Commissioning Units Using a Xantrex XW System Control Panel
In systems where a Xantrex XW System Control Panel (Xantrex XW SCP) is
present, the Xantrex XW SCP is intended to be the configuration interface.
For information about Xantrex XW SCP navigation and menus, see Appendix B,
“Xantrex XW System Control Panel Menus” in the Xantrex XW Solar Charge
Controller Owner’s Guide.
Commissioning units using a Xantrex XW SCP involves three separate procedures:
1. Setting the Device Numbers for all Xantrex XW SCCs.
2. Configuring Connections and Charger Settings for the first Xantrex XW SCC.
3. Copying settings from the first unit to the other Xantrex XW SCC.
To set the Device Numbers for all Xantrex XW Solar Charge Controllers:
1. Ensure power is applied to the Xantrex XW System Control Panel.
2. Close the DC disconnect or use a selector switch to apply battery power to
all of the Xantrex XW SCCs at the same time. When the Xantrex XW SCCs are
powered up, they will detect that a Xantrex XW SCP is already operating on
the network, and be ready for configuration through the Xantrex XW SCP.
Do not apply PV power at this point.
3. From the Select Device menu on the Xantrex XW SCP, select a Xantrex XW
Solar Charge Controller (each unit should appear as “MPPT60 00” where the
60 stands for 60A, and the 00 is its device number).
4. On the MPPT Setup menu, ensure the Advanced Settings item is displayed.
If Advanced Settings are not displayed (and Basic Settings appears as the
last item on the menu), press the up arrow, down arrow and Exit keys
together. (For more information about Advanced Settings, see Appendix B in
the Xantrex XW Solar Charge Controller Owner’s Guide.)
5. Select Advanced Settings, then select the Multi Unit Config menu.
After entering the Multi Unit Config menu, the LCD backlight on the Xantrex
XW Solar Charge Controller to be configured will flash.
6. On the Multi Unit Config menu, select Dev Number and set it to a number
other than 00. Press Enter to confirm the new device number.
The device number can be set to any number between 01 and 31. For the
first Xantrex XW Solar Charge Controller, 01 is recommended. If you have
two charge controllers, simply set them to 01 and 02.
7. Press Exit until the Select Device menu is displayed.
The Xantrex XW Solar Charge Controller now appears as MPPT60 01 on
the menu.
8. Repeat steps 3 through 7 for the next Xantrex XW Solar Charge Controller.
When you have set the device number for all Xantrex XW Solar Charge
Controllers, you can configure Connections and Charger Settings for the first
Xantrex XW Solar Charge Controller.
