Generator Configuration menu

The Generator Configuration (AGS Gen Config) menu contains additional options for configuring the Auto Gen Start for your make and model of generator. The items on this menu include the settings you automatically select when you select a Gen Type (see “Gen Type” on page 3–16). This menu also allows you to set the generator exercise period.

The Generator Configuration menu contains the following items:

“Starter Cool Down”

“Max Run Time”

“Exercise Per”

“Exercise Dur”

“Exercise Time”

“Relay3”

“Run Hold Time”

“Crank Time”

“Crank Retry Time”

“Preheat Time”

“Start Tries”

Starter Cool Down

Purpose

The Starter Cool Down setting allows you to set an interval between start

 

attempts if the generator fails to start on the first attempt. This time period

 

allows the start motor to cool sufficiently before the Auto Gen Start

 

signals it to begin cranking again.

 

 

 

Values

 

Default

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1s to 250s (increments of 1s)

 

60s

 

 

 

 

When to use

This setting is automatically configured when you select a “Gen Type” for

 

your generator. You should manually set “Starter Cool Down” if you need

 

to customize your “Gen Type” on the advice of your generator

 

manufacturer or authorized service personnel.

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.
