46 Xanbus Automatic Generator Start (AGS) Owner’s Guide
Configuration of the Xanbus AGS
Start DCV 15 min
Full Name Starting Battery Voltage—15 minutes
Purpose The "Start DCV 15 min" trigger enables the AGS to start the
generator whenever the battery voltage reaches or drops below a pre-set
voltage for longer than 15 minutes.
The AGS will stop the generator when the battery voltage has risen to the
"Stop V", or when the batteries have been recharged to the Absorption or
Float stage.
Dependencies The "Start DCV 15 min" trigger requires the AGS to be
in Automatic mode and needs the "Stop Absorb" or "Stop Float"
trigger be enabled or a parameter to be set for the "Stop V" trigger.
Considerations If the voltage trigger is set too high, the generator will
start more frequently than is convenient.
If the voltage trigger is set too low, the batteries may be damaged by
repeated cycles of excessive discharge. The generator running time
necessary to charge the batteries may exceed "Max Run Time" and use too
much fuel in the process.
Battery Voltage Information Battery voltage can be monitored from the
System screen or the inverter/charger menu.
If "Stop Float" or "Stop Absorb" has been enabled, the generator will
stop when the Float or Absorption stages of the battery charging have
begun.
If the "Stop V" is used, the generator will stop when the battery voltage
reaches the parameter set in this trigger, regardless of whether the batteries
are charged.
