PRELIMINARY DRAFT
PRO-Verter AGS Troubleshooting
These tests are applicable when the PRO-Verter is connected to a fuel driven generator that has
been modified with a Remote-start Enabling Kit (RsEK).
When the autostart/autostop settings have been established and programmed, perform the
following tests to verify that the AGS system is functioning correctly and there is communication
between the remote/inverter and the AGS.
Note:
The AGS Test Button is a momentary switch that allows the AGS system to be tested for
correct wiring and generator start/stop operation.
PRO-Verter-to-Generator Communication Test
This section describes using the LCD User Interface to start the generator and to determine the
AGS status.
Determining AGS Status
Use the LCD User Interface to determine the AGS’s status:
1. Press the METER button until the bottom line displays “01 DC Meters”.
2. Rotate the SELECT dial to the 04 AGS Meters menu, and then press the SELECT dial. The top
line shows 04A AGS Status and the bottom line displays the current status of the AGS.
An AGS status of Off or Ready indicates the User Interface and the inverter is communicating with
the AGS. If the AGS status is not Off or Ready, then refer to section
or section
Resolving AGS Faults Using the LCD User Interface
for assistance before
continuing.
Starting the Generator from the PRO-Verter User Interface
To confirm that the generator will turn on and run from the PRO-Verter, first ensure the AGS status is
Off or Ready. Then:
1. Press the CTRL button, and then rotate the SELECT dial to the 03 Gen Control menu.
2. Press the SELECT dial, and then rotate it to the ON setting.
3. Press the SELECT dial to activate the generator test. The selection arrow appears to the right of
the screen. The generator should start.
Note:
Once the generator starts, it should run until 03 Gen Control is changed to OFF.
If the AGS/generator system started, and if the STATUS LED on the AGS turns solid green after two
(2) minutes, then the wiring from the AGS to the generator is correct. The AGS may now be enabled
by setting the remote’s 03 Gen Control setting to “AUTO”.
If the LCD User Interface displays a generator fault, or if the AGS’s STATUS LED continues to blink
or shows a fault condition (solid red LED indication), refer to the AGS owner’s manual for assistance.
