Crank Retry Time
Purpose “Crank Retry Time” specifies the length of time the Start relay is engaged
(and cranking the starter motor) for the second and subsequent attempts
to start the generator, in cases when the generator fails to start on the
first attempt.
Considerations This setting is automatically configured when a “Gen Type” is selected
for the generator. Manually change this setting only on the advice of the
generator manufacturer or authorized service personnel.
Preheat Time
Purpose “Preheat Time” specifies how long the Preheat relay is engaged during
the start sequence. The preheat signal may be required for diesel
generators with glow plugs or fuel priming for gas generators.
The Preheat relay may be Relay 1 or Relay 3, depending on the “Relay3”
setting or the Gen Type selected.
Considerations This setting is automatically configured when a “Gen Type” is selected
for the generator. Manually change this setting only on the advice of the
generator manufacturer or authorized service personnel.
Gen Start Tries
“Gen Start Tries” specifies how many times the Xantrex XW AGS will
attempt to start the generator. On the first start try, the Xantrex XW AGS
cranks the starter motor for the Crank Time. If the generator does not
start, on subsequent start tries, the Xantrex XW AGS cranks the start
motor for the Crank Retry Time.
Considerations This setting is automatically configured when a “Gen Type” is selected
for the generator. Manually change this setting only on the advice of the
generator manufacturer or authorized service personnel.
