Schneider Electric XW+ Automatic Generator Start (AGS)

Manufacturer Part Number: RNW865-1060-01

The Schneider Electric XW+ and SW Auto Generator Start (XW+ and SW AGS) will automatically activate a generator to provide an Schneider Series Hybrid Inverter/Charger with power to recharge a depleted battery bank or provide additional power for heavy loads. The XW+ and SW AGS adds intelligence to generator management, thereby eliminating time spent monitoring batteries and inverter loads. It does this by continuously monitoring the battery voltage, state-of-charge, or the inverter charge mode, starting and stopping the generator when the battery needs additional charging. The XW+ and SW AGS will also start the generator to assist the system’s inverter/charger(s) when output power demands are high.

The XW+ and SW AGScan be customized to suit each user’s preferences. The user can define whether the generator should be activated by low-battery voltage, state-of-charge, thermostat operation, or load on the inverter(s). A quiet-time setting prevents the generator from starting at inconvenient times. LED lights display the status of the XW+ and SW AGS, while all user-defined settings are programmed through the Scheider Electric System Control Panel (SCP).

Interfaces with: Schneider Electric Hybrid Inverter/Chargers, XW Solar Charge Controllers, and XW+ and SW System Control Panel

Features

• LED display showing at-a-glance status
• 20-contact generator connector and three built-in relays support 13 preset generator configurations
• Build-in emergency shutdown
• Xanbustm-enabled

Operational

• Compatibility - the Schneider Electric XW AGS connects to other Xanbustm enabled XW System devices without requiring additional hubs, control cards, or other device-specific control panels
• Works with AC or DC generators with either two-wire or three-wire start controls
• Configurability - comprehensive customizable triggers based on low-battery voltage, change in charging state, high inverter load, thermostat signals, planned exercise periods, max run-time, and quiet time settings.
• Non-volatile memory - preserves XS AGS settings even if the network power is interrupted or network communication is disrupted.

Regulatory Approvals

• Safety: CSA certified to CSA 107.1-01 and UL 458 4th edition including the Marine Supplement
• EMC: FCC Part 15B Class B Industry Canada, ICES-0003 Class B

Detailed Description

The Schneider Electric XW Auto Generator Start (XW AGS) will automatically activate a generator to provide an XW Series Hybrid Inverter/Charger with power to recharge a depleted battery bank or provide additional power for heavy loads. The XW AGS adds intelligence to generator management, thereby eliminating time spent monitoring batteries and inverter loads. It does this by continuously monitoring the battery voltage, state-of-charge, or the inverter charge mode, starting and stopping the generator when the battery needs additional charging. The XS AGS will also start the generator to assist the system's inverter/charger(s) when output power demands are high.

The XW AGS can be customized to suit each user's preferences. The user can define whether the generator should be activated by low-battery voltage, state-of-charge, thermostat operation, or load on the inverter(s). A quiet-time setting prevents the generator from starting at inconvenient times. LED lights display the status of the XW AGS, while all user-defined settings are programmed through the XW system control panel (XW SCP).
