Xantrex Technology XW - Manual (Page 74)

Configuration
3–24 975-0307-01-01
Exercise Time
Purpose “Exercise Time” sets the time of day that the XW Auto Generator Start
exercises the generator.
The “Exercise Time” trigger requires that any parameter other than “0” be
set in “Exercise Per” and a value be set in the “Exercise Dur” trigger.
Considerations If the Exercise Time is set, the generator will start at that time after being
inactive for the Exercise Period.
If the Exercise Time occurs during Quiet Time, the generator will start
when Quiet Time is over and run for the full amount of time set for
“Exercise Dur”.
Relay3
Purpose “Relay3” sets the function of Relay 3 of the XW Auto Generator Start.
The function of Relay 3 affects contacts 19 and 20 of the 20-contact
connector and external wiring harness.
Considerations Selecting a value for “Gen Type” automatically configures “Relay3”.
It might be necessary to manually set “Relay3” according to the make and
type of generator being used.
Some diesel generators require preheating of their glow plugs before start
cranking. Setting “Relay3” to Preheat enables Relay 3 to perform this
function in addition to Relay 1.
Some generators require Relay 3 to switch 12 volts to the glow plugs,
while some generators require ground to be switched to the glow plugs.
“ PreheatSDByp ” stands for Preheat with Shutdown Bypass. Some
generators require preheat on relay 3 to remain high for crank time and
shutdown bypass period. See “GlowStop Mode” on page C–4 for more
details.
