Troubleshooting

Faults and Warnings

 

Under certain conditions, the Auto Gen Start generates a fault or warning

 

message. These messages appear on the System Control Panel. This

 

section describes how to respond to fault and warning messages when

 

they appear.

Acknowledging

When a fault or warning message appears, you can acknowledge the

messages

message by pressing Enter on the System Control Panel. This action

 

removes the message from the screen. After acknowleding the message,

 

you can proceed configuring or operating the Auto Gen Start.This action

 

does not clear the condition that caused the fault or warning, however.

 

Consult Table 5-1 and Table 5-2for suggested actions to take after you

 

have acknowledged the message.

 

You can acknowledge warnings that are in the form of a Yes/No question

 

by pressing Enter for Yes and Exit for No.

Self-clearing

If unacknowledged, some warnings may clear themselves if the condition

warnings

that generated the message goes away. For example, if the Auto Gen Start

 

fails to start the generator, warning message W202 appears. However, if

 

the generator starts on the next start try, the message goes away.

Clearing faults

To clear active Auto Gen Start faults, highlight Clear Faults on the Auto

 

Gen Start menu and press Enter.

Multiple faults

If several fault or warning messages occur before you can acknowledge or

and warnings

clear them, they are displayed together on a fault list or a warning list.

 

These lists contain messages from every Xanbus-enabled device, not just

 

the Auto Gen Start. You can select a message and view its details from the

 

fault list or warning list.

 

To view a message from a fault list or warning list:

 

1. On the list, use the up arrow or down arrow button to highlight the

 

message you want to view.

 

2. Press Enter.

 

The complete message appears.

 

After viewing the message, you can return to the fault list or warning list

 

by pressing Exit or continue to the menu for the device that caused the

 

fault or warning by pressing Enter. Each time you return to the list after

 

viewing a complete message, the viewed message is removed from the

 

list.

 

If you have left the fault list or warning list, you can view them at any

 

time from the System Settings menu.

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.
