A Important Safety Information B Materials List
This Guide is intended for anyone who needs to operate, configure, and troubleshoot the Conext System Control Panel
(SCP). Certain configuration tasks should only be performed by qualified personnel in consultation with your local utility Conext SCP

and/or an authorized dealer. Electrical equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained only by
qualified personnel. Servicing of batteries must only be performed or supervised by qualified personnel with knowledge Event/Warning Standby MOUNTING TEMPLATE

Event/Warning Standby 1. Before using the SCP, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the unit and all appropriate
sections of this manual.
2. Use of accessories not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
Xanbus cable
3. The SCP is designed to be permanently connected to the Xanbus network. The manufacturer recommends that
all wiring be done by a certified technician or electrician to ensure adherence to the local and national electrical
codes applicable in your jurisdiction.
4. To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good condition and that wire is not
undersized. Do not operate the SCP with damaged or substandard wiring.
5. Do not operate the SCP if it has been damaged in any way.
6. This unit does not have any user-serviceable parts. Do not disassemble the SCP except where noted for
connecting wiring and cabling. See your warranty for instructions on obtaining service. Attempting to service the Mounting plate for Mounting bracket for 4 x #6 (M3)

7. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect connections from the SCP before attempting any maintenance
or cleaning or working on any components connected to the SCP. Putting the unit in Standby mode will not
reduce this risk.
