CAUTION

If you remove the unit's cover, use proper static control techniques to avoid damage to static-sensitive components on the printed circuit board.

You can customize remote operation settings for OVP (over voltage protection) control and TTL shutdown by changing jumper positions on the RS-232 PCB. Refer to the operating manual for information on how to use over voltage protection and TTL shutdown.

OVP Over voltage protection (OVP) on the RS-232 interface is set at the factory for Selection remote software operation. When operating the power supply in remote mode, you

control the OVP trip level using the OVSET software command. If you return the power supply to local operation by using the LOC software command, control of the OVP trip level changes from software control to the front panel OVP potentiometer. The default OVP trip level is set as 110% of the power supply's rated output voltage. See Table 2.11, on page 26 for a complete list of remote power ON default settings.

You can isolate the location of OVP control by changing the positions of the Local OVP Control jumper J95 and the Remote OVP Control jumper J217, both on the RS-232 interface PCB. The default jumper settings allow control of OVP to depend on the operating state of the power supply. By physically changing the jumper settings, you can isolate the location of OVP control to software control only or front panel control only. Table 2.13 shows the jumper settings and OVP programming selection. Refer to “Basic Setup Procedure” on page 19 for the positions of the jumpers on the RS-232 PCB.

RS232-XT, RS232-HPD specifications

Xantrex Technology has made significant strides in the field of power electronics, particularly with its RS232-HPD and RS232-XT communication interfaces. These devices are designed to enhance the efficiency and reliability of power management systems, providing users with advanced features and robust technologies.

The RS232-HPD (High Power Device) is optimized for high-performance applications, enabling seamless communication between power devices and control systems. One of its key features is its compatibility with a wide range of power inverters and converters, making it suitable for diverse applications including renewable energy systems, industrial automation, and marine power solutions. The RS232-HPD supports higher baud rates, allowing for faster data transmission and improved responsiveness in monitoring and control operations.

On the other hand, the RS232-XT (Extended Temperature) variant takes durability to the next level. It is designed to operate in extreme temperature conditions, which is crucial for applications located in harsh environments. The RS232-XT retains all the fundamental benefits of the RS232-HPD while providing additional resilience against temperature fluctuations. This feature is particularly advantageous for outdoor installations, where temperature extremes can impact performance and reliability.

Both the RS232-HPD and RS232-XT are equipped with extensive diagnostic tools that enable users to monitor system performance in real-time. These tools include error detection algorithms and status monitoring, which help in identifying potential issues before they escalate. The user-friendly interface simplifies the setup process, making it accessible for both experienced users and those new to power system management.

A standout characteristic of these interfaces is their robust communication protocols, designed to ensure secure data transmission. With built-in protection against common electrical anomalies, such as voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference, the Xantrex RS232 series guarantees uninterrupted operation and data integrity.

Integration with existing systems is straightforward, thanks to their standard RS232 connectivity. This compatibility makes them ideal for retrofitting older systems without the need for significant infrastructure changes.

In conclusion, Xantrex Technology's RS232-HPD and RS232-XT interfaces are exemplary solutions for advanced power management, offering high performance, durability, and ease of use. Their innovative features and robust technologies solidify Xantrex's position as a leader in the power electronics market.
