Operate Mode
Characteristics In Operate mod e, all co mm un ic ati ons are enabl ed o n the Xan bus sys t em . Al l
power conversion functions are enabled. Each Xanbus-enabled device is
monitoring and communicating its input.
The basic state of the System Control Panel is Oper at e mo de. In Ope rat e mod e ,
the System Control Panel communicates with other Xanbus-enabled devices and
displays all the network information which it is configured to display.
Whenever the System Control Panel or any other device on the Xanbus system is
powered on or reset, it will be in Operate mode.
Power Save Mode
Characteristics Power Save mode minimizes power draw by the System Control Panel and other
Xanbus-enabled devices on the Xanbus system. Power Save mode stops all
communication on the network, and disables the power conversion functions of
Xanbus devices. For example, in Power Save mode, the inverter/charger will not
invert and an Automatic Generator Start will not start a generator.
When to use Use Power Save mode during periods when your power needs are minimal.
Putting the system in Power Save mode will help preserve the charge in your
batteries during periods of minimal power usage.
Entering and exiting Power Save mode also serves as a “reset” command for the
system.
If there are active faults in the system, you cannot put the system into Power Sav e
mode. Clear any active fault, correct the condition that caused the fault, then put
the system into Power Save mode.
To enter or exit Power Save mode:
◆Press and hold the System button on the System Control Panel for one second.
After you release the System button, the System Control Panel screen and
indicator lights will turn off.
