Startup Behavior
When powering on the Xanbus system for the first time, the System
Control Panel displays a fault message asking you to set the clock before
proceeding. For procedures for setting the clock, see “Setting the time” on
page 4–7 and “Setting the date” on page 4–8.
System Modes
The system modes described in this section affect the performance and
behavior of the System Control Panel and all other Xanbus-enabled
devices. You will have to change the system mode when putting your
system in storage or when installing a new Xanbus-enabled device.
Changing system modes
System modes are changed using the System Settings menu (see “Using
the System Settings Menu” on page 4–9). The four system modes are:
• Operating
•Safe
Please read the section about each system mode to find out which mode is
appropriate for different conditions or situations.
Operating mode
Characteristics The basic state of the System Control Panel is Operating mode. In
Operating mode, the System Control Panel communicates with other
Xanbus-enabled devices and displays all the network information it is
configured to display.
Safe mode
Characteristics Selecting Safe mode stops the generator (if it is running) and puts the
System Control Panel (and all Xanbus-enabled devices) into Safe mode.
While in Safe mode, the System Control Panel 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.
When to use Use Safe mode when you are adding or removing devices from the
network. Authorized service personnel must also put the System Control
Panel in Safe mode before performing software upgrades and diagnostics.
