Installation

To connect the monitored battery bank to the AGS:
1.  Route and connect a wire (black) from the monitored battery 

bank’s negative terminal to Terminal 4 on the AGS.

2.  Route and connect a wire (red) with a 5-amp in-line fuse from 

the monitored battery bank’s positive terminal to Terminal 3.

2.6.2  Generator Run Sense Connection (Terminals 2 & 4)

A gen run sense signal/voltage is required as it alerts the AGS that 

the generator is running; which prevents another starter crank to 

the generator. If the gen run sense signal is not provided to the 

AGS, the AGS commands the generator to autostop (in case the gen 

is running), and then attempts another autostart sequence (up to 

four start attempts before a gen start fault occurs). The Gen Type 

switch setting (under Section 3.1) determines the required gen run 

sense signal/voltage that must be provided to the AGS.
•  Gen Type is 2-Wire Standby Mode* – A fully automatic 

generator (can start, run and stop using only two wires) may be 

able to use the 2-Wire Standby setting (see Gen Type settings 

in Section 3.1). When using this setting, the gen run sense 

signal is communicated from the inverter to the AGS through 

the network cable. The AGS determines that the generator is 

running when the inverter/charger communicates that it is in a 

charge state (e.g., Charging, Bulk Charge, Absorb Charge).
When using the 2-Wire Standby setting (and generator is 

autostarted by AGS), the generator runs and connects to the 

input of the inverter. This causes the inverter to begin charging, 

which in turn communicates to the AGS (via the network cable) 

that the generator is running—preventing another starter crank.

* Requires ME-AGS-N with Rev 

•

5.2 to use 2-Wire Standby mode.

Info: The AGS requires a DC input of 8.5 to 70 volts in order 

to operate the internal relays (>70 volts causes damage to 

the AGS and is not covered by the product warranty).

2.6.1  Power Connections (Terminals 3 & 4)

Terminal 3 (+) and Terminal 4 (–) on the 8-port terminal block are 

connected to the monitored battery bank*. These terminals power 

the AGS controller and monitor the inverter’s battery voltage (when 

used to autostart the generator based on low battery voltage).

* Monitored Battery Bank – When autostarting the generator based on 

battery voltage (e.g., start volts), the inverter’s battery bank must be 

connected to Terminal 3 (+) and Terminal 4 (–). If autostarting based 

on any other condition (e.g., temperature, amps), either the inverter 

battery bank or the generator’s battery may be used to power the AGS 

controller. However, the negative terminal of every battery bank must 

be connected together to prevent damage to the AGS (refer back to 

Section 2.5.1.1).
