System Components

The Freedom SW uses Xanbus, a network communications protocol
developed to communicate the Freedom SW's settings and activity to other
Xanbus-enabled devices.
You can configure and monitor the Freedom SW and every Xanbus-enabled
device in the system using an optional Xanbus System Control Panel (SCP).
Another component is the optional Xanbus Automatic Generator Start
(AGS) which allows operation with a wide range of generators, supported
through a dedicated generator input. Simply, the AGS automatically starts
and stops your generator.
The Freedom Sequence Intelligent Power Manager is a fully integrated
power management system that provides automatic power and load
management for use in recreational vehicles (RV) while receiving power
from a generator or shore power. This device works in the background to
prevent monitored AC loads from exceeding shore and generator breaker
capacity.
See "Xanbus-enabled Products and Accessories" on page 7 for part
numbers.

Xanbus System

The Xanbus system includes the Freedom SW and other Xanbus-enabled
devices. The Freedom SW is the device in a Xanbus system that typically
provides network power—500 mA at 12 volts DC. All of the Xanbus-
enabled devices, such as the Freedom SW, the SCP, and the AGS are able to
communicate their settings and activity to each other. See Figure 1.
