Installation
Overview Installing the XW Auto Generator Start involves the following steps:
1. Mounting the unit.
2. Connecting the wiring harness to:
• the generator (page 2–8)
• thermostats (optional) (page 2–22)
• external shutdown switch (optional) (page 2–22)
• external ON/OFF switch and LED (optional) (page 2–23)
3. Connecting the wiring harness to the 20-contact connector on the XW
Auto Generator Start.
4. Connecting the XW Auto Generator Start to the XW System Control
Paneland other network-enabled devices (page 2–26).
Mounting the Unit
The XW Auto Generator Start is to be mounted vertically on a wall with
the connectors facing downwards.
To mount the XW Auto Generator Start:
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 #6 screws, secure each
corner of the XW Auto Generator Start to the mounting surface.
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.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Before installing the XW Auto Generator Start 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 XW Auto Generator Start in Standby Mode”
on page 4–6.
