This manual is for use by qualified personnel only.
A “Copy Setup From?” screen appears.
6. Select the device number of the first solar charge controller you configured
(which should be device number 01), and press Enter.
The first solar charge controller’s configuration is copied to the second unit
and the “Copy Config?” prompt screen disappears.
7. Uncover the PV array and/or apply power with the disconnect or selector
switch.
The solar charge controller starts up in sleep mode and waits for a short period to
determine that the input voltage is greater than the output voltage. The LCD
indicates the solar charge controller mode or any error conditions that may be
present (see “Viewing Operating Status” on page 4–2). After the input voltage
exceeds the output voltage by the required margin for 10 seconds, the unit
begins operating.
Commissioning Units Using a System Control Panel
In systems where an SCP is present, the SCP is intended to be the configuration
interface. For information about SCP navigation and menus, see Appendix B,
“Conext System Control Panel Menus”.
Commissioning units using an SCP involves three separate procedures:
1. Setting the Device Numbers for all solar charge controllers.
2. Configuring Connections and Charger Settings for the first solar charge
controller.
3. Copying settings from the first unit to the other solar charge controller.
To set the Device Numbers for all solar charge controllers:
1. Ensure the Xanbus network is connected to a Xanbus-enabled inverter to
provide power to the SCP.
2. Apply battery power to all of the solar charge controllers at the same time.
When the solar charge controllers are powered up, they will detect that an
SCP is already operating on the network, and be ready for configuration
through the SCP. Do not apply PV power at this point.
3. From the Select Device menu on the SCP, select a solar charge controller
(each unit should appear as “MPPT60 00” where the 60 stands for 60A, and
the 00 is its device number).
4. On the MPPT Setup menu, ensure the Advanced Settings item is displayed. If
Advanced Settings are not displayed (and Basic Settings appears as the last
item on the menu), press the Enter, up arrow, and down arrow keys together.
(See “Advanced menu” on page B–7.)
Note
: If you need to check the device number of the unit you previously
configured, navigate to the Device Menu and view the Device Number screen.
See Figure 3-2, “Complete Configuration Menus” on page 3–4. Note that the
entire Device Menu is only visible when the Display Mode is set to Advanced.
