Harold,
i would call Xantrex and just tell them you need the XWS configuration tool, tell them you are trying to use a 2 wire generator and need option 13 on the auto-start controller in order for it to work.

the wires are N1 and N2 off of the generator.
yellow and blue, it needs 240VAC.
breaking the 240VAC (only one leg) that will close the start relay on the generator.

i just did it with a Guardian 8kw unit (same thing)
you have to get the xantrex upgrade tool to load the latest firmware into the auto-start.
you will need to choose option 13 which will become available when you do the upgrade.
I broke 1 leg of the 2 wire (240vac) start wiring.
