Reducing Tare Loss
To reduce power consumption at night, you can configure the charge controller to shut off
the Xanbus network power supply. You can change these settings using the Adv Features
menu item in the SCP.
To display the tare loss settings, select Advanced Settings > Adv Features.

Enabled
Disabled
Disabled
Enables or disables the Xanbus network power supply nighttime disconnect. If your system does
not require network communication at night, then set it to Enabled to turn off the power supply
automatically two hours after sunset, and then turn on again at sunrise. If your system requires
network communication at night, then leave it set to Disabled.
Lo Pwr
at Night
Enabled
Disabled
Enabled
Enables or disables the auxiliary power supply nighttime disconnect. Leaving the setting as
Enabled reduces tare losses during the night. In this case, if the PV voltage falls below 195V
for 2 minutes (at night, or if the PV disconnect is opened) the charge controller will go to sleep
and will not send updates over Xanbus. This gives the appearance that the unit is unresponsive.
The unit will wake briefly every 2 minutes to check the PV voltage and, if above 230V, will start
charging. If faster response is desired (eg. for configuring or troubleshooting) this feature may be
disabled.
