Temp1
Full name Thermostat 1
Purpose The “Temp1” trigger enables the generator to start in response to a signal
from a thermostat. With “Temp1” set to [Enabled], the XW Auto
Generator Start will start the generator to help power the item controlled
by that thermostat.
When to use Enable this setting if a thermostat is available that controls a component
that has a high-power requirement such as a furnace or an air conditioning
system.
Considerations If this setting is enabled, the generator will start in response to a signal
from the thermostat. Everything related to setting the thermostat must be
done on the thermostat. For example: setting the temperature at which the
furnace or air conditioning system comes on must be done on the
thermostat. There are no thermostat temperature settings on the XW Auto
Generator Start or the XW System Control Panel.
If this setting is disabled, the component connected to that thermostat will
require that the generator be started manually in order for that component
to have power. Otherwise, the component will need to be connected to
another AC input source.
Temp2
Full name Thermostat 2
Purpose “Temp2” is intended to be used when the XW Auto Generator Start is
connected to a second thermostat. All information and procedures for
“Temp1” also apply for “Temp2”.
Load
Full name Enable Inverter Load Start and Stop Triggers
Purpose The “Load” trigger enables or disables the Start on Inverter Load Current
and Stop on Inverter Load Current functionality of the XW Auto
Generator Start. This function enables the generator to start and stop
based on the current being drawn on the inverter by the loads. See “Start
Load” and “Stop Load” on page 3–20.
