Operate mode
Characteristics In Operate mode, all communications are enabled on the Xanbus System.
All power conversion functions are enabled. Each device is monitoring
and communicating its input.
The default mode of any Xanbus-enabled device is Operate mode.
Whenever any device on the Xanbus System is powered on or reset, it
will be in Operate Mode, as shown in Figure 17.
Safe Mode
See “Putting the System in Safe Mode” on page 16 for more information.
Power Save mode
Characteristics Power Save mode minimizes power drawn by the Xanbus-enabled
devices. Power Save mode stops all communication on the network,
putting the system to “sleep” until it receives a command to “wake up”
again.
When to use Use Power Save mode during periods when your power needs are
minimal—while you are driving, for example. Putting the system in
Power Save mode will help preserve the charge in your batteries during
periods of minimal power usage.
Entering and exiting Power Save mode also serves as a reset command for
the system.
To enter or exit Power Save mode:
◆ Press and hold the red System button on the System Control Panel for
at least one second.
When the system enters Power Save mode, the screen on the System
Control Panel goes blank and the backlight turns off.
You can also enter Power Save mode on the System Settings menu by
selecting Desired Mode, scrolling to PowerSave as shown in Figure 18,
and pressing Enter.
