2 Installation Chapter 2 contains information and procedures for planning and performing a Xantrex XW System Control Panel installation, including: • Materials and tools required • Choosing a location • Choosing a network layout • Mounting the unit • Connecting the Xantrex XW SCP to other devices.
Installation Installing the Xantrex XW System Control Panel The Xantrex XW System Control Panel is designed to be wall mounted (see page 2–7), and requires no connections other than Xantrex Xanbus network cables or a terminator plugged into the back of the unit. Because you cannot access the Xantrex XW SCP network inputs once the unit is mounted, the Xantrex Xanbus cables must be routed through the wall and connected before securing the Xantrex XW SCP.
Network Installation Network Installation This section describes requirements for installing the Xantrex XW SCP as part of a Xantrex Xanbus network-managed power system. For the system to function properly, requirements for network layout and termination must be followed.
Installation • Network terminators (Figure 2-2)—the Xantrex Xanbus network must be properly terminated at each end with network terminators. If the network is not properly terminated, signal quality is degraded and performance on the network is reduced. Permanent configuration without terminators is not supported by Schneider Electric. One terminator is included with the Xantrex XW SCP. Depending on your network layout, this terminator may need to be inserted into another device elsewhere in the network.
Network Installation Guidelines for Routing the Xantrex Xanbus Cables WARNING: Shock hazard : Do not route the Xantrex Xanbus cables in the same conduit or panel as the AC and DC power cabling. To ensure maximum performance of your network, follow these guidelines when routing the Xantrex Xanbus cables. Route the cables before installing the Xantrex XW SCP. • Route the cables away from sharp edges that might damage the insulation. Avoid sharp bends in the cable—no less than a 100 mm radius.
Installation Connecting Xantrex Xanbus Cables Follow these guidelines for connecting Xantrex Xanbus cables to the Xantrex XW SCP. The cables are connected to the Xantrex XW SCP at the same time the Xantrex XW SCP is mounted. Read “Mounting the Xantrex XW SCP” on page 2–7 before performing the following procedures. CAUTION: Equipment damage : Connect the Xantrex XW SCP only to other Xantrex Xanbus-enabled devices.
Mounting the Xantrex XW SCP Mounting the Xantrex XW SCP The Xantrex XW SCP can be mounted three ways: • Flush mounted through an opening in a wall using the mounting plate • Surface mounted using the mounting bracket • Flush mounted through an opening in a wall and secured with four #6 screws. WARNING: Shock hazard Before making an opening in a wall or panel, ensure there is no wiring or other obstruction within the wall.
Installation 3. Insert the mounting plate with the two tabs in a vertical position into the hole (see Figure 2-4). Tabs in vertical position Figure 2-4 Inserting the Mounting Plate 4. Secure the mounting plate by tightening the two screws to rotate the tabs to the horizontal position (see Figure 2-5) and pull the tabs tight against the inner surface of the wall. Be careful not to overtighten the screws and damage the wall.
Mounting the Xantrex XW SCP 5. Connect the Xantrex Xanbus cable(s) (and terminator if necessary) to either network input on the back of the Xantrex XW SCP. See Figure 2-6. Connect a network terminator to the Xantrex XW SCP if it is the last device at the end of a daisy chain network layout. Important: To ensure communication signal quality, the network must be terminated at each end with a terminator. Figure 2-6 Connecting the Network Cables 6.
Installation To flush mount the Xantrex XW SCP with no mounting plate: 1. Peel the backing from the supplied mounting template sticker and place it in your chosen installation location. Use the template to mark the location for the area to be cut out. 2. Pilot-drill the mounting holes (if necessary, depending on your mounting surface) and, using a jigsaw, cut out the hole in which the Xantrex XW SCP will be inserted. 3.
Verifying the Installation Figure 2-8 Surface Mounting the Xantrex XW SCP Verifying the Installation If network power (from an inverter/charger or external power supply) is present, the LCD backlight comes on and the Xantrex XW SCP shows the startup screen (see page 3–3). When the Xantrex XW SCP is started up on the Xantrex Xanbus system for the first time, it displays a fault message asking you to set the clock before proceeding.
