10 Xanbus Automatic Generator Start (AGS) Owner’s Guide
Xanbus Automatic Generator Start Installation
Installation Overview
Installing the AGS involves the following steps:
1. Mounting the unit.
2. Connecting the wiring harness to:
• the generator (page 14)
• thermostats (optional) (page 29)
• external shutdown switch (optional) (page 30)
• external ON/OFF switch and LED (optional) (page 30)
3. Connecting the wiring harness to the 20-contact connector on the
AGS.
4. Connecting the AGS to the Xanbus System Control Panel (SCP) and
other network-enabled devices (page 33).
Mounting the Unit
The AGS is to be mounted vertically on a wall with the connectors facing
downwards.
To mount the AGS:
1. Hold the unit flush and square against the wall, panel, or horizontal
surface.
• If the mounting surface requires pre-drill holes for the screws, use
the supplied mounting template to mark, then drill, four holes.
2. With a Phillips screwdriver and the supplied mounting screws, secure
each corner of the AGS to the mounting surface.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Before installing the AGS as part of a pre-existing Xanbus system, put
the system in Standby in order to disable the electrical operation of
networked devices. See “Putting the AGS in Standby Mode” on page 67.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious
injury.
IMPORTANT:
Because each installation varies according to the location,
the type of generator, and the overall complexity of the Xanbus system,
these instructions can offer only general guidelines for the many
installation options available.
