Configuration of the Xanbus AGS
Sometimes automatic start or automatic stop triggers may overlap with the
beginning and end of quiet time. Three different quiet time scenarios affect
when the generator stops and starts.
1. If quiet time begins after the AGS has started the generator, the
generator will stop. If the condition that started the generator is still
present when quiet time ends, the generator will restart.
2. If a condition that requires starting the generator occurs during quiet
time, the AGS will ignore it until quiet time ends. If the condition still
exists at the end of quiet time, the AGS will start the generator.
3. If the running generator stops when quiet time begins and a condition
that requires stopping the generator occurs during quiet time, the
generator will not restart when quiet time ends.
QT Begin
Full name Quiet Time Begin
Purpose "QT Begin" defines the start of quiet time.
Dependencies "QT Begin" functions only if the AGS is in Automatic
mode. This setting requires "QT En" be set to [Enabled].
Ensure the clock on the Xanbus System Control Panel (SCP) is set to the
correct local time.
IMPORTANT:
If quiet time is set for overnight, be aware that overnight
battery drain can be significant as it may be necessary to use the inverter
and batteries to supply AC Power without the help of a generator.
Therefore, it is important to conserve battery power during this time.
Minimize the use of interior lights and set thermostat temperature lower to
prevent the furnace from coming on at night during cool weather. Set
thermostats higher to prevent air conditioning coming on at night during
warm weather.
Value Description
12:00AM to
11:59PM (12-hour
clock)
00:00 to 23:59
(24-hour clock)
At the time set for "QT Begin", the generator
will stop (if it is running) and not be able to start
again until the time set for "QT End". It ignores
all automatic start triggers during the time period
between "QT Begin" and "QT End".
