-An internal relay on a [[venus-os:start|Venus-device]] (eg [[https://www.victronenergy.com/panel-systems-remote-monitoring/color-control|CCGX]]/[[https://www.victronenergy.com/panel-systems-remote-monitoring/venus-gx|Venus GX]]) can be used to automatically start and stop a generator. This relay - or switch - can be 'tripped' by a number of user-defined conditions. This manual will explain what conditions are available to you; and it will guide you through the steps required to set-up this useful functionality.

 This is one of the available options to automatically start and stop a generator. See the [[auto-generator-start-stop:start|]] document for an overview of all options. More general information about  using a generator in combination with Victron is available [[:multiplus_faq|here]].

   * **Minimum run time**: It's good practice for a generator, once started, to be allowed to reach its operating temperature. When started manually this setting is ignored.
-  * **Detect generator at AC input**: Enabling this feature will raise an alarm on the GX device, as well as trigger an alarm email from the VRM portal(1), whenever power is //not// detected at the AC input terminal of the Inverter/Charger. This function will bring attention to a wide variety of problems; such as lack of fuel, or a mechanical or electrical fault at the generator. This functionality is not available for VE.Can connected Multi/Quattro. (1) requires automatic alarm monitoring on VRM to be enabled. Which it is by default.
