The Auto Gen Start Menu

QT End

Full name

Quiet Time End

 

 

 

Purpose

“QT End” is a changeable setting that defines the end of quiet time.

 

This setting also requires you to set “QT Begin”.

 

Value

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12:00AM to 11:59PM

 

At the time you set for “QT End” the Auto Gen

 

(12-hour clock)

 

Start will be able to automatically start the

 

00:00 to 23:59

 

generator again. If a start trigger has occurred

 

(24-hour clock)

 

during quiet time and is still active, the generator

 

 

 

will start immediately after quiet time ends.

 

 

 

 

 

When to use

“QT End” functions only if the Auto Gen Start is in Automatic mode.

 

For more information about when to use “QT End” and the Auto Gen

 

Start Quiet Time feature, see “QT Begin” on page 3–11.

Start SOC

 

 

 

 

Full name

Start Battery Charge

 

 

 

Purpose

“Start SOC” is a changeable setting that allows the Auto Gen Start to start

 

the generator when the battery bank capacity falls to a certain percentage.

 

This setting requires you to set “Stop SOC” also (see page 3–19).

 

Values

 

 

Default

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Off, 40% to 90% (increments of 5%)

Off (disabled)

 

 

 

When to use

Discharging deep cycle RV or marine batteries below 50% capacity

 

shortens their useful life. Correctly configuring the Auto Gen Start’s

 

“Start SOC” setting can help protect your batteries from repeated over-

 

discharge.

 

 

 

In Automatic mode, the Auto Gen Start will start the generator to recharge your batteries if the batteries’ state of charge is less than or equal to the “Start SOC” setting.

Important: To use the “Start SOC” setting, the Auto Gen Start requires accurate battery monitoring and state of charge information from the Xantrex DC Monitor. This menu item will not appear if a DC Monitor is not installed.

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.
