Installation

CAUTION: DO NOT plug in the 8-port terminal block. 

After 

all the wiring to the controller is complete and all the settings 

have been con

fi

 gured, a power-up test will be performed 

(Section 3.3.1). 

DO NOT 

plug in the 8-port terminal block 

until the power-up test has been successful.
You must use a fuse rated at 

≤

5 amps to protect all power 

circuits connected to the AGS (do not fuse the negative 

connection on Terminal #4). Ensure the fuse is correctly rated 

for the wire size used. Refer to national/local codes for rating 

and type. Normally, a minimum #16 AWG (1.31 mm

2

) wire 

is required in order to use a 5-amp fuse.

Info: 

The green 8-port terminal block accepts CU/AL 

conductors from #30 to #12 AWG (0.05 to 3.3 mm

2

).

2.5.1  Power Connections (Terminals 3 and 4)

1.  Connect a wire (black) from the monitored battery bank’s 

negative terminal to Terminal 4 on the 8-port terminal block.

2.  Connect a wire (red) with a 5-amp in-line fuse from the 

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

8-port terminal block.

2.5.2  Generator Run Sense Connection (Terminal 2 and 4)

Terminal 2 on the 8-port terminal block is used as a generator 

run sense (i.e., switched B+ or a positive battery signal from the 

hour meter or gen running light). This run sense voltage is used to 

determine that the generator is operating and to prevent another 

starter crank while the generator is running.

Info: 

The run sense signal from the generator to Terminal 2 

(positive) and Terminal 4 (negative) must be between 10-40 

VDC and only while the generator is running.

3.  Connect a wire (preferably not black or red) from the generator’s 

run sense output to Terminal 2 on the 8-port terminal block.

4.  Connect the negative terminal of the monitored battery bank to 

Terminal 4 (power negative) on the 8-port terminal block. Ensure 

the negative terminal on the generator battery is referenced/

connected to the negative terminal on the monitored battery.

Info: 

The negative side of the run sense signal from the 

generator must be in common with the negative side of the 

monitored battery bank. This ensures that the positive battery 

voltage (to Terminal 3) and the positive run sense voltage (to 

Terminal 2) have a common negative reference (to Terminal 

4) and are correctly measured by the ME-AGS-S.
