System Components; Xanbus System - Xantrex Freedom SW Series Owner's Manual

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 9
