8 Xanbus Automatic Generator Start (AGS) Owner’s Guide
Xanbus Automatic Generator Start Installation
Before installing the AGS, consider how and where the unit will be mounted.
Pre-plan the connection routes between the AGS, the generator, thermostats,
and the Xanbus System Control Panel (SCP).
Materials and Tools Required
The following materials and tools are required to complete the installation:
❐ Mounting template (supplied)
❐ Wiring harness (manufacturer part number 809-0917, supplied)
❐ Four mounting screws (supplied)
❐ #16 or #18 AWG wire (see “Wire Size and Length” on page 12)
❐ Xanbus network cables or equivalent (CAT 5 or CAT 5e cable with RJ-
45 connectors wired to T568A standard.
❐ Two network terminators
(supplied with the Freedom SW Inverter/Charger)
❐ Phillips head screwdriver
❐ Wire cutters and wire strippers
Choosing a Location
The AGS should be installed in a location that meets the following
requirements:
Dry
The unit is intended for use in a dry location. The AGS
complies with UL458 Marine Supplement drip-test
requirements, but the location should be as dry as
possible.
Cool
The AGS operation is guaranteed between
-4 and 122 °F (-20 and 50 °C).
Safe
The AGS is not ignition protected. Do not install it in
areas requiring ignition-protected equipment, such as
compartments housing gasoline engines.
Close to
generator
Avoid excessive wire lengths and use the
recommended wire lengths and sizes (see “Wire Size
and Length” on page 12). It is more important for the
AGS
to be close to the generator than close to the
inverter, although for safety reasons, the AGS should
not be installed in the same compartment as a gasoline-
powered generator.
