Commissioning
Use the SCP to commission a charge controller. For information about SCP
navigation and menus, see the appendix, “Xantrex XW System Control Panel
Menus” in the Xantrex XW MPPT 80 600 Solar Charge Controller Operation
Guide. Before you begin, make sure you have important system information such
as the nominal battery voltage, battery type, and battery bank capacity available.
If you are commissioning one charge controller, follow these procedures:
1. “Setting the Device Number” on page 2–22
2. “Configuring Connections and Charger Settings” on page 2–23
3. “Starting the Unit” on page 2–25
If you are commissioning multiple charge controllers, follow these procedures:
1. “Setting the Device Number” on page 2–22
2. “Configuring Connections and Charger Settings” on page 2–23
3. “Copying Settings to Another Charge Controller” on page 2–24
4. “Starting the Unit” on page 2–25
When commissioning multiple charge controllers on the same Xanbus network,
make sure to set a unique device number and the correct battery connection for
each charge controller. The connection is important to define so that system
totals and other related information are displayed accurately.
Setting the Device Number
To set a device number for the charge controller:
1. Make sure an SCP is attached to the charge controller’s Xanbus network.
2. Close the DC disconnect (or use a selector switch to apply battery power to
all charge controllers at the same time if commissioning multiple charge
controllers). When a charge controller is powered up, it will detect that an
SCP is already operating on the network and be ready for configuration
through the SCP. Do not apply PV power at this point.
3. On the SCP’s System Status home screen, press Enter.
The Select Device menu opens.
4. Use the arrow buttons to scroll to the charge controller to configure, and then
press Enter. Each charge controller appears as XW MPPT80 xx, where xx is
its device number.
The Setup menu opens.
5. To display the Advanced Settings menu item press the Enter, up arrow,
and down arrow buttons simultaneously.
