5.0 Troubleshooting
The two LED indicators on the front of the AGS controller indicate
how the AGS is operating and can help troubleshoot the AGS system.
The STATUS indicator is a bi-color (green or red) LED to indicate the
AGS status. The READY indicator is a green LED to indicate if the
AGS has power and if the remote switch is connected (Table 5-1).
The AGS controller will perform a self test when power is
fi rst
applied. The green READY indicator comes on (solid), and at the
same time the STATUS indicator fl ashes green once. If the self-test
is successful, test the AGS system for proper operation by pressing
and releasing the AGS remote switch to the TEST position. The
STATUS indicator begins to fl ash green and the AGS should start the
generator. Once the generator starts, the STATUS indicator should
light solid green and the generator should run for approximately 30
seconds—and then shut off. If the generator does not start and stop
as expected, refer to the troubleshooting chart below.
WARNING: Completely unplug the green 8-port terminal
block from the AGS before servicing the electrical/generator
system to prevent harm to servicing personnel.
LED Indication Symptom Solution
STATUS is ON
red = Gen Fault
1) Gen won’t start;
or, 2) Gen won’t
run. Starts, but is
stopped by AGS
(B+ or run sense
voltage not sensed
to Terminal #2)
Check gen to AGS start wiring; or
check B+ wiring from gen to AGS.
Measure DC voltage from Terminal
2 (+) to Terminal 4 (–), ensure
DC voltage is 10-40 volts only
when the generator is running.
