10.0 Using the ME-RTR Router
SETUP: 04G Quiet Time Menu
This menu is used to enable the Quiet Time feature, and to set the period
of time each day in which the generator is not allowed to automatically run.
The Quiet Time start setting will prevent the generator from starting even
if one of the start parameters is met. If any autostart parameter in the
04
AGS Setup
menus has been met and the generator is running when the Quiet
Time start setting is reached, the generator will turn off. The generator will
not try to autostart until the Quiet Time stop setting has been reached and
an autostart condition is once again satisfied.
The ME-ARC contains a real time clock that must be set for proper
operation of the
SETUP: 04G Quiet Time Menu
feature.
Set Quiet Time
Set to
ON
(allows you to set the start and stop times).
Default setting:
Set Quiet Time = OFF
Range:
OFF, ON,
[daily start and stop time settings
(12:00AM-12:00PM)
]
Info:
When the generator autostarts from one of the autostart set-
tings, it will autostop when the autostop parameter for that particu-
lar setting has been satis
ed. For example, if the generator starts
due to the
04A Gen Run VDC
menus autostart setting, it then stops
once it satis
es the
Stop Gen Volts
autostop setting. However, the
Max Gen Run Time
setting overrides any autostop setting. If the
generator stops because the
Max Gen Run Time
setting has been
reached, the
Fault MaxRun
status will occur. If this happens, you
may have to increase the
Max Gen Run Time
setting or adjust the
autostop setting to
nish sooner. If multiple autostart settings are
set in the
04 AGS Setup
menus and a
Fault MaxRun
status occurs,
refer to the METER buttons
03A AGS Status
menu to identify which
condition autostarted the generator. This way you will know which
auto condition is running longer than the
Max Gen Run Time
setting.
Info:
The
Max Gen Run Time
menu uses the METER buttons
03C
Gen Run Time
display to determine the generators run time.
Info:
If the generator is stopped due to the
Max Gen Run Time
param-
eter being met, the status becomes
Fault MaxRn
and the generator
will not autostart again until you clear the fault.
SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run Time Menu
This menu is used to set the maximum time the generator will run if the
generator has been started by one of the AGSs autostart settings.
• Set Max Gen Run Time
Set the maximum amount of time you want
the generator to run once it has been autostarted.
Default setting:
Set Max Gen Run Time = 12.0 Hrs
Range:
0.0 - 25.0 Hrs (0.1 hr increments)
Why should I use Max Gen Run Time?
This setting is used to ensure the
generator does not run longer than desired after an autostart. Designating
a maximum run time ensures that the generator will stop if the autostop
setting cannot be satis
ed. For example, if you know the fuel capacity of
your generator is 5 hours, set the
Max Gen Run Time
setting to
4.5 hours
to
ensure the generator does not run out of fuel.
