Preparing an Installation

Before installing the XW Auto Generator Start, consider how and where the unit will be mounted. Pre-plan the connection routes between the XW Auto Generator Start, the generator, thermostats, and the XW System Control Panel. Refer to the XW Power System Installation Guide for additional information.

Tools and Materials Required

The following tools and materials may be needed to install the XW Auto Generator Start:

❐Mounting template (supplied)

❐Wiring harness (Xantrex part number 809-0917, supplied)

❐Four #6 screws, 1¼ inch (supplied)

❐#16 or #18 AWG wire (see “Wire Size and Length” on page 2–6)

❐Xantrex network cables or equivalent (Category 5)

❐Network terminators (if required) (supplied)

❐Phillips screwdriver

❐Wire cutters and wire strippers

Choosing a Location

The XW Auto Generator Start should be installed in a location that meets the following requirements:

Dry	The unit is intended for use in a dry location. The XW Auto
	Generator Start complies with UL458 Marine Supplement drip-
	test requirements, but the location should be as dry as possible.

Cool

Safe

Close to generator

The XW Auto Generator Start operation is guaranteed between -4 and 122 °F (-20 and 50 °C).

The XW Auto Generator Start is not ignition protected. Do not install it in areas requiring ignition-protected equipment, such as compartments housing gasoline engines.

Avoid excessive wire lengths and use the recommended wire lengths and sizes (see “Wire Size and Length” on page 2–6). It is more important for the XW Auto Generator Start to be close to the generator than close to the inverter, although for safety reasons, the XW Auto Generator Start should not be installed in the same compartment as a gasoline-powered generator.
