Xantrex Technology XW manual Gen Run Hold Time, Crank Delay, Crank Time

The XW Auto Gen Start Menu

Gen Run Hold Time

Full name	Generator Run Signal Hold Time
Purpose	“Gen Run Hold Time” specifies the length of time the generator run
	signal (or B+ or hour meter signal) must be active before the XW Auto
	Generator Start considers the generator to be running and cranking can be
	stopped.
	Some generators assert their run signal when they are being cranked, but
	before they have started. They also have varying delays from when
	cranking begins or ends to when the run signal is asserted or unasserted.
	The Run Hold Time is designed to accommodate these generators.
	Values	Default
	0.0s to 20.0s (increments of 0.5s)	0.5s
Considerations	This setting is automatically configured when a “Gen Type” is selected
	for the generator. Manually change this setting only on the advice of the
	generator manufacturer or authorized service personnel.
Crank Delay
Purpose	“Crank Delay” specifies the delay time from when the preheat relay is de-
	energized to when the Start Relay is energized (and cranking the starter
	motor). This is also referred to as the preheat-to-crank delay.

Values

0s to 250s

Default

1s

Considerations	This setting is automatically configured when a “Gen Type” is selected
	for the generator. Manually change this setting only on the advice of the
	generator manufacturer or authorized service personnel.

Crank Time

Purpose	“Crank Time” specifies the maximum length of time the Start relay is
	engaged (and cranking the starter motor) for the first attempt to start the
	generator.
	Values	Default
	0s to 250s (increments of 1s)	30s
Considerations	This setting is automatically configured when a “Gen Type” is selected
	for the generator. Manually change this setting only on the advice of the
	generator manufacturer or authorized service personnel.
