IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important safety instructions that should be followed

during the installation and maintenance of this product.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, and to ensure the safe installation

and operation of this product, the following safety symbols have been placed

throughout this manual to indicate dangerous conditions and important safety

instructions.

WARNING - A dangerous voltage or condition exists in this area.

Use extreme caution when performing these tasks.

AVERTISSEMENT - Une tension ou condition dangereuse existe

dans cette zone. Faire preuve dextrême prudence lors de la

réalisation de ces tâches.

CAUTION - This procedure is critical to the safe installation or

operation of the unit. Follow these instructions closely.

ATTENTION - Cette procédure est essentielle à linstallation ou

lutilisation de lunité en toute sécurité. Suivre ces instructions

deprès.

NOTE - This statement is important. Follow instructions closely.

NOTE - Cette déclaration est importante. Suivre les instructions

deprès.

 All electrical work must be done in accordance with local, national,

and/or international electrical codes.

 Before installing or using this device, read all instructions and cautionary

markings located in the manual and on the generator.

 Do not expose this unit to rain, snow or liquids of any type. This product is

designed only for indoor mounting.

 To reduce the chance of short-circuits, use insulated tools when installing

or working with this product, the inverter, the batteries or generator.

 Remove all jewelry such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc., while installing

the SM. This will greatly reduce the chance of accidental exposure to live

circuits.

 The inverter contains more than one live circuit (batteries, PV array, AC

line, etc.). Power may be present at more than one source.

 To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect all wiring before attempting any

maintenance or cleaning. Turning off the device may not reduce this risk.

 Disable the generators starting circuit by disconnecting the starter battery,

spark plug, etc., before wiring this device.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Disclaimer of Liability

Since the use of this manual and the conditions or methods of installation,

operation, use and maintenance of the unit are beyond the control of Xantrex

Technology Inc., the company does not assume responsibility and expressly

disclaims liability for loss, damage, or expense arising out of or any way

connected with such installation, operation, use, or maintenance.

NOTE Due to continual improvement through product updates,

photographs and/or illustrations used in this manual may not exactly

match your unit. Xantrex Technology Inc., reserves the right to

update this product without notice or releasing an updated manual

when fit, form or function are not affected.

The SM ( enerator Start Module) is an accessory for selected Trace

inverter/charger models allowing automatic generator control and inverter error

indication when using the optional SWRC remote control. The unit contains

three relays providing normally open (N.O.), normally closed (N.C.) and

common (COM) contacts. Relays RY7 and RY8 are used for generator

control. Relay RY11 is used to indicate an error condition (via an external

indicator) whenever the inverters output is shutdown. This could be a bell,

buzzer, light, etc.

The unit interfaces the inverter (via a phone type cable) to an auto-start/

stop generator. Commands from the inverter control the generator when

defined parameters (programmed via the SWRC or SWCA for PS Series

models) are met. Refer to the inverter operators manual for setting the

various parameters for generator operation.

Front panel LEDs provide a visual display of relay activity whenever a

relay contact receives an engage command from the inverter. A highly visible

blue LED indicates the inverter is operational.

Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully inspect the contents of the shipping carton for damages. Report

any damages to the carrier immediately.

The following items are packed with the SM:

 enerator Start Module unit ( SM)

 25-foot cable

 Operators manual

 enerator Danger Label

Report any missing items to Xantrex Technology Inc., immediately.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Controls and Indicators

Indi ator LEDs

Three LEDs located on the front panel of the SM indicate the relay

control signal status from the inverter.

NOTE The LEDs are unaffected by the GSMs switch positions or

fuse condition.

GENERATOR RUN/GLOWSTOP RELAY 7 LED

The yellow LED indicates relay RY7 is receiving a control signal to

engage the relay and RUN the generator or provide a LOWSTOP signal

(for diesel generators). The LED turns ON when the relays COM and N.O.

contacts engage. The function of this relay is dependent on the selection

made (using the SWRC) as to whether it is used to RUN the generator or

provide LOWSTOP control.

GENERATOR START RELAY 8 LED

The green LED indicates relay RY8 is receiving a START signal from the

inverter. The LED turns ON when the relays COM and N.O. contacts

engage.

INVERTER OPERATIONAL LED

The blue LED indicates the inverters operational status. If the inverter is

powered and ready for operation, the blue SYSTEM OPERATIONAL LED

turns ON as soon as the phone-type cable is plugged into the inverter. If

the blue LED does not turn ON, the inverter is either not powered, is set to

the CH only mode without any utility pass-through, or has no AC output

which may be caused by an error condition.

Controls and Indicators (continued)

Swit hes

Two switches are provided on the right side of the SM to effectively

disconnect the relay coils from the inverters supply voltage (11 VDC), thus

preventing the relays from engaging if a control signal is sent out from the

inverter. This is a safety feature which allows the generator to be serviced

without it unexpectedly starting due to an inverter EN-START command.

GENERATOR START Swit h

The ENERATOR START switch enables the relays by providing the

operating voltage to the relay coils RY7 and RY8. When the relays are

enabled, they will respond to the control signals provided by the inverter.

When the switch is in the RELAYS DISABLED position, the inverter control

signals have no effect on relay operation (i.e., the COM and N.C. contacts

engage). This switch does not affect the operation of the LEDs which

continue to light whenever the inverter sends a CLOSE CONTACT

command to therelays.

INVERTER ERROR Swit h

The INVERTER ERROR switch provides a simple way to test an

externally connected alarm. Once the alarm is tested, this switch should be

switched to the RELAY READY position.

Internal Components

The enerator Start Module ( SM) is designed to control generators

equipped with two- or three-wire, electronic, automatic start operation (not all

generators are supported) and provides the following features.

Relays

There are three 12 VDC relays, rated at 10 amps/250 VAC; 8 amps/

30VDC (forresistive loads), with gold contacts increasing the low-end

signalrange.

 Relay RY7 is used for generator RUN/ LOWSTOP functions.

 Relay RY8 is used for the generator START function.

 Relay RY11 can be connected to an external indicator device to display

or sound an alarm whenever the inverter AC output is lost.

 The normally open (N.O.) and normally closed (N.C.) contacts are

available to accommodate the various generator auto-start circuits.

Relay Terminal Blo k

Connections to the SM are accomplished by the nine position, spring

clamp, terminal block with quick connect levers. All relay contacts (N.O.,

COM and N.C.) are available at this connector, which accepts wire sizes

from #28 AW to #14 AW . No tools are required to secure the wires as

the spring clamp holds the wires securely in place.

Ground Stud

A ground screw is provided in the SM to provide a safety ground path

when hazardous voltages are connected to the relays. Connect this screw

to a grounded conductor whenever high voltages (i.e., above 90 volts) are

connected to the relays.

NOTE No hazardous voltages are supplied from the inverter to

power or control the relays; however, some generator control circuits

may use a high voltage in their starting/control circuits or 120 V

could be used for an external error indicator.

Fuses

Each relays common (COM) contact is protected with a 6.3 amp (5 mm

x 20 mm) 250 VAC fuse which will open if excess current is drawn through

the relay contacts. Always replace this fuse with the same type and rating.

Type DC (Bussman) or 218 (Littlefuse) is recommended.

NOTE These fuses can be replaced with lower amperage fuses to

also protect the connected circuitry, if desired. Refer to the

generators specifications for the correct size fuse. In no case,

should this fuse be replaced with one of a higher amperage.
