Xantrex Technology Automatic Generator manual StartV2hr

The Auto Gen Start Menu

	Values	Default
	Off, 4.0V to 60.0V	Off (disabled)
When to use	In Automatic mode, the Auto Gen Start will start the generator when the
	system battery voltage (as measured by the inverter/charger) falls below
	the “StartV:15min” setting for 15 minutes.
	You can use one of the Starting Battery Voltage settings (“StartV:30sec”,
	“StartV:15min”, “StartV:2hr”, and “StartV:24hr”) when there is no
	accurate, reliable battery state of charge monitoring available, such as
	from the Xantrex DC Monitor.
Battery voltage	Battery voltage can be monitored from the System screen or the inverter/
information	charger menu.
	Whenever the generator starts automatically based on the Starting Battery
	Voltage, it will stop when the battery voltage reaches the “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
	begin.
Outcomes	If you set the Starting Battery Voltage too high, the generator will start
	more frequently than is convenient.
	If you set the Starting Battery Voltage value 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.

StartV:2hr

Full name	Starting Battery Voltage—2 hours
Purpose	“StartV:2hr” is a changeable setting that enables the Auto Gen Start to
	start the generator whenever the battery voltage reaches a pre-set voltage
	for longer than 2 hours.
	This setting requires you to set either a Stopping Battery Voltage, or a
	Stop at Charge Stage setting.
	Values	Default
	Off, 4.0V to 60.0V	Off (disabled)
