MaxRn
– The generator has turned off because the gen run
time—after autostarting—has exceeded the
SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run
Time
setting.
Info:
The
Max Gen Run Time
menu uses the
SETUP: 04B
Gen Run
Time
display to determine the generator’s run time. Cooldown and
warm-up times are not included in the
Gen Run Time
display.
Remedy:
Con
fi
rm that all the autostop parameters that are active
or enabled can be satis
fi
ed before the
SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run
Time
setting is reached.
•
If using the
SETUP: 04A Gen Run VDC
menu’s parameters:
– with a battery voltage setting to autostop, ensure the autos-
top voltage is less than the temperature-compensated absorb
charge voltage.
– with the “
Float
” setting to autostop, ensure the time that the
charger is in the Bulk Charge and Absorb Charge
¹
stages is
shorter than the
04F Max Gen Run Time
setting.
Refer to the
SETUP: 04A Gen Run VDC
section for additional
information on this setting.
• If
using
SETUP: 04B Gen Run Time
, con
fi
rm you have not set
the total run time (start time to the stop time) longer than the
SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run Time
setting.
• If
using
SETUP: 04C Gen Run Amps
, con
fi
rm the inverter
load(s) that is used to determine the
Stop Gen AC Amps
set-
ting is not required to run longer than the
SETUP: 04F Max Gen
Run Time
setting.
• If
using
SETUP: 04D Gen Run SOC
, con
fi
rm that the
METER:
04A BMK SOC
reading is not “
Think’n
”, but shows an actual
percentage reading on the display (i.e.,
85%
), and the
Stop
Gen SOC
setting can be satis
fi
ed before the
SETUP: 04F Max
Gen Run Time
setting is reached.
• If
using
SETUP: 04E Gen Run Temp
, the temperature around
the remote temperature sensor has not reached the
Gen Run
Temp
setting. You need to either lower the
Gen Run Temp Start
setting, determine how to cool the area (remote temp sensor
location) to below the
Gen Run Temp Start
setting before the
04F Max Gen Run Time
setting is reached, or increase the
Max
Gen Run Time
setting.
Lastly, con
fi
rm that your warm-up and/or cooldown time when add-
ed to your autostop condition does not exceed the
SETUP: 04F Max
Gen Run Time
setting.
Info:
Beginning with Revision 5.2 of the ME-AGS-N, the
Max Gen Run
Time
setting can be defeated. In some cases, it may be appropriate
to set the
Max Gen Run Time
setting to
OFF
. However, this feature is
mainly provided as a safety feature to ensure the generator doesn’t
run longer than the time it takes to reach the autostop conditions or
to expend the generator’s fuel capacity, whichever occurs
fi
rst – take
this into consideration if this setting is defeated.
Note¹:
Several conditions determine the length of time that the charger is in the
Absorb Charge stage. Ensure the SETUP: 03E Absorb Done (Time, Amps, or SOC)
setting—determines when the Absorb Charge stage is complete and enters the
Float stage—is taken into account when setting the 04F Max Gen Run Time setting.
