Introduction

IMPORTANT: The Xanbus Automatic Generator Start (AGS) is designed for use in a Xanbus-enabled Freedom SW Power System only.

The Xanbus AGS requires the additional use of a Xanbus System Control Panel (SCP) for configuration and monitoring. For details see "System Requirements".

Function The Xanbus 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 Xanbus AGS requires a source of start and stop triggers for automatic operation. The Xanbus AGS monitors the Xanbus network and starts or stops the generator based on the preset limits programmed into it.
