5.0 ME-AGS-N Module Operation
This section details the operation of the ME-AGS-N module (independent of
the remote control operation).
5.1 ME-AGS-N Module TEST Pushbutton
The front of the module (Figure 5-1) has a red pushbutton to test the AGS
system operation. When the red TEST pushbutton is pressed and released,
the AGS initiates an automatic generator start/stop sequence. This test
attempts to turn the connected generator on and to have it run for at least
30 seconds before turning off. This start/stop test is used to con
rm that
all wiring from the generator to the AGS is correct and that the AGS is
con
gured correctly for your generator type.
Note:
If the generator is running from an autostart condition when the AGS
modules TEST button is pressed, the AGS will turn the generator off and
initiate an automatic generator start/stop test sequence (running 30-60
seconds) using 4 autostart attempts if needed.
5.2 ME-AGS-N Module LED Indicators
The front of the module (Figure 5-1) has two LED indicators for viewing
system operation.
5.2.1 STATUS LED Indicator
Blinking Green:
Indicates that the AGS system is initiating a generator
start sequence. This happens when the TEST button (on the AGS) has been
pressed and released, or a remote control has communicated to the AGS to
autostart the generator.
Solid Green:
Indicates the generator has started successfully and is providing
the gen run sense signal/voltage to the AGS module.
Solid Red:
Indicates a fault condition in which the generator either has not
started, or has not provided the correct run gen sense signal/voltage to the
AGS module after four start attempts.
5.2.2 READY LED Indicator
Solid Green:
Indicates the AGS module has power and the temperature sen-
sor cable is detected. This indicates normal AGS system operation.
Blinking Green:
Indicates that the AGS module has power, but the tempera-
ture sensor is not detected. This can mean the temperature sensor cable is
either not connected, incorrectly connected, or is defective.
Note:
The temperature sensor is not required to be connected unless the
temperature autostart feature is needed.
