Installing the Xantrex XW Automatic Generator Start

Connecting an External ON/OFF LED

Wires 9 (White/Blue) and 11 (Black) on the wiring harness can be

connected to an LED or other light to accompany a remote external ON/

OFF switch. This light turns on when the generator run signal is active to

visually indicate that the generator is running.

Important: With some generators, the generator run signal becomes

active during the preheat stage, before the generator is actually running.

In this case, the external ON/OFF LED (and the Generator On light on the

Xantrex XW AGS) will turn on during the preheat stage and remain on

when the generator is running.

For some generators, these lights will also remain on for a period of time

after the generator has stopped.
