3.0 Setup
03 AGS Meters
03A AGS Status:
If there is no Automatic Generator Start (ME-AGS-N)
module connected, the status will read “
No Comm
”. If there is a ME-AGS-N
connected, please refer to the ME-AGS-N owners manual (PN: 64-0039)
for information on the status messages.
Info:
These menus allow the optional ME-AGS-N (Auto Gen Start
-Network version)
— if installed — to display the status of the
generator. Refer to the ME-AGS-N Owner’s Manual (PN: 64-0039)
for detailed information on the AGS and these menus.
03B DC Volts-AGS:
This menu displays the DC voltage measured at pins
3 and 4 of the ME-AGS-N 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
01A DC Volts
and
04C DC Volts-
BMK
menus. Each DC voltage reading is taken at a different
place in the system, and therefore there may be wire losses or
connections that make the readings differ. It is important when
troubleshooting the system to read the appropriate related meter
for each device. When troubleshooting the AGS, use the
03B DC
Volts-AGS
menu item for veri
fi
cation and testing purposes.
03C Gen Run Time:
This menu displays the amount of time the
generator has been running since the AGS auto-started the generator.
This menu does not display run time when the generator has been
manually started.
Info:
This hour meter resets each time the generator is stopped.
This is useful when trying to determine how long the generator
has been running in
Auto
mode if you were not present when
it started. This meter does not replace the hour meter for total
hours the generator has run.
03D AGS Temp:
This menu displays the temperature of the AGS temp
sensor (included with ME-AGS-N, but use is optional), and is helpful in
determining proper placement and operation of the AGS temp sensor.
03E Since Gen Run:
This menu displays the number of days since the
generator has last run. This menu is useful in determining if the AGS
start and stop settings are set up correctly.
Info:
This meter resets whenever the generator is either auto-
started, exercised, or manually started. The meter reads the
B+/run signal provided by the generator to the AGS module.
04 BMK Meters
These menus display the status of the battery system from the optional
ME-BMK/ME-BMK-NS, if installed. Refer to the ME-BMK/ME-BMK-NS Owner’s
Manual (PN: 64-0013) for detailed information on the Battery Monitor Kit
and these menus.
04A BMK SOC:
This display is the best way to monitor the actual state
of the battery. The read only display shows the State of Charge (SOC)
for the connected battery bank. The SOC represents the condition of the
battery as a percentage of the available capacity left in the battery.
