When to use

When you need to use the Auto Gen Start Quiet Time feature, set “QT

 

Enable” to On, then check or reset the times you have set for “QT Begin”

 

and “QT End”.

 

 

When you have no preferences or restrictions for when the generator

 

should run, set “QT Enable” to Off.

Outcomes

Selecting On enables the Quiet Time feature. If the Auto Gen Start is in

 

Automatic mode, the Auto Gen Start stops and starts the generator

 

according to the times you have set for “QT Begin” and “QT End”.

 

Selecting Off disables the Quiet Time feature. The Auto Gen Start will

 

ignore the times you have set for “QT Begin” and “QT End”. If the Auto

 

Gen Start is in Automatic mode, the Auto Gen Start starts and stops the

 

generator at any time of the day or night in response to battery voltage,

 

battery state of charge, inverter load, thermostat triggers, and exercise

 

time.

Automatic Generator specifications

Xantrex Technology has established a reputation for excellence in the power management sector, and its Automatic Generator Start (AGS) system is a prime example of this commitment to innovation. This advanced technology is designed for use in recreational vehicles (RVs), marine applications, and remote cabins, providing a reliable solution for maintaining power during off-grid conditions.

One of the main features of the Xantrex AGS is its ability to automatically start and stop generator engines based on specific parameters set by the user. This ensures that power is available when needed, while also preserving fuel and extending the life of the generator itself. The AGS monitors the battery voltage closely, activating the generator if it drops below a predetermined threshold. Once the battery is adequately charged, the system will automatically shut the generator off, preventing unnecessary fuel consumption and wear on the engine.

The Xantrex AGS operates using a sophisticated microprocessor that allows for precise control and adaptability. This technology enables users to customize various settings according to their power needs, ensuring optimal efficiency. Users can also configure the system to respond to temperature or water level conditions, tailoring the performance to specific environments and requirements.

In addition to its automatic functionality, the Xantrex AGS is designed with user-friendliness in mind. A clear, intuitive interface allows for easy setup and adjustments, ensuring that anyone can operate the system effectively. This is particularly advantageous for users who may not be technically inclined or those who are new to generator technology.

Moreover, the system is equipped with advanced safety features that protect both the generator and the connected devices from potential damage. This includes overload protection and additional protocols that prevent the generator from starting during unsafe conditions, providing peace of mind to users.

Overall, the Xantrex Technology Automatic Generator Start system exemplifies a blend of innovation, practicality, and safety features. With its ability to manage power effectively while reducing operational costs, it is an indispensable tool for anyone who relies on a generator for off-grid power supply. Whether for adventures in an RV, tasks on a boat, or maintaining remote properties, the Xantrex AGS stands out as a top choice for reliable automatic generator management.
