AGS Mode
Purpose “AGS Mode” is a changeable setting that controls the current operating
mode of the Auto Gen Start.
When to use You should change “AGS Mode” when you want to switch between
automatic generator control and manual generator control.
When the Xanbus system powers up all network-enabled devices, the
Auto Gen Start is in Manual Off mode. To enable automatic generator
starts, you must put the Auto Gen Start in Automatic mode.
Automatic If you would like the Auto Gen Start to start and stop the
generator automatically, select Automatic. The generator can start and
stop automatically in response to low battery voltage, low battery state of
charge (requires a DC Monitor in the Xanbus System), AC loads on the
inverter, thermostat triggers, or exercise time. Automatic mode also has a
Quiet Time feature, which prevents the generator from starting during
evening hours or other inconvenient times (see “QT Begin” on page 3–11,
“QT End” on page 3–13, and “Setting Quiet Time” on page 4–3).
Automatic

WARNING: Fire and health hazard
Running a generator in an enclosed space produces potentially lethal exhaust
gases.
Before putting your RV or boat in storage, disable the Auto Gen Start by putting
the Xanbus system in Hibernate mode. Do not leave a generator connected to an
Auto Gen Start otherwise unattended.
