So as you know i'll be buying Schneider Electric 6048 split phaze interverter / this feb 2022.

Q: Anyone know is my Generator / Ariens ( HONDA GX 390 ENgine) with electric start will work with schneider auto start module?
No since buying it if not compatible.

Q2: What does Commissioning Units Using a Xantrex XW System Control Panel. ..mean?

    Does it have connectors for remote start ?   Otherwise, you will have to "rig" something up

    If it produces clean 240VAC, the inverter should have no trouble accepting it.

    Hi o g c,

    According to the Manual,  for the Ariens generator model that met the Search criteria,  has a MANUAL CHOKE.   These can be difficult/impossible to start,  without choking.

    For this reason,  alone,  would think that this genset will not work well with AGS.

    Usually the Schneider SCP gizmo is an optional,   but necessary accessory..

    IMO,   Good Luck,  Vic
