Operating The Freedom SW 3000

Safe

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.”

Putting the System into Safe Mode

When you are installing or

removing devices from the Xanbus system, putting the system into Safe
mode prevents unexpected behavior.

1.

On the Select Device menu, use the down arrow button to highlight
System.
The cursor on the right of the screen indicates where you are in the
menu.

2.

Press Enter.
The System Settings menu appears.

3.

On the System Settings menu, with Desired Mode highlighted, press
Enter.

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.
