Generator Control
The
Generator
item in the
Action Menu
(see page 22) will manually start or stop a generator when
set to
On
or
Off
. When set to
Auto
, it will start and stop the generator automatically once the
requirements for
AGS
are met (under the
Generator
tab). A "start command" in the Mojave
inverter refers to either situation. (See the next page for more explanation of automatic control.)
The
A
UX
connections send generator commands. It is more common for the start circuit on a two-
wire-start generator to use dry contacts. However, either a 12-volt output or “dry” relay contacts
can be used, as shown in the
Quick Start Guide
.
If using a generator with a three-wire-start circuit, a three-wire to two-wire conversion kit may be
needed in conjunction with the
A
UX
. Atkinson Electronics (
www:atkinsonelectronics.com
) is
one company that makes these kits. The Atkinson GSM-Mini is intended to work with OutBack
Power products.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
These functions, particularly AGS, can damage the generator or the batteries
if either are not properly maintained. Be sure to follow all maintenance
requirements for all the components in the system to prevent unnecessary and
expensive damage.
NOTES:
When
Start
is pressed, the generator will continue to run until commanded to
Stop
. It will not stop automatically unless AGS is in use.
The
Cool down time
setting only applies when AGS is in use. It is not used
during a manual stop.
