Xantrex Technology Automatic Generator manual Enable Temp1

	The Auto Gen Start Menu
	Whenever the generator starts automatically in response to “Start DCV”,
	it will stop when the battery voltage reaches the Stop Battery Voltage
	(“StopBattV”) setting. If you have enabled “Stop Float” or “Stop
	Absorb”, the generator will stop when the Absorption or Float stages of
	the battery charging have begun.
Outcomes	If you set “Start DCV” too high, the generator will start more frequently
	than is convenient.
	If you set “Start DCV” too low, your batteries may be damaged by
	repeated cycles of excessive discharge. The generator running time
	necessary to charge the batteries may exceed “Max Run Time”, and use
	too much fuel in the process.

Enable Temp1

Full name	Enable Thermostat 1.
Purpose	“Enable Temp1” is a changeable setting for starting the generator in
	response to a signal from a thermostat. With “Enable Temp1” set to On,
	the Auto Gen Start will start the generator to help power the furnace or the
	air conditioner.
	Values	Default
	On, Off	Off (disabled)
When to use	Enable this setting if you have thermostats that control an air conditioning
	system with high power requirements.
Outcomes	If you enable this setting, the generator will start in response to a signal
	from the thermostat. Everything related to setting the temperature at

which the air conditioning system comes on must be done on the thermostat. There are no thermostat temperature settings on the Auto Gen Start or the System Control Panel.

If you disable this setting, your air conditioning system will operate without automatic generator assistance. To operate your air conditioner, you will need to start the generator manually, or connect to another AC input source.
