XW Automatic Generator Start 865-1060

The Xantrex XW AGS will automatically activate a generator to provid an XW Series Hybrid Inverter/Charger with power to charge a depleted battery and provide additional power for loads. The XW AGS adds intelligence to generator management, eliminating time spent monitoring batteries and 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 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 gen should be activated by low-battery voltage, state-of-charge, thermostat operation, or load on the inverter(s). A quiet-time setting prevents the unit from running 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 Auto Generator Start 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 with either two-wire or three-wire 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.
