This guide is for use by qualified personnel only.
Connecting Network Cables Between Multiple Units
Dual knockouts on the back and sides of the charge controller are provided for
routing the Xanbus network cable (see Figure 2-4 on page 2–6). See Figure 2-8
on page 2–10 for the location of the charge controller’s Xanbus ports.
To connect network cables between multiple charge controllers:
1. Remove the wiring compartment cover from each charge controller (see
“Removing the Wiring Compartment Cover” on page 2–5).
2. Remove a knockout from the back or either side of the unit, and then install
an appropriately sized strain relief bushing for the network cable.
3. Connect the network cable to a Xanbus port in charge controller #1.
4. Route the cable to charge controller #2.
5. Connect the network cable to a Xanbus port in charge controller #2.
6. Connect another network cable to charge controller #2, and then route the
cable to the next device in the network.
7. Make sure the factory-supplied network terminators are inserted into the
empty Xanbus ports in the devices at the beginning and end of the network.
There should be no empty Xanbus ports in any of the charge controllers.
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Do not route the network cables in the same conduit or panel as the PV or
battery input and output cables, and make sure the network cables are not
intermingled with conductors from those systems.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
• Connect only Xanbus-enabled devices. Although the cabling and
connectors used in this network system are the same as ethernet
connectors, this network is not an ethernet system.
• Do not connect one end of the network to the other to make a ring or loop.
