Xantrex Automatic Generator Start SW2012 SW3012 Requires SCP Product Description

Imagine waking up in your RV or boat to fully charged batteries without lifting a finger—or listening for the hum of your generator at the wrong hour. The Xantrex Automatic Generator Start (AGS) module changes the game for off-grid power users by intelligently managing when your generator kicks in. Paired with Freedom SW Inverter/Chargers, this Xanbus-enabled device monitors your system's needs and fires up the generator only when necessary, keeping batteries topped up and heavy appliances running smoothly.

Why Automate Your Generator Start?

In remote setups like cabins, marine vessels, or mobile adventures, manual generator monitoring drains time and energy. This AGS eliminates that hassle with smart triggers based on real-world conditions. Whether batteries dip low during a rainy camping weekend or your air conditioner demands extra juice, it responds precisely. Users love how it adapts to their lifestyle, ensuring reliable power without constant oversight.

Smart Triggers for Tailored Power Management

Customization is at the heart of this system. Set it to start based on:

  • Battery voltage thresholds to catch deep discharges early.
  • State of charge (SOC) for precise monitoring in lithium or lead-acid setups.
  • Thermostat signals, handling up to two AC units seamlessly.
  • Inverter load currents during peak usage spikes.

Plus, programmable Quiet Time locks out starts during rest hours, respecting your schedule and neighbors.

Effortless Integration and Control

As a network version, it thrives in Xanbus ecosystems. LED indicators give instant status glances—ready, running, or faulted—while full configuration happens through the intuitive System Control Panel (SCP). No guesswork: adjust start delays, run times, and exercise cycles to match your generator's quirks. Built-in emergency shutdown via external input adds safety for unattended operation.

Proven Reliability Across Applications

Designed for demanding environments, it meets UL458 standards for marine and RV use. Off-grid solar hybrid owners pair it with MS or RS Inverter/Chargers for seamless generator support when panels fall short. Boat captains rely on it for stable house bank power, and RVers appreciate hands-free operation on long trips. Its broad compatibility spans popular brands, making retrofits straightforward.

Real-User Advantages Beyond the Basics

  • Energy Savings: Starts only when needed, extending generator life and fuel efficiency.
  • Peace of Mind: Wake to charged systems, not surprises.
  • Versatility: Handles diverse loads from fridges to microwaves without overloads.
  • Durability: Rugged build for vibration-heavy mobile life.

Backed by a solid warranty, it's a long-term investment in hassle-free power.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Xantrex AGS different from basic generator starters?

Unlike simple timers, it uses advanced triggers like battery SOC and load sensing for smarter, more efficient starts tailored to your power needs.

Do I need the SCP to use this AGS module?

Yes, the System Control Panel is required for programming and full control of settings like Quiet Time and triggers.

Which generators work with this automatic start?

It's compatible with major brands including Onan, Kohler, Westerbeke, Northern Lights, Generac, and Powertech for wide applicability.

Can it handle multiple thermostats?

Absolutely—dual thermostat inputs let it manage up to two air conditioners independently.

Is this suitable for marine or RV use?

Yes, certified to UL458 standards, making it ideal for boats and recreational vehicles.

How does Quiet Time work?

You define no-start windows, like overnight, to prevent unwanted noise during rest periods.

The New Xanbus Automatic Generator Start (AGS) is a control module that automatically activate a generator to provide Freedom SW Inverter/Charger with power to recharge depleted batteries or assist with heavy loads. Having an AGS in your system means that power is available and battery banks are charged automatically so you do not have to spend time monitoring power consumption. The AGS can be customized to suit each user’s preferences. A user can define whether the generator should be activated by low battery voltage, battery state of charge, thermostat operation, or load size on the inverter. A Quiet Time setting prevents the generator from starting at inconvenient times like nightfall. LED lights display the status of the AGS, while all user defined settings are programmed through the Xanbus System Control Panel (SCP). The AGS is configured and controlled by the Xanbus System Control Panel (SCP). The SCP provides you with comprehensive control of your AGS through a user friendly interface that is easy to understand and operate.
