Conext Automatic Generator Start Installation

Installing the Xantrex XW Automatic Generator Start

Type 14
Type 14 works with two-wire generators that use an integrated engine
control module to perform the necessary relay cycles to start and stop
the generator. This is similar to Type 8 but without the B+ signal
requirement. The Xantrex XW AGS closes relay 1 to start the generator
and illuminates the Generator On light to indicate the relay is closed. To
stop the generator, relay 1 is opened and the Generator On light turned
off.
Once the generator is stopped, there is a 10-minute delay before the
generator can be re-started using the Xantrex XW AGS. This is to allow
the generator’s integrated engine controller to completely and safely shut
down the generator. This delay can be adjusted by changing the Gen
Spin down setting.
Important: Since Type 14 does not monitor the generator run status,
illumination of the Generator On light on the Xantrex XW AGS does not
necessarily indicate the generator is actually running. If this generator
type is used, ensure the generator’s integrated controller has the ability
to monitor, control and report generator status and faults. With Type 14,
no faults are raised if the generator fails to start or stop or is externally
started or stopped.
