ON:
The
ON
selection manually starts the generator by sending a “start”
command from the AGS module. Once the generator is started, it must be
manually stopped, either from an external stop switch or by selecting
OFF
from the 03
Gen Control
menu, which sends a “stop” command from the
AGS module.
Info:
When “
ON
” is selected, the Magnum inverter will not attempt to
accept the generator AC voltage until the warm-up period is satis
fi
ed.
Info:
You can manually start the generator and have it automati-
cally stop by selecting
ON
from the
03 Gen Control
menu, and then
changing the selection to
AUTO
to automatically stop the genera-
tor. When
AUTO
is selected after the generator has been manually
started, it displays the AGS status as “
Start VDC
” and uses the stop
setting in the SETUP button’s
04A Gen Run VDC
menu (even if not
active) or the
04F Max Gen Run Time
menu, whichever occurs
fi
rst.
This is useful if you want to make sure the generator starts before
you leave; the
Max Gen Run Time
setting ensures the generator
does not run longer than required.
AUTO:
This selection uses the settings from the SETUP button’s
04 AGS Setup
menus to automatically start and stop the generator. Refer to the
04 AGS Setup
menus in Section 7.1 to set the start and stop parameters for the generator.
7.3.2 Monitoring the AGS
The ME-ARC remote’s METER and TECH buttons have additional menus that
are helpful for the proper operation and monitoring of your AGS system.
7.3.2.1 ME-ARC Remote’s AGS METER Button
Press the ME-ARC remote’s METER button, rotate the SELECT knob to the
03
AGS Meter
menu, and then press the SELECT knob to access the AGS Meter
read-only menus. Rotate the SELECT knob to view the various AGS meters.
METER: 03A AGS Status Menu
This read-only menu displays the AGS’s current status. There are 26 differ-
ent status messages that can display to identify what state the AGS is cur-
rently in—only one displays at any one time (refer also to Figure 7-2).
Available statuses are (see Tables 7-2 thru 7-4 for information on each):
Info:
This menu is important when determining if the AGS is work-
ing correctly, or for troubleshooting an AGS installation. For any
fault mode displayed in the status menu, refer to Section 7.7.3 in
this manual.
