Installing Xantrex Xanbus-Enabled Devices
If you are installing a Xantrex Xanbus-enabled device on an existing Xantrex
Xanbus System, put the system in Standby mode using the System Settings
menu on the Xantrex XW System Control Panel.
To install the Xantrex Xanbus-enabled devices:
1. Determine and prepare the location for each device. Refer to the installation
procedure for each device elsewhere in this manual.
2. Determine and measure the required cable length, taking into consideration
your network layout, the routing, and strain relief requirements. Do not
exceed the total recommended cable length of 130 feet (40 meters).
3. Mount the devices according to the installation procedure elsewhere in
this guide.
4. Use an appropriate length of Xantrex Xanbus cable to connect each device
and (if used) 3-way network connector.
5. Insert a terminator into the open network port of the Xantrex Xanbus-enabled
device at each end of the network. See Figure 3-3.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
Connect only to other Xantrex 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 Xantrex Xanbus to different systems.
Important: Mount cables and network connectors in a dry location.
CAUTION: Unpredictable device behavior
After connecting the Xantrex Xanbus-enabled devices and terminating the
network, do not plug terminators or other cables into any remaining open network
ports on any Xantrex Xanbus-enabled devices.
Do not connect one end of the network to the other to make a ring.
