Power Sources for the Conext ComBox

Conext ComBox with Remote Access

You can access the web user interface for the Conext ComBox from a remote computer using the Internet. The Conext ComBox must be connected to a router. The router firewall settings must allow port forwarding, which allows the remote computer to access the Conext ComBox using the router’s IP address and the port number for the Conext ComBox.

Note: There is a security risk in port forwarding unencrypted network traffic over a public network (Internet). It is recommended you use a VPN or a secure tunnel to route Conext ComBox communication via the Internet.

Power Sources for the Conext ComBox

The Conext ComBox consumes an average of 2 W under most operating conditions and up to 10 W maximum. The power sources connected to the Conext ComBox must be capable of providing this power requirement.

There are three power sources for the Conext ComBox:

AC/DC power adapter (supplied)

Freedom SW inverter/charger via CAT5 or CAT5e cable (Xanbus cable)

24 V DC power input connections on the RS 485 Modbus connector

All three sources can be used alone or simultaneously. Typically, the supplied

AC/DC power adapter is used as a primary source with either a Xanbus or a

RS 485 Modbus connection as secondary sources.

Note: Modbus support is available only for the Conext ComBox (Part Number 865-1058), and Conext Modbus Converter (Part Number 865-1059), used with Schneider Electric Conext series inverter products.

The RS 485 Modbus connector supplied with this Conext ComBox – Freedom

SW (Part Number 809- 0918), is not required for operation or supported by

Xantrex technical support.
