Conext Automatic Generator Start Installation

Introduction
1–2 975-0307-01-01
Purpose
Function The Xantrex XW AGS continuously monitors battery voltage and starts, or
stops, the generator when battery voltage drops below or exceeds the
preset limits. It also starts the generator to assist the system’s
inverter/charger when output power demands are high.
Start and Stop
Triggers
The Xantrex XW AGS requires a source of start and stop triggers for
automatic operation. The Xantrex XW AGS monitors the Xantrex Xanbus
network and starts or stops the generator based on the preset limits
programmed into it.
Specific criteria that will trigger the Xantrex XW AGS are described in
“Functions” on page 1–4.
Important: The Xantrex XW Automatic Generator Start (Xantrex XW
AGS) is designed for use in a Xantrex XW and Conext SW Power System.
ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRED. The Xantrex XW AGS requires
the use of a Xantrex XW System Control Panel for configuration and
monitoring. For details see “System Requirements”.
