Using the Setup Menus

Basic menu

The XW Inverter/Charger configuration settings can be viewed in Basic and 

Advanced formats (see Figure 3-3, “Basic and Advanced Settings” on page 3–6). 

The Basic settings include configuration items you may have to adjust routinely, 

or as part of initial setup.

Advanced menu

The Advanced settings option gives you access to the full range of settings for the 

XW Inverter/Charger, including everything displayed on the Basic menu. As a 

safeguard against unintended advanced configuration, the XW Inverter/Charger 

displays the Basic settings by default. To view the Advanced settings, you must 

perform a special keypress.

To view the Advanced settings:

u Press Enter + up arrow + down arrow at the same time.

The XW Inverter/Charger Advanced settings include menus for configuring:

•

Inverter settings (see page 3–7)

•

Charger settings (see page 3–10)

•

AC transfer limit settings (see page 3–16)

•

Grid Support and Peak Load Shaving settings (see page 3–17)

•

Generator Support settings (see page 3–21)

•

Auxiliary output settings (see page 3–21).

•

Multi-Unit Operation, including customizing the default model name of the 

inverter/charger, and setting its network device number. Setting the device 

number is important when multiple XW Inverter/Chargers are on the Xanbus 

network and sharing connections such as AC loads, utility grid, and generator. 

The device number is also used when configuring paralleled XW Inverter/

Chargers for master-slave operation (see page 3–7).

In the Advanced settings you can also copy another unit’s settings using the 

“Copy from” command.

WARNING: Risk of fire and shock hazard

The Advanced settings are intended for qualified installation/service personnel only. 

Incorrect configuration can lead to battery damage and risk of fire.

Consult the local utility before changing any Grid Support settings. Before changing XW 

Inverter/Charger settings, you must be familiar with the settings and the system-wide 

impact of changing those settings. Setting these parameters incorrectly could damage 

connected equipment (such as batteries) or could severely affect the performance of your 

system.

Notes:

•

This keypress enables the Advanced settings for every device in the system.

•

After performing the keypress, “Advanced Settings” appears at the top of the Setup 

menu. When the keypress is performed again, the Setup menu displays “Basic 

Settings” as the last item on the menu.
