Routing the Connections

WARNING: Explosion Hazard

This equipment is not ignition protected. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install the XW Auto Generator Start in locations that require ignition-protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, as well as joints, fittings, or other connections between components of a fuel system.

Follow all relevant instructions exactly before installing or using your XW Auto Generator Start.

	WARNING: Shock and Energy Hazards
	Before making any connections to the generator, ensure that the generator’s
	starter is disabled and the generator’s start battery is disconnected.

Connection	Because the XW Auto Generator Start will be part of a Xanbus system, it
Types	is necessary to consider how to route two types of connections:
	• connections to the generator, thermostats, and other external devices
	and switches, using the included 20-contact connector and wiring
	harness.
	• connections to other Xanbus-enabled devices, using network cables.
	For information on designing and installing the network, see the XW
	Power System Installation Guide.
