Installing AC sync and Xanbus cables
The AC sync cable connects each inverter and provides the necessary
communication and control between multiple units. Install these cables, routing
them through the Conext XW+ Conduit Box raceway, prior to making the AC and
DC wiring connections.
Note: Installing and replacing Xanbus-enabled devices in an existing system
must be performed with the Conext XW+ Inverter/Charger in standby mode. For
more information about standby mode, see the Conext System Control Panel
Owner’s Guide.
Note: Mount cables and network connectors in a dry location.
Note: If you are installing a Xanbus-enabled device on an existing Xanbus
system, put the system in standby mode using the System Settings menu on
the Conext System Control Panel.
