Remote Switch Operation
The AGS remote switch (see Figure 4-2) provides information and
enables you to operate the controller. The remote switch receives its
power from the controller through the communications cable, and
comes on automatically when power is applied to the AGS controller.
The remote switch provides an ENABLE position to activate the auto
gen system, an OFF position to turn the auto gen system off, and
a momentary TEST position that allows the auto gen system to be
tested remotely. A STATUS indicator is also included to remotely
view system status.
4.2.1 Switch
Positions
OFF
– When the AGS switch is placed in the
OFF
position, the
STATUS
indicator will be off and all AGS generator start functions
are disabled.
ENABLE
(
normal operating position)
–
When the AGS switch is
placed in the
ENABLE
position, the AGS system is activated/enabled
and now monitors battery voltage and/or temperature to determine
when to automatically start the generator.
TEST
– When the AGS switch is pushed to the momentary TEST
position, the AGS initiates an automatic generator start/stop
sequence. This test attempts to turn on the connected generator and
allow it to run for at least 30 seconds before turning the generator
off. This start/stop test is used to con
fi
rm that all wiring from
the generator to the AGS is correct and that the AGS is correctly
con
fi
gured for your generator type.
Info:
Pushing and releasing the momentary
TEST
position
enables the same test as pressing and releasing the red
TEST
pushbutton switch on the AGS controller.
