Xanbus Automatic Generator Start Installation

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 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.

IMPORTANT: Since Type 14 does not monitor the generator run status, illumination of the Generator On light on the 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.

Once the generator is stopped, there is a 10-minute delay before the generator can be re-started using the 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.
