The Xantrex XW AGS has 14 preset generator configurations, or “Gen
Types” (see “Gen Type” on page 3–10). After installing the hardware, it
will be necessary to select one of these Gen Types from the Xantrex XW
AGS Configuration Menu on the Xantrex XW System Control Panel.
The following section describes the preset generator configurations and
provides diagrams for connecting the wiring harness to the generator’s
start wiring.
Important: Put the system in Standby BEFORE changing the “Gen
Type”. See “Putting the Xantrex XW AGS in Standby Mode” on page 4–6.
Important: For an explanation of the terminology used in the following
section, refer to Appendix B, “Generator Auto Start Requirements and
Types”. For more information about Xantrex XW AGS internal relay
activity and timing, see Appendix C, “Relay Timing”.
Important: Connecting the B+ Gen Run signal is optional if using
Xantrex XW AGS software version 02.03.00 or higher. It the B+ is not
