The XW Auto Gen Start Menu

 

 

 

Time feature, which prevents the generator from starting during evening

 

hours or other inconvenient times (see “QT Begin” on page 3–8, “QT

 

End” on page 3–9, and “Using Quiet Time” on page 4–4).

Automatic

When the XW Auto Generator Start is in Automatic mode, several

Mode Overrides

settings and conditions override automatic start and stop triggers. These

 

overrides include, in order of priority:

 

Faults—The XW Auto Generator Start stops the generator when a

 

fault occurs.

 

• External Shutdown—When the XW Auto Generator Start is

 

connected to a sensor or meter (a moisture detector, for example)

 

wired to contacts 5 and 6 of the 20-contact connector, it stops the

 

generator when the device is activated. See “Connecting an External

 

Shutdown (optional)” on page 2–22.

 

• External On/Off—The generator is manually started or stopped with a

 

switch wired to contacts 7 and 8 of the 20-contact connector. See

 

“Connecting an External Manual ON/OFF Switch (optional)” on

 

page 2–23. When started with an external manual ON/OFF switch,

 

the generator will not stop when it reaches Max Run Time. The

 

generator must be stopped using the external manual ON/OFF switch.

 

• Max Run Time—When the generator has exceeded its maximum run

 

time, a warning message will appear on the XW System Control

 

Panel. The XW Auto Generator Start will stop operating until the

 

warning is acknowledged by pressing Enter on the XW System

 

Control Panel. See “Max Run Time” on page 3–22.

 

• Manual On—The generator is started by selecting Manual On mode.

 

• Manual Off—The generator is stopped by selecting Manual Off

 

mode.

Manual On Mode

Selecting Manual On Mode overrides the automatic start settings and manually starts the generator. The generator will run until it is manually stopped or until it reaches its XW Auto Generator Start-defined Maximum Run Time (see “Max Run Time” on page 3–22).
