Multiple generator control panels or simple contact closures can be wired
to the external manual ON/OFF inputs. The XW Auto Generator Start
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 3–28). The XW Auto Generator Start 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 3–22).
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 XW Auto Generator
Start) 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.
