Operation
If the power becomes unacceptable at any point (including while warming up), the inverter will open the
generator relay and display a status of
Error
. (
Info
will indicate the specific problem.) It will not shut off
the generator in the expectation that the power will return to normal.
If no power is received after three minutes of attempting the start sequence, the inverter will cease any
starting attempts.
Status
will display
Error
. (
Info
will indicate
Generator failed to start
.) This error
must be cleared before the inverter can attempt to start the generator again (see page 22). The
EVENTS
view will also display details. (See page 24.)
When the run period is over (whether due to automatic criteria or a manual command), the inverter
opens its relay and displays
COOLING DOWN
. During this countdown, the generator is allowed to
run with no load.
When the
Cool down time
setting expires, the
A
UX
connection sends a stop command.
SOC Start
When the battery discharges to the
Start SoC (%)
set point, the generator will start and the inverter
will use generator power to charge the batteries. When the battery is charged to the
Stop SoC (%)
set point, the generator will stop.
These settings will only operate when the
Start on low battery
item is enabled.
The system graphic under the
STATUS
view will show the system’s measured SoC.
(
See page 16
.)
NOTE:
When using the Mojave Lithium-Ion Battery (which uses BMS to determine SoC),
this is the most advisable mode to use
Voltage Start
When the batteries discharge to any of several selected low-voltage points for a designated period
of time, the generator will start and the batteries will be charged. The designated time periods are
24 hours, 2 hours, and 2 minutes. When the inverter completes a battery charge (see page 44),
the generator will stop. The generator will also stop if it reaches the
Max SOC (%)
set point (see
page
Error! Bookmark not defined.
) before reaching the end of the cycle.
If the battery voltage decreases below any of these set points, the designated timer starts counting down.
If the voltage increases above the set point, the timer resets to maximum.
The timers also reset to maximum when AGS stops the generator or upon an AGS fault.
When any timer reaches zero (0), a start command is sent to the generator.
These timers cannot be viewed.
The three time designations are meant to show increasing levels of urgency (due to increased
battery discharge). The voltages should be set accordingly.
24 hour start voltage
is intended to start the generator after a mild battery discharge.
2 hour start voltage
is intended to start the generator after a major battery discharge.
2 minute start voltage
is intended to start the generator after a critical battery discharge.
This is considered an emergency start and should be set accordingly. It is the only AGS setting that
will override
Quiet Time
.
These settings will only operate when the
Start on low battery
item is enabled.
