Installing the Xantrex XW Automatic Generator Start
Installation
Overview
Installing the Xantrex XW AGS involves the following steps:
1. Mounting the unit.
2. Connecting the wiring harness to:
• the generator (page 2–8)
• thermostats (optional) (page 2–24)
• external shutdown switch (optional) (page 2–25)
• external ON/OFF switch and LED (optional) (page 2–25)
3. Connecting the wiring harness to the 20-contact connector on the
Xantrex XW AGS.
4. Connecting the Xantrex XW AGS to the Xantrex XW System Control
Panel and other network-enabled devices (page 2–28).
Mounting the Unit
The Xantrex XW AGS is to be mounted vertically on a wall with the
connectors facing downwards.
To mount the Xantrex XW AGS:
1. Hold the unit flush and square against the wall, panel, or horizontal
surface.
• If the mounting surface requires pre-drill holes for the screws,
use the supplied mounting template to mark, then drill, four
holes.
2. With a Phillips screwdriver and the supplied #6 screws, secure each
corner of the Xantrex XW AGS to the mounting surface.
Important: Because each installation varies according to the location,
the type of generator, and the overall complexity of the Xantrex Xanbus
system, these instructions can offer only general guidelines for the
many installation options available.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Before installing the Xantrex XW AGS as part of a pre-existing Xantrex
Xanbus system, put the system in Standby in order to disable the
electrical operation of networked devices. See “Putting the Xantrex XW
AGS in Standby Mode” on page 4–6.
