Xanbus Automatic Generator Start Installation
Multiple generator control panels or simple contact closures can be wired to
the external manual ON/OFF inputs. The 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 60). The 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 55).
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
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.
