Important: Because each installation varies according to the location, the
type of generator, and the overall complexity of the Xanbus system, these
instructions can offer only general guidelines for the many installation options
available.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Before installing the XW Automatic Generator Start as part of a pre-existing
Xanbus system, put the system in Standby in order to disable the electrical
operation of networked devices. See the Automatic Generator Start Owner’s
