7.0 Using an AGS Module
METER: 03B DC Volts-AGS Menu
This read-only menu displays the DC voltage measured at Terminals #3 and
#4 of the AGS module. This menu is useful in setting up the voltage start for
the AGS, and for troubleshooting its operation.
Info:
The DC voltage reading in this menu may vary from the
DC voltage readings in the METER button’s
01A DC Volts
and
04C
DC Volts-BMK
menu items. When troubleshooting, read the ap-
propriate related meter for each device. When troubleshooting the
AGS, use the
03B DC Volts-AGS
menu for veri
fi
cation and testing
purposes.
METER: 03C Gen Run Time Menu
This read-only menu displays the length of time the generator has been run-
ning since it was autostarted by the AGS. This helps determine how long the
generator has been running in Auto mode if you were not present when it
started. This menu is enabled when
CTRL: 03 Gen Control
is set to
AUTO
, but
does not display run time when the generator has been manually started.
Cooldown and warm-up times are not included in the gen run time display.
Info:
The
Gen Run Time
menu’s timer is started when the gen run
sense voltage/signal is correct and quali
fi
ed at the AGS module. It
is not considered quali
fi
ed until after a full start attempt and the
Gen Warm-up Time
setting is satis
fi
ed. Cooldown and warm-up
times are not included in the gen run time display. Total generator
run time =
Gen Run Time
+
Gen Warm-up Time
+
Gen Cooldown
.
Info:
The times in this display are shown in tenths of an hour (0.0
hrs., 0.1 hrs., etc.,)—thus, 0.1 hrs. = 6 minutes.
Info:
The
Gen Run Time
display resets to 0.0 each time the gen-
erator is autostopped. This meter is not designed to replace the
hour meter for total hours the generator has run.
Info:
This display is used by the
SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run Time
menu to determine the generator’s maximum run time when start-
ed automatically.
METER: 03D AGS Temp Menu
This read-only menu displays the temperature of the AGS remote temp sen-
sor (included with AGS, but use optional), and is helpful in determining its
proper placement and operation. This temperature value can be displayed
in either Fahrenheit or Celsius depending on the
SETUP: 01E Temp Display
setting. Use this menu to change the temperature format, if required.
METER: 03E Since Gen Run (Days) Menu
This read-only menu displays the number of days since the generator has
last run. This is useful in determining if the start and stop settings are set
up correctly. This timer begins once the
CTRL: 03 Gen Control
menu is set to
AUTO
, and then counts by one for every 24-hour period the generator does
not start. The Days Since Run timer resets any time the generator starts,
which could be either by autostarting the generator (including from a previ-
ous exercise run), or manually starting the generator.
Info:
When the DIP switch inside the AGS is set to “2-Wire Standby
Mode”, if you do not use the ME-ARC to manually turn the generator
on, the Days Since Run timer will not be reset to zero.
