This manual is for use by qualified personnel only.
• Network terminators (Figure 2-13)—the Xanbus network must be properly
terminated at each end to ensure the communication signal quality on the
network. Network terminators plug into network ports on Xanbus-enabled
devices. The solar charge controller and other Xanbus-enabled devices ship
with one terminator. Depending on your network layout, this terminator may
need to be inserted into another device elsewhere in the network.
Network Layout
Xanbus-enabled devices are connected with separate lengths of cable. The
devices at each end of the chain must have a terminator inserted into their open
network ports, as shown in Figure 2-14.
