Using an AGS Module: Operation/Monitoring
METER: 04A AGS Status Menu
This read-only menu displays the AGS’s current status. There are 28 different status messages
that can display to identify what state the AGS is currently in—only one displays at any one time
(refer also to Figure 7-2).
Info:
This menu is important when determining if the AGS is working correctly or for
troubleshooting an AGS installation. For any fault mode displayed in the status menu,
refer to Section 7.3.3.
Available statuses are (see Tables 7-3 through 7-5 for information on each):
Operational/Start Status:
• AC

METER: 04B DC Volts-AGS Menu
This read-only menu displays the DC voltage measured at Terminals #3 and #4 of the AGS con-
troller. This menu is useful in setting up the voltage start for the AGS, and for troubleshooting its
operation.
Info:
This DC voltage reading may vary from the DC voltage readings in the
METER:
01A DC Volts
and
METER: 05C DC Volts-BMK
menu items. When troubleshooting, read
the appropriate related meter for each device. Use this menu for AGS veri
fi
cation and
testing.
METER: 04C Gen Run Time Menu
This read-only menu displays the length of time the generator has been running since it was
autostarted. This helps determine how long the generator has been running since it was auto-
started—in case 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. This meter is not designed to replace an hour meter that shows the total hours the gen-
erator has run—refer to the
METER: 04G Hour Meter
menu.
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 controller. It is not considered quali
fi
ed until after
a full start attempt and the
04I
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:
Depending on the AGS’s version, the
Gen Run Time
display resets to 0.0 differ-
ently. The ME-AGS-N (Ver 5.2): resets to 0.0 when the generator autostart has
fi
nished.
The ME-AGS-N (
≥
Ver 5.3): resets to 0.0 when another generator autostart is triggered.
Info:
This display is used by the
SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run Time
menu to determine the
generator’s maximum run time when started automatically.
