About the Xanbus System

The Xanbus system includes the Freedom SW 3000 Inverter/Charger and other Xanbus-enabled devices, as shown in Figure 1, “Typical Xanbus System Diagram”. Each Xanbus-enabled device interacts and communicates with the other devices on the network, creating a power system that can be precisely configured to your needs.

The Freedom SW 3000 is the device that typically provides power in a Xanbus system. The System Control Panel (SCP) provides configuration and monitoring capability for each device connected to the Xanbus system, such as the Automatic Generator Start (AGS) and the Freedom SW 3000.

In Figure 1, network connections are represented by dotted lines and conventional electrical connections are represented by solid lines. Your system requirements may be more complex than the basic installation shown in Figure 1. Xantrex recommends that you consult a qualified installer or electrican to customize your installation to meet your requirements.
