Introduction
System Requirements
Minimum basic system components include the following:
❐Freedom SW Series Inverter/Charger
❐AC Generator or DC Generator
❐Xanbus System Control Panel (SCP)
❐Xanbus Automatic Generator Start (AGS)
Network Communication Protocol The AGS uses Xanbus, a network communications protocol developed by Xantrex, to communicate its settings and activity to other
Network Power Supply The Xanbus AGS requires three watts of power (maximum) to operate. This power supply is provided by the Freedom SW Series Inverter/Charger through the Xanbus network.
Generator The generator should be a
The generator should also supply a Generator Run signal. The Generator Run signal is connected to the Xanbus AGS and used by the Xanbus AGS to detect whether the generator is running. Some generator manufacturers refer to this signal as the Hour Meter Signal or Switched B+.
Connecting the Generator Run signal is optional and only used for redundancy. The Xanbus AGS requests generator voltage from the Xanbus in addition to checking the Generator Run signal to detect if the generator is running.
Generator Compatibility The Xanbus AGS supports most two and
Xanbus System Control Panel (SCP) A Xanbus System Control Panel (SCP) is required to configure the AGS and monitor generator starting and stopping activity.
The Xanbus System Control Panel (SCP) also provides
