components, including Xantrex XW Hybrid Inverter/
Chargers, Xantrex XW-MPPT Charge Controllers, and the Xantrex XW
Automatic Generator Start.
