monitoring capability for a Xanbus system. The System Control Panel:
•
•
•
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 System Control Panel uses Xanbus™, a network communications
protocol developed by Xantrex, to communicate its settings and activity
to other Xanbus-enabled devices.
Xanbus-enabled products are:
•
Easy to use. The Xanbus network simplifies operation and automates
routine tasks.
•
•
Reliable. Software control eliminates errors due to analog signaling.
Accurate. Digital information is less susceptible to interference and
line loss.
•
Upgradable. Software upgrades mean your purchase will remain up to
date.
Important: The System Control Panel is compatible with Xanbus-enabled
devices including RS, MS, TS and IS Series, and Freedom SW 3000 inverter/
chargers as well as the Xantrex Automatic Generator Start. The System Control
Panel is not compatible with Prosine, Freedom SW 2000, Freedom HW, and
Freedom HF, RV, or SW Series inverter/chargers from Xantrex.
System
requirements
The System Control Panel requires a Xanbus power supply to operate.
Network power is carried by the network cables, and can be supplied by a
Xanbus-enabled product (such as an inverter/charger) or an external
Xanbus power supply.
As a device that draws network power, the System Control Panel
consumes a maximum of 3 watts.
For detailed instructions and a complete list of Xanbus-enabled devices,

Installation
Installing the System Control Panel
The System Control Panel is designed to be flush mounted through an
opening in a wall and secured with four #6 screws. Use the supplied
mounting template to precisely mark the opening and screw hole
locations.
Planning an
installation
The System Control Panel requires no connections other than the network
cables that plug into the back of the unit. Because you cannot access the
network inputs once the unit is mounted, the network cables need to be
routed through the wall before securing the System Control Panel.
CAUTION
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 network cables to bend.
Refer to the Xanbus System Installation Guide for more information about
planning and installing a network that includes the System Control Panel.
Materials and
tools required
You will need these materials and tools to complete the installation:
❐ mounting template sticker (supplied)
❐ four #6 screws (supplied)
❐ Phillips head screwdriver
❐ jigsaw or small keyhole saw
❐ power drill with 1/8" bit (optional)
❐ Xantrex network cables or equivalent
Choosing a
location
Choose a location that is easily accessible. The System Control Panel
should be mounted where it is easily visible, with unobstructed access to
the screen and push buttons.
The location should be indoors, dry, and free from corrosive or explosive
fumes.
2–2
975-0083-01-01
Installing the System Control Panel
WARNING: Fire hazard
The System Control Panel is not ignition protected. Do not install in areas
requiring ignition-protected equipment.
WARNING: Shock hazard
Before making an opening in a wall, bulkhead, or panel, ensure there is no wiring
or other obstruction within the wall.
To mount the System Control Panel:
1. Peel the backing from the supplied mounting template sticker and
place it in your chosen installation location. Use the template to mark
locations for the mounting holes and 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
System Control Panel will be inserted.
3. Route the network cable(s) from other Xanbus-enabled devices inside
the wall and through the opening.
CAUTION: Equipment damage
Connect the System Control Panel only to other Xanbus compatible devices.
:
Although the cabling and connectors used in this network system are the same as
Ethernet connectors, this network is not an Ethernet system. Equipment
damage may result from attempting to connect these two different systems.
4. Connect the network cable(s) (and terminator if necessary) to either
input on the back of the System Control Panel. See Figure 2-1.
Connect one network cable and a network terminator to the System
Control Panel if it is the last device at the end of a daisy chain-type
network layout. Refer to the Xanbus System Installation Guide for
more information.

Startup Behavior
When powering on the Xanbus system for the first time, the System
Control Panel displays a fault message asking you to set the clock before
proceeding. For procedures for setting the clock, see “Setting the time” on
page 4–7 and “Setting the date” on page 4–8.
System Modes
The system modes described in this section affect the performance and
behavior of the System Control Panel and all other Xanbus-enabled
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 4–9). The four system modes are:
•
•
Operating
Safe
Please read the section about each system mode to find out which mode is
appropriate for different conditions or situations.
Operating mode
Characteristics
The basic state of the System Control Panel is Operating mode. In
Operating mode, the System Control Panel communicates with other
Xanbus-enabled devices and displays all the network information it is
configured to display.
Safe mode
Characteristics
Selecting Safe mode stops the generator (if it is running) and puts the
System Control Panel (and all Xanbus-enabled devices) into Safe mode.
While in Safe mode, the System Control Panel remains powered,
“listening” to and reporting its status to the network. However, the output
power of all Xanbus-enabled devices is disabled and all inverting,
charging, and generator starting activity stops.
When to use
Use Safe mode when you are adding or removing devices from the
network. Authorized service personnel must also put the System Control
Panel in Safe mode before performing software upgrades and diagnostics.
975-0083-01-01
5–7
Operation
If the System Control Panel is powered off while in Safe mode, it will be
in Safe mode when it is powered up again.
To return to Operating mode:
◆ On the System Settings menu, under Desired Mode, select
“Operating”.
Warnings and Faults
This section describes how fault and warning messages behave, and what
you should do when they appear. For a complete list of System Control
Panel fault and warning messages along with recommended actions to
correct the fault or warning condition, please refer to Chapter 6,
“Troubleshooting”.
Important: The System Control Panel displays fault and warning messages
for all Xanbus-enabled devices in the system. For information about fault and
warnings for other devices, refer to the Troubleshooting chapter in the Owner’s
Guide or Operation Guide for each device.
Warning messages
Warning messages will appear when the System Control Panel detects a
condition that may eventually affect its continued operation. When a
warning occurs, the System Control Panel will continue operating.
However, you should consult the Troubleshooting chapter to find out
what actions you can take to prevent the warning from escalating into a
fault.

975-0083-01-01
Warnings and Faults
If you see a warning message on the System Control Panel, you will have
to acknowledge it and (if necessary) clear it. Acknowledging the warning
allows you to continue operating the System Control Panel. Clearing the
warning message stops the warning condition from escalating into a fault.
Acknowledging warning messages
Automatic
warnings
Acknowledging an automatic warning message removes the message
from the System Control Panel screen.
To acknowledge an automatic warning message, press Enter. After you
acknowledge the warning, the System Control Panel displays the menu
for the device that caused the warning.
The System Control Panel will remove an unacknowledged automatic
warning message from the screen after three minutes. However, if the
condition that caused the warning still exists, the warning message will
reappear.
You can view a list of the last 20 warning messages from the System
Control Panel on the Warning log. See “Viewing the System Control
Panel warning log” on page 5–10.
Manual
warnings
A manual warning message requires you to make a choice (usually by
pressing Enter for “yes” or Exit for “no”) before you can proceed
monitoring or configuring the System Control Panel. It will not disappear
after three minutes. After you respond to the warning message the System
Control Panel will clear the warning message and return to the screen it
was displaying before the warning message appeared.
Clearing warning messages
Automatic warning messages clear when the warning condition on the
System Control Panel disappears or when the criteria for clearing the
warning are met.
You can clear a manual warning message by pressing Enter or Exit in
response to the message.
Viewing multiple warning messages
If several warning messages occur before you can acknowledge or clear
them, they are displayed together on a warning list. The warning list
contains messages from every Xanbus-enabled device, not just the
System Control Panel. You can select a message from the warning list
and view its details.

Warranty and Return Information
Warranty
What does this warranty cover and how long does it last? This Limited Warranty is provided by

will be required to demonstrate proof of purchase to make warranty claims.
This Limited Warranty is transferable to subsequent owners but only for the unexpired portion of the Warranty
Period. Subsequent owners also require original proof of purchase as described in “What proof of purchase is
required?”
What will Xantrex do? During the Warranty Period Xantrex will, at its option, repair the product (if
economically feasible) or replace the defective product free of charge, provided that you notify Xantrex
of the product defect within the Warranty Period, and provided that Xantrex through inspection
establishes the existence of such a defect and that it is covered by this Limited Warranty.
Xantrex will, at its option, use new and/or reconditioned parts in performing warranty repair and
building replacement products. Xantrex reserves the right to use parts or products of original or
improved design in the repair or replacement. If Xantrex repairs or replaces a product, its warranty
continues for the remaining portion of the original Warranty Period or 90 days from the date of the
return shipment to the customer, whichever is greater. All replaced products and all parts removed from
repaired products become the property of Xantrex.
