Communication Methods

Introduction

Communication Methods

The PV100S communicates system status information to the user using the following methods.

•The Front Panel Control Unit (UFCU) Display

•PC Connection (Direct or Remote) - Xantrex Solar Graphic User Interface (GUI) Software required. Communication with a PC requires the selection of one of the following options.

•Remote Connection -- This method has three options available. One of these options will be field-installed prior to commissioning.

•POTS Connection

•Wireless Connection

•Ethernet LAN Connection

•Direct Connection -- This method is most commonly used by field technicians for commissioning and troubleshooting purposes.

Important: The customer is responsible for providing the appropriate support service to support a PC connection. (i.e., making arrangements for an analog phone line, data line, wireless service or local area network.)

Universal Front Panel Control Unit (UFCU)

The UFCU keypad is located on the front of the Main Inverter Enclosure to manipulate and view system operation and status.

The keypad is comprised of 20 touch-sensitive keys that provide a means to navigate through the menus and alter user-changeable settings.
