Introduction Complete system control The Xanbus SCP provides configuration and monitoring capability for a Xanbus system. The SCP: • Monitors activity throughout your power system. • Displays the settings and status of each Xanbus-enabled device. • Enables you to adjust settings for each Xanbus-enabled device. System component The Xanbus SCP is part of a network communications protocol developed by Xantrex, to communicate its settings and activity to other Xanbus-enabled devices.
Introduction Operational Features Other features of the SCP include: • Time and date—has an internal clock that keeps time for the entire system. • Audible alarm—if enabled, alerts you to a low battery condition in the system and notifies you when a fault condition arises. • Low power consumption—automatically turns off the backlight and displays a screensaver after a period of inactivity to minimize battery drain.

Mechanical Features The SCP has important features on the front and back of the unit. Features on the front of the SCP are the display, indicator lights, and buttons for selecting device menus and changing settings (see Figure 1). The back of the unit features the inputs where the SCP connects to the Xanbus system (see Figure 2). Front panel features 10 1 2 3 4 Item Description 1 AC In/Charge light (green) indicates qualified AC is present at the input of an inverter/charger or charger.
Mechanical Features Back panel features Two network connector inputs on the back panel let you connect the SCP to other Xanbus-enabled devices. See Figure 2.
Mechanical Features System Components The Xanbus system includes the SCP and other Xanbus-enabled devices. Each device interacts and communicates with the other devices. In Figure 3, network connections are represented by dotted lines and conventional electrical connections are represented by solid lines.
Xanbus System Control Panel Installation The Xanbus System Control Panel (SCP) is designed to be wall mounted and requires no connections other than Xanbus network cables or a terminator plugged into the back of the unit. Because you cannot access the SCP network inputs once the unit is mounted, the Xanbus cables must be routed through the wall and connected before securing the SCP. Materials and Tools Required Choose a location that allows unobstructed access to the SCP screen and buttons.
Xanbus System Control Panel Installation Network Components A Xanbus network consists of the following components: • Xanbus-enabled devices—these include the SCP, the Freedom SW Series Inverter/Charger, AGS (Xanbus AGS), and Freedom Sequence. The network can consist of up to eight Xanbus-enabled devices. A typical Freedom SW Power System can include three Freedom SW inverter/chargers, one power manager, one AGS and one SCP.
Xanbus System Control Panel Installation Network Layout Xanbus-enabled devices are linked with separate lengths of Xanbus cable, depending on the distances between the components. To ensure communication signal quality, each end of the network must be terminated. The Xanbus-enabled devices at each end of the network must have a male terminator inserted into their open network ports. If the SCP is the last device on the network, the open port on the SCP must be terminated.
Xanbus System Control Panel Installation Connecting Xanbus Cables Follow these guidelines for connecting Xanbus cables to the SCP. The cables are connected to the SCP at the same time the SCP is mounted. Read “Mounting the System Control Panel” on page 11 before performing the following procedures. 4. Ensure that male network terminators are inserted into the empty inputs in the Xanbus-enabled devices at the beginning and end of the network.
Xanbus System Control Panel Installation Mounting the System Control Panel The SCP can be flush mounted through an opening in a wall and secured with four mounting screws. ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Before making an opening in a wall or panel, ensure there is no wiring or other obstruction within the wall. To flush mount the SCP: 1. Take out the mounting template. Use the template to mark the location for the area to be cut out. 2.
Xanbus System Control Panel Installation 4. 5. 6. Route the Xanbus cable(s) from other Xanbus-enabled devices inside the wall and through the opening. Connect the Xanbus cable(s) (and terminator if necessary) to either network input on the back of the SCP. Connect a network terminator to the 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. See Figure 3 on page 6. 7.
Xanbus-Enabled Device Configuration Using the SCP The SCP can display and change the settings for any Xanbus-enabled device in the Xanbus system. Using SCP Buttons The SCP has four buttons for moving between status screens and menus, highlighting settings you want to change, selecting and changing configurable values for Xanbus-enabled devices. Button Function Enter • • Down and Up arrow buttons: • Scrolls down (up) one line of text. • Decreases (increases) a selected value.

Operation of the Xanbus System Control Panel System Modes The system modes described in this section affect the performance and behavior of the SCP and all other Xanbus-enabled devices. You will have to change the system mode when putting your system in storage or when installing a new Xanbus-enabled device. Changing System Modes System modes are changed using the System Settings menu (see “Using the System Settings Menu” on page 23). The system modes are: • Operating and • Standby.
Operation of the Xanbus System Control Panel Using the STBY/ON Fault Clear Button Warnings and Faults The STBY/ON Fault Clear button has two functions. This section describes how fault and warning messages behave, and what you should do when they appear. For a complete list of fault and warning messages specific to the SCP, along with recommended actions to correct the fault or warning condition, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 31.
Operation of the Xanbus System Control Panel Types Clearing Warning Messages There are two types of warning messages: manual and automatic. Each differs in its behavior and appearance. For a list of SCP warnings and their associated types, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 31. If you see a warning message on the SCP, you will have to acknowledge it and (if necessary) clear it. Acknowledging the warning allows you to continue operating the SCP.
Operation of the Xanbus System Control Panel To view the warning list: 1. On the Select Device menu, highlight System Settings and press Enter. 2. On the System Settings menu, highlight View Warning List and press Enter. Warning Log: 250 May/13 252 May/10 250 Apr/30 250 Apr/28 XSCP 10:58PM 10:15AM 4:06PM 12:00PM Viewing the SCP Warning Log The SCP warning log displays the 20 most recent warnings that the SCP generated. These warnings can be both active and cleared.
Operation of the Xanbus System Control Panel Fault Messages Viewing the SCP Fault Log Fault messages appear when the SCP’s operation is affected by a condition that requires immediate attention. When a fault occurs, the SCP stops operating until either the fault condition goes away or until you manually clear the fault and take action to eliminate the fault condition. The fault log lists the most recent SCP faults, up to a total of 20.
Operation of the Xanbus System Control Panel Viewing Individual Fault Messages from the Fault Log Viewing Multiple Fault Messages On the fault log, you can also select an individual fault and view its details. To view details for a fault: If several faults occur before you can acknowledge or clear them, the SCP displays the accumulated messages on a fault list. The fault list displays messages from all network-enabled devices, not just the SCP.
Troubleshooting Types of Faults and Warnings The various types of fault and warning messages behave differently, and give you the option to treat them differently when they appear. For more information about the types of fault and warning messages, see “Types” on page 27 and “Types of fault messages” on page 29.
