CTRL: 01 AC In Control
The
01 AC In Control
menu determines the condition in which the inverter/charger connects
to an incoming AC power source. When using a ME-AGS-N, the
Auto Connect
setting must be
selected. If another
AC In Control
setting is enabled, the inverter/charger may be prevented
from connecting—when the generator is autostarted—because the criteria to allow the AC input
to connect (AC In based on time, VDC, or SOC) may not have been met.
Note:
This is true unless the inverter has two independent AC source inputs—one for grid and
the other for generator—as provided in the MSH4024RE. If you are using a MSH4024RE, then you
can select any AC In selection that is appropriate for your application, because the AC In Control
features only work with the GRID IN (AC1) input.
CTRL: 03 Gen Control
This
menu is used to manually turn the connected generator on and off, or to select the
AUTO
feature which enables the active generator autostart and autostop settings to control the
connected generator. Available selections are:
• OFF:
This selection turns the generator off if it is running from either a manual “
ON
” command
or an “
AUTO
” start command. When
OFF
is selected, the AGS is prevented from starting the
generator automatically. This is the default setting.
Info:
When
OFF
is selected, the AGS turns off immediately without any cooldown time
(if set). However, if the generator is manually started from a generator control panel or
a generator remote panel, selecting
OFF
may not shut down the generator.
Info:
If DC power is lost to the router or to the inverter system, this menu resets to the
default
OFF
position for safety.
• ON:
This selection manually starts the generator by sending a “start” command from the
AGS. 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 (if set) is satis
fi
ed.
Info:
The generator can be manually started and then automatically stopped. First,
select
ON
from the
03 Gen Control
menu to manually start the generator. Once the
generator is running, change the selection to
AUTO
—this automatically stops the
generator. When the generator has been manually started and the
AUTO
setting is
selected, the AGS status displays as “
Start VDC
” and uses the autostop setting under
the SETUP button’s
04A Gen Run DC Volts
menu (even if not active) or the
04F Max Gen
Run Time
menu, whichever occurs
fi
rst. This manual-on, auto-off feature is useful if you
need to ensure the generator starts before you leave.
• AUTO:
This selection enables the AGS to automatically start/stop the generator once an
active autostart condition is satis
fi
ed. Refer to the
SETUP: 04 AGS Setup
menus in
Section
8.1 to set the start and stop parameters for the generator.
8.2
ME-AGS-N Operation/Monitoring (with the ME-ARTR)
This section covers the AGS menus under the router’s CTRL and METER buttons that determine
how to control and operate the generator. The section also includes menus that are used to help
monitor the AGS and the generator’s starting/running conditions.
8.2.1
Controlling the AGS using the ME-ARTR
The AGS uses the
CTRL: 01 AC In Control
menu to ensure the incoming AC from the generator
will be connected, and the
CTRL: 03 Gen Control
menu is used to activate the generator either
manually or automatically. Press the CTRL button on the ME-ARTR router to access the
01 AC In
Control
and the
03 Gen Control
menus.
