Multiple generator control panels or simple contact closures can be
wired to the external manual ON/OFF inputs. The Xantrex XW AGS
detects if any of the contacts close and will change its operating mode to
External Manual On or External Manual Off (for more information, see
“GenMode” on page 3–33). The Xantrex XW AGS turns the generator on
or off according to these inputs and the resulting operating mode
change.
The External Manual On and External Manual Off states are not affected
by maximum generator run time (see “Max Run Time” on page 3–26).
WARNING: Fire and Shock Hazards
When making connections to a 12-volt or 24-volt power source that
exceeds the class 2 power limitation of 100 VA (e.g., a battery) always
use over-current protection as defined in Table 2-2. This also applies to
thermostat and external manual ON/OFF connections. Locate the
protection device at the power source in the positive wire.
Do not connect the Xantrex XW AGS to a 48-volt battery bank. The
Xantrex XW AGS is limited to a 30V open-circuit maximum by its
regulatory approval and cannot be connected to a 48-volt power source.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
Tapping 12-volts or 24-volts from a 48-volt battery bank will unevenly
wear out the batteries and shortens the battery bank life.
