Max Run Time

 

 

 

Full name

Maximum Generator Run Time

 

 

Purpose

The Max Run Time setting allows you to set a limit on how long the

 

generator will run. This setting overrides any automatic start triggers. For

 

example, if the generator starts in response to low battery voltage, and

 

your batteries are not fully charged before “Max Run Time” is reached,

 

the generator will stop. In addition, when the generator is started

 

manually from the System Control Panel, the generator will stop when

 

“Max Run Time” is reached.

 

 

 

When started with an external manual on/off switch, the generator will

 

not stop when it reaches “Max Run Time”. You must stop the generator

 

with the external manual on/off switch, or by using the System Control

 

Panel to change the “AGS Mode” to ManualOff.

 

If the Auto Gen Start reaches “Max Run Time”, a warning message will

 

appear on the System Control Panel. The Auto Gen Start will stop

 

operating until you acknowledge the warning by pressing Enter on the

 

System Control Panel.

 

 

 

Values

 

Default

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2hours to 8hours (increments of 1hour)

 

3hours

 

 

 

 

When to use

You should adjust “Max Run Time” if you find that the maximum

 

generator run time:

 

 

 

• exceeds the fuel capacity of your generator.

 

• is not long enough to fully recharge your batteries under optimum

 

conditions.

 

 

Exercise Per

 

 

 

Full name

Set Exercise Period (in days).

 

 

Purpose

“Exercise Per” allows you to set the minimum time interval in between

 

each exercising of the generator.

 

 

The time interval defined by the Exercise Period setting begins with the last time the generator was run for any reason, not with the last time the Auto Gen Start exercised the generator.

For example, setting an exercise period of 30 days would start the generator if it had not been run at all for 30 days.

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.
