Certification and Marine Use

The System Control Panel is certified to applicable CSA 107.1 and UL 458 requirements, including the UL 458 Marine Supplement. It also complies with FCC Part 15B Class B and Canadian ICES-003 Class B electromagnetic-compatibility requirements.

Installation aboard a vessel must follow the Xantrex instructions and applicable marine electrical requirements for mounting, network wiring, cable routing and environmental protection.

Fitment Notice

Confirm the inverter/charger model and existing Xanbus network before ordering. Part number 809-0921 is not a universal analogue remote panel and does not connect through a conventional telephone-control cable.

Xanbus uses network-style connectors, but the system must be wired with compatible Xanbus network cables and properly terminated according to the Xantrex installation instructions. Do not connect the panel to Ethernet, telephone or other non-Xanbus equipment solely because the connector appears similar.

When This Product Needs Replacement

Inspect or replace the System Control Panel if:

• The display no longer illuminates or shows readable information
• Keypad buttons fail to respond
• The panel repeatedly loses communication with known-good Xanbus devices
• Fault or status information is incomplete or corrupted
• The housing, connector or mounting points are damaged
• Moisture intrusion or corrosion is visible

Before replacing the panel, inspect the Xanbus cables, network terminators, connectors and power-system configuration. A failed cable or improperly terminated network can produce symptoms similar to a defective control panel.

Installation Notes

Mount the panel in a dry, accessible location where the display can be read and the controls operated easily. Route the Xanbus cable away from sharp edges, high-temperature surfaces and sources of mechanical damage.

The panel may be connected at a suitable point in the Xanbus network using compatible cables such as:

• Xantrex 25-foot Xanbus network cable – 809-0940
• Xantrex 75-foot Xanbus network cable – 809-0942

Follow the Xantrex owner’s guide for network layout, termination and device configuration. The panel contains no user-serviceable internal components.

Alternate Part Numbers

• Xantrex manufacturer part number: 809-0921
• Unhyphenated catalogue reference: 8090921
• Distributor catalogue reference: 262-8090921

The “262” prefix is a distributor catalogue identifier; the Xantrex product number remains 809-0921.

Parts Desk Insight

This panel offers substantially more control than the basic Freedom SW on/off remote. Choose the 809-0921 when the installation requires access to inverter, charger, battery and network settings, system diagnostics or control of multiple connected Xanbus devices. It is required to configure custom lithium battery profiles on compatible Freedom SW inverter/chargers.
