The Xantrex XW Auto Generator Start (XW AGS)
will automatically activate a generator to provide an XW Series Hybrid
Inverter/Charger with power to recharge a depleted battery bank or
provide additional power for heavy loads. The XW AGS adds intelligence
to generator management, thereby eliminating time spent monitoring
batteries and inverter loads. It does this by continuously monitoring
the battery voltage, state-of-charge, or the inverter charge mode,
starting and stopping the generator when the battery needs additional
charging. The XW AGS will also start the generator to assist the
system’s inverter/charger(s) when output power demands are high.
The XW AGS can be customized to suit each user’s preferences. The
user can define whether the generator should be activated by
low-battery voltage, state-of-charge, thermostat operation, or load on
the inverter(s). A quiet-time setting prevents the generator from
starting at inconvenient times. LED lights display the status of the XW
AGS, while all user-defined settings are programmed through the XW
system control panel (XW SCP).
Operational Features:
- 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.
