The Auto Gen Start Menu

Stop Load

Full name

Stop on Inverter Load Current

 

Purpose

“Stop Load” sets the Auto Gen Start to stop the generator at a specified

 

AC load on the inverter. The “Stop Load” setting applies to situations

 

when the Auto Gen Start has started the generator to assist the inverter

 

with powering the AC load.

 

 

Values

 

 

Default

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7.0A to 28.0A (increments of 1 A)

7.0A

 

 

 

 

When to use

Use this setting when you have set a value for “Start Load”.

Stop Absorb

 

 

 

 

Full name

Stop at Absorption Charge Stage

 

Purpose

The “Stop Absorb” setting allows you to set the Auto Gen Start to stop the

 

generator when the inverter/charger has recharged the batteries to the

 

Absorption stage.

 

 

 

 

Values

 

Default

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Off, On

 

On

 

 

 

 

 

When to use

Set “Stop Absorb” if you want to deliver a partial charge to your batteries.

 

The Auto Gen Start will start and run the generator until the inverter/

 

charger charges the batteries through the Bulk charge stage (restoring the

 

batteries to about 75% of their full charge). The Auto Gen Start stops the

generator when the inverter/charger determines the batteries have reached the Absorption charge stage.

Set “Stop Absorb” if your inverter/charger is using two-stage battery charging. If your inverter/charger is set to use three-stage charging, set “Stop Float” or “Stop Absorb” to stop the generator.

Set “Stop Absorb” if battery charging is your main priority for your generator (rather than using your generator for powering high AC loads). You might also use the “Stop Absorb” setting if your batteries are not being charged enough before the Auto Gen Start stops the generator because of battery voltage or state of charge.

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.
