Configuration of the Xanbus AGS
Load
Full name Enable Inverter Load Start and Stop Triggers
Purpose The "Load" trigger enables or disables the Start on Inverter Load Current and Stop on Inverter Load Current functionality of the AGS. This function enables the generator to start and stop based on the current being drawn on the inverter by the loads. See "Start Load" and "Stop
Load".
Dependencies The "Load" trigger requires the AGS to be in Automatic mode and needs parameters to be set for both the "Start Load" and "Stop Load" triggers.
Value | Default |

|
Disabled, Enabled | Disabled |

IMPORTANT: This function is intended to protect the batteries from rapid drain. It is not intended to protect the inverter against overload.
Start Load
Full name Start on Inverter Load Current
Purpose The "Start Load" trigger enables the generator to start at a specified AC load (current draw) on the inverter. This current draw must be present for 5 minutes before the generator will start. The generator will assist the inverter with powering the AC load.
Dependencies The "Start Load" trigger requires the AGS to be in Automatic mode and the "Load" trigger to be set to ON. It also needs to have a stopping value set in the "Stop Load" trigger.
Values | Default |

|
10.0 A to 33.0 A (increments of 1A) | 10.0 A |

Considerations Change this setting if there are certain “peak” times of power usage or if power demands consistently exceed the output of the inverter.
If "Load" is set to [Enabled], the generator will start in response to the "Start Load" setting unless the AGS is in a Quiet Time period.
The inverter load current can be monitored on the System screen.
If "Start Load" is set too high, the AGS may not start the generator in time to recharge the batteries before the batteries are drained by the AC load. In addition, if "Start Load" is set too high, the inverter may shut down due to an overload condition.
If "Start Load" is set too low, the AGS may start the generator too frequently, wasting fuel in the process.
