AGS Load Start
Load Start
will start a generator whenever the total system AC load wattage exceeds the
Start
set point
for the programmed amount of time (
Delay
). The generator will then be stopped when the AC load has
dropped below a
Stop
set point for a programmed amount of time (
Delay
).
When the generator is running because of
Load Start
, the inverter system will charge the batteries.
However, it is not programmed to perform a complete charge cycle. This charge might not be completed
if the generator is disconnected because of a
Stop
command.
IMPORTANT:
Large, instantaneous loads can still overload the inverter prior to the generator
starting and getting sychronizing with with the inverter.
See the inverter
Operator’s Manual
for instructions on resetting the system if an over-
current fault occurs.
