INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a Xantrex Automatic Generator

Start Control System. Xantrex Technology Inc. takes pride in

manufacturing quality products specifically designed to meet

your needs.

Main Features

The Automatic Generator Start Control System (AGS) auto-

matically controls and monitors an auxiliary generator. It will

automatically start a generator as required to charge a

battery bank or as heating or cooling systems require. You

can also set allowable generator run times, so that the

AGS does not turn on the generator at inconvenient times.

SAFETY SUMMARY

General safety information for installation and operation

is contained throughout this manual where it applies

and is not completely included in this summary.

Definitions

Warning statements identify conditions or practices which

could result in personal injury, loss of life, damage to equip-

ment or other property.

Fuse Replacement

For continued protection against the possibility of fire, replace

the fuse only with a fuse of the specified voltage, current and

type ratings.

Power Source

To avoid damage, operate the equipment only within the

specified AC (line) and DC (battery) voltages.

Servicing

There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer all service

to qualified personnel.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

The Automatic Generator Start Control System (AGS) has the

following features:

Starts the generator automatically in response to a low

battery. The AGS continuously monitors the house battery and

will start the generator automatically if the battery is low.

Starts the generator automatically in response to air condi-

tioning/heating requests. The AGS continually monitors the air

conditioning system and starts the generator, as required by the

air conditioning system.

Setting of QUIET TIME. QUIET TIME periods of one hour or

more can be entered to prevent automatic operation of the gen-

erator during inappropriate times.

Easy changing of time setting. A TIME ZONE indicator is pro-

vided for easy changing of local time when travelling.

Displays generator status. The Remote Panel indicates if the

generator is on (GEN ON) and if the generator has a problem

(GEN FAULT).

This system...

• allows the user to have confidence that the battery will

not be completely discharged and the DC systems will be

operational. The AGS is not dependent on shorepower and

will maintain the system even if small appliances and gen-

eral lighting are on.

• provides generator power to operate the heating or

cooling systems. This will allow you (and your pets) to be

comfortable.

The system is not intended...

• to be left unattended.

• to keep batteries fully charged. The charge period is

normally two to four hours.

• to maintain area temperature at a specific temperature.

• for use with all air conditioners, heaters, heat pumps and

generators.

THEORY OF OPERATION

System

The AGS system, when in AUTO or AUTO QUIET TIME

mode, continuously monitors the house battery and two air

conditioning/heater thermostats.

If the LOCAL TIME of day is not within the AUTO QUIET

TIME window, it will start the generator to charge the battery

or to cool or heat as required.

The AGS system is invisible to the normal operation of the

auxiliary generator manual start and stop controls with the

following exceptions:

1. If the generator is started by the AGS, which is in

AUTO or AUTO QUIET TIME mode, the selection of OFF at

the AGS Remote Panel will stop the auxiliary generator.

2. If the AGS system commands the generator to start

and it does, the AGS system will stop the generator at the

appropriate time. If the generator stops for some other

reason, even if it is turned Off by a manual switch other than

the AGS, the AGS system will assume that there is a FAULT.

It will turn itself OFF and turn on the GEN FAULT light. At

this point, the AGS system must be turned on to the AUTO

mode or AUTO QUIET TIME mode for it to resume control of

the generator.

Once started by the AGS system, the generator will run for a

minimum of two hours. This will ensure that there is a good

charge in the battery, although it may not be fully charged at

the end of the cycle. If the battery voltage does not reach

13.5 volts during the two-hour period, the generator will

continue to run for an additional two hours. If at the end of

the second two-hour period the battery voltage is still not up

to 13.5 volts, then the AGS systems assumes that there is a

problem and turns the generator OFF. It must be restarted

manually.

OPERATION

When it is off, the OFF light is illuminated.

DEFAULT: OFF mode.

AUTO Mode

In AUTO mode, the Control Module will respond to requests for

generator start from a low battery condition or from an air condi-

tioning demand.

AUTO QUIET Mode

In AUTO QUIET mode (both lights on at the same time) the Control

Module will respond to requests from low battery or air condition-

ing because the time is outside of the user-set Quiet Time. In

AUTO QUIET mode (AUTO light on and QUIET light blinking) the

AGS will not respond to requests for low battery or thermostats

starting because the Local Time is within the Quiet Time window.

ON/OFF MODE Switch

Pressing the ON/OFF switch changes the status of

the AGS from OFF to AUTO to AUTO QUIET mode.

GEN ON Light

The GEN ON light is on whenever the generator is running. This

includes when the auxiliary generator is run manually.

DEFAULT: Light OFF

GEN FAULT Light

The generator has failed to start or has stopped during AGS

control. This will happen if the generator is manually stopped by a

generator start/stop switch that is independent of the AGS. Cy-

cling the ON/OFF switch will clear the fault. Check generator for

normal operation.

DEFAULT: OFF

On/Off

Set Time

Sets the LOCAL TIME, QUIET TIME “BEGIN” or QUIET TIME

“END” according to the selection made by the SELECT switch. To

set a time parameter, select the hour by repeatedly pressing the

SET TIME button until the correct hour light is on.

DEFAULT: LOCAL TIME

Time

Zone

Pressing the TIME ZONE button changes the LOCAL TIME by

cycling through the available time zones. EST (Eastern Standard

Time), CST (Central Standard Time), MST (Mountain Standard

Time), or PST (Pacific Standard Time) are possible. Only one can

be on at a time. Light is on.

DEFAULT: PST

To Program Local Time (USUALLY NOT REQUIRED):

Use the SELECT switch to select LOCAL TIME. Press the TIME

ZONE switch to select the time zone. Press the SET TIME switch

to set the local time hour.

Quiet Time BEGIN (REQUIRED SETTING):

Use the SELECT switch and press it until the BEGIN light is on.

Use the SET TIME switch to select the time in hours Quiet Time is

to begin.

Quiet Time END (REQUIRED SETTING):

Use the SELECT switch and press it until the END light is on.

Use the SET TIME switch to select the time in hours Quiet Time is

to end.

SELECT changes the time displayed by the

AGS Remote and is used to set the TIME/

HOUR. In LOCAL TIME mode the user can set

the “Time/Hour” display to the local hour. (Min-

utes are preset at the factory and do not require

user adjustment).
