ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Before installing the AGS as part of a pre-existing Xanbus system, put the system in Standby in order to disable the electrical operation of networked devices. See “Putting the AGS in Standby Mode” on page 67.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

3.Connecting the wiring harness to the 20-contact connector on the AGS.

4.Connecting the AGS to the Xanbus System Control Panel (SCP) and other network-enabled devices (page 33).

IMPORTANT: Because each installation varies according to the location, the type of generator, and the overall complexity of the Xanbus system, these instructions can offer only general guidelines for the many installation options available.

Mounting the Unit

The AGS is to be mounted vertically on a wall with the connectors facing downwards.

To mount the AGS:

1.Hold the unit flush and square against the wall, panel, or horizontal surface.

•If the mounting surface requires pre-drill holes for the screws, use the supplied mounting template to mark, then drill, four holes.

2.With a Phillips screwdriver and the supplied mounting screws, secure each corner of the AGS to the mounting surface.
