    Wiring a Xantrex AGS to the Onan generator

    Has anyone wired the auto start to their generator? I have a Xantrex 2012 inverter with monitor and want to wire the auto gen inline with it. Can I splice into the generator genie ? What wires do I connect and which program do I pick ? Here are some pics to help decipher what I am saying 🙂

    Look at the Magnum stand alone AGS, it is only $210 online and wires in right to the generator, I have it mounted on the side cabinet of the generator. Works great and no compatibility issues to worry about.
    We started with a old 24ft stick and tin in 2006, then purchased our first new trailer in 2013 with an Ecplise 23SCG thinking this would be our last trailer. That was until we unexpectedly took in a family members children on top of the 3 we had, so we now have 1 biological and 4 adopted children for a total of 5 children. So here we are, just purchased a new 2018 Momentum 388M to keep our sanity with seven people and two 100 lb dogs. We like primarily dry camping in the forest but try to take the children every summer for a 2-4 week adventure showing them different parts of the country. Thanks to my job as a Paramedic Firefighter I get to spend a lot of time camping with the children throughout the year.

    Thanks mark but I have the Xantrex system and the AGS plugs into the existing monitor. I just need to know what wires I need to hook up. IE gen start, gen stop, prime and gen timer.

    We’re you ever able to successfully complete the install of your AGS? If so, do you care to share the details?

    This is a stand alone unit, it has its own switch to turn off and on with its own built in temp and voltage switch from what I know? I did not wire mine in but paid a Rv tech to do it and it wired straight into the generator. I do not run a Xantrex inverter though. I believe there is a different model that can integrate with certain hardware. What is the reason for wanting it to integrate into the existing system and not use as a stand alone independent system?

    Never mind my previous comment, that is the My RV system. If your "MY RV" system was prior to the point it came with auto gen start feature there is no way to integrate it into the system last time I checked. The best thing to do is put in the Magnum Stand alone AGS I mentioned above. The question is what is your desire for having it integrated rather than as a stand alone feature?
