Connecting the Generator

To connect the XW Automatic Generator Start to a generator, you must identify the start wiring configuration of the generator you want to use. Generators must be auto-start capable, and generators equipped with remote operation connections are ideal.

If the generator is equipped for remote operation, you must examine the wiring of the remote cable and connector (or read your generator’s documentation, if available) and identify the following wires:

 

Ground

 

Start

 

Stop

 

• Generator run signal, also known as the Hour Meter or Switched B+ (battery positive)

Wiring

To wire the XW Automatic Generator Start to the generator, you need #16 or #18 AWG

requirements

wire connected between contacts 12 to 20 on the wiring harness. How many of these wires

 

you connect and in which combination depends on your generator type.

Generator types

The XW Automatic Generator Start has 13 preset generator configurations, or “Gen

 

Types” (see the XW Automatic Start Owner’s Guide for details on Generator Types). To

 

ensure that the XW Automatic Generator Start is compatible with your generator’s starting

 

circuitry, you must select your type of generator from the XW Automatic Generator Start

 

menu on the XW System Control Panel after completing the installation.
