Option 3
– Use an external 120 VAC coiled relay to bring the
generator’s battery voltage to the AGS run sense port (Terminal #2)
only while the generator is running. The generator’s battery voltage
must be 10-40 VDC.
Option 2
– Use a 120 VAC to 12 VDC step-down transformer
(normally used to charge power equipment batteries) and plug
into the generator’s 120 VAC output. The step-down transformer
provides 12 VDC output only while the generator is running.
Option 1
– Tap into the positive side of the generator’s hour meter
or running light; ensure the voltage is only 10-40 VDC while the
generator is running.
What if my generator does not have a run sense output?
If your
generator is not equipped with a generator run sense output, review
Figure 2-6 for alternative options.
