Troubleshooting

Fault Messages

When the XW Auto Generator Start detects a fault condition, it stops the generator. The red Fault light also comes on, and the XW System Control Panel displays a fault message.

The XW Auto Generator Start remembers the GenMode that it was in at the time it detected the fault. After you have cleared the fault, the XW Auto Generator Start returns to its last known GenMode.
