Xantrex XW Auto Generator Start Features

The XW Auto Generator Start is a Xanbus™-enabled device that can automatically activate a generator to provide an XW Series Inverter/Charger with power to recharge depleted batteries or assist with heavy loads. Compatible with popular generators, the XW AGS adds intelligence to power management and eliminates time spent monitoring batteries and inverter loads. The XW AGS can be configured to start the generator in response to low battery voltage, thermostat operation, or load size on the inverter battery. A quiet-time setting prevents the generator from starting at inconvenient times. The LCD display shows the status of the XW Auto Generator Starter, while all user-defined settings are programmed through the XW System Control Panel.

Interfaces with:
XW Hybrid Inverter/Charger(s), XW Solar Charge Controller(s), and XW SCP

• Compatibility – the XW AGS connects to other Xanbus™-enabled XW System devices without requiring additional hubs, control cards, or other device-specific control panels
• Works with AC or DC generators with either two-wire or three-wire start controls
• Configurability – comprehensive customizable triggers based on low-battery voltage, change in charging state, high inverter load, thermostat signals, planned exercise periods, max run-time, and quiet-time settings
• Non-volatile memory – preserves XW AGS settings even if the network power is interrupted or network communication is disrupted
  Note: The XW AGS requires an XW System Control Panel (XW SCP) for configuration and monitoring.
