58 Xanbus Automatic Generator Start (AGS) Owner’s Guide
Configuration of the Xanbus AGS
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.
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.
