Time feature, which prevents the generator from starting during evening
hours or other inconvenient times (see “QT Begin” on page 3–8, “QT
End” on page 3–9, and “Using Quiet Time” on page 4–4).
Automatic
Mode Overrides When the XW Auto Generator Start is in Automatic mode, several
settings and conditions override automatic start and stop triggers. These
overrides include, in order of priority:
• Faults—The XW Auto Generator Start stops the generator when a
fault occurs.
• External Shutdown—When the XW Auto Generator Start is
connected to a sensor or meter (a moisture detector, for example)
wired to contacts 5 and 6 of the 20-contact connector, it stops the
generator when the device is activated. See “Connecting an External
Shutdown (optional)” on page 2–22.
• External On/Off—The generator is manually started or stopped with a
switch wired to contacts 7 and 8 of the 20-contact connector. See
“Connecting an External Manual ON/OFF Switch (optional)” on
page 2–23. When started with an external manual ON/OFF switch,
the generator will not stop when it reaches Max Run Time. The
generator must be stopped using the external manual ON/OFF switch.
• Max Run Time—When the generator has exceeded its maximum run
time, a warning message will appear on the XW System Control
Panel. The XW Auto Generator Start will stop operating until the
warning is acknowledged by pressing Enter on the XW System
Control Panel. See “Max Run Time” on page 3–22.
• Manual On—The generator is started by selecting Manual On mode.
• Manual Off—The generator is stopped by selecting Manual Off
mode.
Manual On Mode
Selecting Manual On Mode overrides the automatic start settings and
manually starts the generator. The generator will run until it is manually
stopped or until it reaches its XW Auto Generator Start-defined
Maximum Run Time (see “Max Run Time” on page 3–22).
