8.2 CONFIGURATION
Many settings can be changed to adapt the configuration of the next3 to the environment/system.
The nx-interface operates as a terminal and is not mandatory in a system. It can be plugged to the
system and removed. When an inverter/converter setting is modified using the remote control (nx-
interface), it is sent to the next3 and stored in the device permanently. If the nx-interface is removed
from the system, this parameter continues to be used by the next3 with this modified value.
If the next3 is de-energized and then energized again, the settings can be retrieved from the non-
volatile memory. This allows for example to pre-program a next3 at the workshop and to supply it to
a customer, ready for his specific application.
8.2.1
Configuration Wizard
At the first commissioning of the next3 a configuration assistant called the “Configuration Wizard” will
be automatically started on the nx-interface. With a set of questions, the user is invited to configure
the next3. Very specific settings can always be accessed later in each component’s menu.
The process with the wizard is mandatory for new installations and with multi-unit systems.
It is also possible to run it later by going to the nx-interface menu “Installation Configuration”
(available at Expert level).
Path: launch→
It will reset all the settings with the factory values according to your configuration/answers to
questions. Old configurations are completely erased with a wizard process.
During the wizard process, the installation is stopped, and the AC power supply is
stopped. Choose the proper moment to perform a configuration wizard.
After a few questions for the remote control / nx-interface configuration (time, date, …), a scan of
the devices present on the communication bus is performed:
Check that all the elements you want in the system are connected. LEDs of front pannel of the next
are all blinking during this process. If not, that means the communication cannot be established.
Check the communication cabling (presence of cable and termination switch) and that all the units
are powered on (energized from a battery).
