Crank Retry Time
Purpose
“Crank Retry Time” specifies the length of time the Start relay is engaged
(and cranking the starter motor) for the second and subsequent attempts to
start the generator, in cases when the generator fails to start on the first
attempt.
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.
Preheat Time
Purpose
“Preheat Time” specifies how long the Preheat relay is engaged during the
start sequence. The preheat signal may be required for diesel generators
with glow plugs or fuel priming for gas generators.
The Preheat relay may be Relay 1 or Relay 3, depending on the “Relay3”
setting or the Gen Type selected.
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.
Gen Start Tries
“Gen Start Tries” specifies how many times the XW Auto Generator Start
will attempt to start the generator. On the first start try, the XW Auto
Generator Start cranks the starter motor for the Crank Time. If the
generator does not start, on subsequent start tries, the XW Auto Generator
Start cranks the start motor for the Crank Retry Time.
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.
