Xantrex Technology PS2.5, PS3.0 ACS Configuration Considerations

Section 3: Configuration

ACS Configuration Considerations

ACS Configuration settings override the DIP switch settings discussed above. If your unit has been configured using the ACS control panel, it will retain these configuration settings even after the ACS has been disconnected. The physical position of the DIP switches does not necessarily indicate the setting. To reset the configuration settings to the DIP switch settings, perform these actions:

•Change all the DIP switches to the alternate setting.

•Wait at least 20 seconds for the Prosine to recognize the new setting.

•Change the DIP switches to the desired setting.

•Wait at least another 20 seconds for the desired setting to be recognized.
