Configuration of the Xanbus AGS

Crank Delay

Purpose "Crank Delay" specifies the delay time from when the preheat relay is de-energized to when the Start Relay is energized (and cranking the starter motor). This is also referred to as the preheat-to-crank delay.

Values	Default

0s to 250s	1s

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.

Crank Time

Purpose "Crank Time" specifies the maximum length of time the Start relay is engaged (and cranking the starter motor) for the first attempt to start the generator.

Values	Default

0s to 250s (increments of 1s)	30s

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.

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.

Values	Default

0s to 250s (increments of 1s)	40s

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.

Values	Default

0s to 250s (increments of 1s)	0s

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.
