Restore Defaults

Configuration

Generator	This generator name is used by the XW inverter/charger to identify which
	generator is connected to the AC2 input. It is only necessary to change
	this setting in installations with more than one XW Auto Generator Start
	in a system. In this case, the “generator” name on each XW Auto
	Generator Start will have to be unique.
	Example: If a generator is connected to AC2 on an XW inverter/charger,
	the generator name (e.g., Gen1, Gen2 etc.) selected for AC2 under
	“Connections” on the XW must match the generator name assigned here.
	See the XW Inverter/Charger Operator’s Guide for additional
	information.

Restore Defaults

The “Restore Defaults” returns the XW Auto Generator Start to the factory default settings.

GenMode

Purpose	The GenMode menu item controls the current operating mode of the XW
	Auto Generator Start.
	Value		Description
	Value		Description

	Automatic		Automatic mode

	ManualOn		Manual on mode

	ManualOff		Manual off mode (default mode)

Considerations	Use GenMode when it is necessary to switch between automatic
	generator control and manual generator control.

When the Xanbus system powers up all network-enabled devices, the XW Auto Generator Start is in ManualOff mode. To enable automatic generator starts, the XW Auto Generator Start must be put in “Automatic” mode.

Automatic Mode

To have the XW Auto Generator Start start and stop the generator automatically, select Automatic. The generator can start and stop automatically in response to low battery voltage, AC loads on the inverter, thermostat triggers, or exercise time. Automatic mode also has a Quiet
