Generator Starting Scenarios
The Sine Wave Plus can be configured to start and stop a majority of
backup generators, either manually or automatically. Automatic operation
can be triggered based on time, AC current, battery voltage, or to
exercising the generator.
Using automatic generator control features will require the programming
of the following Advanced Menu Headings:
• 24 Generator Timers Menu – This Menu sets parameters for
starting the generator based on time. In this menu, you can set the
generator to start and stop at a specified time. You can specify a quiet
time, an exercise time, and a cooldown period for the generator.
See “24 Generator Timers Menu” on page 7–26 for specific
instructions on programming these menu items.
• 25 GEN Starting Details Menu – This Menu sets parameters for
starting the generator based on type of generator used.
See “25 Gen Starting Details Menu” on page 7–29 for specific
instructions on programming these menu items into the Sine Wave
Plus .
• 26 GEN Auto Run Setup Menu – This Menu sets parameters for
starting the generator based on AC current and/or battery voltage.
See “26 Gen Auto Run Setup Menu” on page 7–38 for more
information on setting the parameters for starting generators based on
AC current and battery voltage.
Manual Generator Control
The generator equipped for remote starting capabilities can be remotely
started by selecting ON from 02A Generator. If the generator started in
this manner, the 02C GEN Start Volts/Manual menu item will display
YES.
Important: Automatic generator control features require the additional purchase of the
Xantrex GSM.
CAUTION: Damage to Generator
Generators used with this feature must have automatic-start capabilities and be
designed for stand-alone operation. Engine systems should self-protect against
any conditions that may cause the generator to malfunction or become damaged.
