1.0 Introduction
1.3 ME-AGS-N Components
The ME-AGS-N is shipped with the following:
• AGS module
• Network Communications cable
• Remote Temp Sensor cable • ME-AGS-N Owner’s Manual
• Warning label • Mounting screws (x4)
1.3.1 ME-AGS-N Features
The AGS module provides the generator’s wiring connections and the following
components (refer to Figure 1-1):
1
STATUS Indicator – a bi-color (green or red) LED indicator that
illuminates to provide information on the AGS’s operation.
2
TEST Button – a momentary pushbutton that allows the AGS
system to be tested for correct wiring and generator start/stop
operation.
3
Wiring Terminal Block – an 8-port friction-  t connector that powers
the AGS and connects the generator’s start/stop and run sense wires.
4
Mounting Flange
– used to secure the AGS to a shelf or a wall. Four
black oxide #8 x 3/4 Phillips drive, Pan head screws are provided
to mount the AGS.
• TEST button immediately con  rms if installation wiring correct
• Removable 8-port terminal block for easy wiring and powering down
• Front panel LED indicators for gen start/stop status and gen fault
1.2 ME-AGS-N System Requirements
The AGS requires several other components to operate correctly.
Automatic Start Generator – The generator should have automatic starting
capability. The generator must have start and stop controls [i.e., an electric
starter and electric choke (for gasoline units)], and the safety sensors to
be able to start and stop automatically. These safety items include: low oil
pressure, high temperature, engine start over-crank, over/under frequency
(speed), low coolant level, etc. The generator should also supply a “generator
run signal”, which the AGS uses to detect whether the generator is running.
The generator run signal must be from 10 to 40 volts DC, and can be provided
from a generator hour meter signal or a switched B+ terminal.
Info:
A generator run signal is not required when using Gen Type:
2-Wire Standby Mode and an AGS with a revision of 5.2 or higher.
Remote Control
– A separate remote control (i.e., ME-RC, ME-ARC, or ME-
RTR) is required to con  gure the AGS and to monitor generator starting and
stopping activity. Some of the more advanced generator start/stop features
are not available on the standard ME-RC and require the ME-ARC or ME-RTR
advanced controllers. Refer to your Magnum remote control manual or the
remote control’s speci
 c section in this manual to determine your available
AGS autostart and autostop features.
Magnum Inverter
– A Magnum inverter is required to communicate net-
work information from the Magnum remote control to the AGS. The inverter
must also have the internal software to work with the remote control and to
allow the desired AGS feature. See Section 7.1 for help in determining your
inverter’s compatibility level.
