Guidelines for Routing the Xanbus Cables
To ensure maximum performance of your network, follow these guidelines when
routing the Xanbus cables.
• Route the cables away from sharp edges that might damage the insulation.
Avoid sharp bends in the cable—no less than a 4-inch (100 mm) radius.
• Allow at least 2 ¼ inches (57 mm) of space behind the wall to accommodate
the depth of the unit and allow room for the cables to bend.
• Allow for some slack in the cable tension.
• Keep the alignment of wire pairs inside the sheath as straight as possible.
• Allow separation between data and power cables (data cables should only
cross over a power cable at right angles).
• Avoid using metal cable staples. Use appropriate hardware fasteners to
avoid damage to the cable.
• Support horizontal cables using J hooks or cable trays.
The total length of the network, including all connected Xanbus-enabled devices
and the Conext XW+ Inverter/Charger, cannot exceed 130 feet (40 m).
Note: In a dual-inverter system, install an AC Sync Cable from INV1 to INV2. In a
triple-inverter system, daisy-chain an AC Sync Cable from INV1 to INV2 and from
INV2 to INV3.
WARNING
XANBUS SHOCK HAZARD
Xanbus cables in contact with DC or AC power can transmit an electric shock.
Do not route the Xanbus cables in the same conduit or panel as the AC and
DC power cabling.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
