Operating The Freedom SW 3000

Safe

IMPORTANT: Before installing or removing a device on the network, put the network into Safe mode. Putting the network into safe mode prevents unexpected behavior.

Characteristics Selecting Safe mode stops the generator (if it is running) and puts the SCP (and all Xanbus-enabled devices) into Safe mode. While in Safe mode, the SCP remains powered, “listening” to and reporting its status to the network. However, the output power of all Xanbus-enabled devices is disabled and all inverting, charging, and generator starting activity stops. In Safe mode, the Freedom SW 3000 will not transfer AC power from a source.

In Safe mode, the Freedom SW 3000 continues to communicate, but the inverting and charging functions are disabled.

When to use Use Safe mode when you are adding or removing devices from the network. Authorized service personnel must also put the SCP in Safe mode before performing software upgrades and diagnostics with the Xantrex Diagnostic Tool.

If the SCP is powered off while in Safe mode, it will be in Safe mode when it is powered up again.

To return to Operating mode:

On the System Settings menu, under Desired Mode, select “Operating.”
