Gen Run Hold Time
Full name Generator Run Signal Hold Time
Purpose “Gen Run Hold Time” specifies the length of time the generator run
signal (or B+ or hour meter signal) must be active before the XW Auto
Generator Start considers the generator to be running and cranking can be
stopped.
Some generators assert their run signal when they are being cranked, but
before they have started. They also have varying delays from when
cranking begins or ends to when the run signal is asserted or unasserted.
The Run Hold Time is designed to accommodate these generators.
Considerations This setting is automatically configured when a “Gen Type” is selected
for the generator. Manually change this setting only on the advice of the
generator manufacturer or authorized service personnel.
Crank Delay
Purpose “Crank Delay” specifies the delay time from when the preheat relay is de-
energized to when the Start Relay is energized (and cranking the starter
motor). This is also referred to as the preheat-to-crank delay.
Considerations This setting is automatically configured when a “Gen Type” is selected
for the generator. Manually change this setting only on the advice of the
generator manufacturer or authorized service personnel.
Crank Time
Purpose “Crank Time” specifies the maximum length of time the Start relay is
engaged (and cranking the starter motor) for the first attempt to start the
generator.
Considerations This setting is automatically configured when a “Gen Type” is selected
for the generator. Manually change this setting only on the advice of the
generator manufacturer or authorized service personnel.
