24VDC PRO-Verter 5000-120 AGS Operator Manual
PRO-Verter AGS Functional Tests
These tests are applicable when the PRO-Verter is connected to a fuel driven generator that has
been modified with a Remote-start Enabling Kit (RsEK).
When the autostart/autostop settings have been established and programmed, perform the
following tests to verify that the AGS system is functioning correctly and there is communication
between the user interface / inverter and the AGS.
Note:
(Figure 12) is a momentary switch that allows the AGS system to be
tested for correct wiring and generator start/stop operation.
PRO-Verter to Generator Communication Test
This section describes using the LCD user interface to start the generator and to determine the AGS
status.
Determining AGS Status
Use the LCD user interface to determine the AGS’s status:
1. Press the METER button until the bottom line displays “01 DC Meters”.
2. Rotate the SELECT knob to the 04 AGS Meters menu, and then press the SELECT knob. The
top line shows 04A AGS Status and the bottom line displays the current status of the AGS.
An AGS status of Off or Ready indicates the user interface and the inverter is communicating with
the AGS. If the AGS status is not Off or Ready, then refer to section
or section
Resolving AGS Faults Using the LCD User Interface
for assistance before
continuing.
Starting the Generator from the PRO-Verter User Interface
To confirm that the generator will turn on and run from the PRO-Verter, first ensure the GENERATOR
STATUS LED is Off or Ready. Then:
1. Press the CTRL button, and then rotate the SELECT knob to the 03 Gen Control menu.
2. Press the SELECT knob, and then rotate it to the ON setting.
3. Press the SELECT knob to activate the generator test. The selection arrow appears to the right
of the screen. The generator should start.
Note:
Once the generator starts, it should run until CTRL 03 Gen Control is changed to OFF.
If the AGS/generator system started, and if the GENERATOR STATUS LED turns solid green after
two (2) minutes, then the wiring from the PRO-Verter to the generator is correct. The PRO-Verter
Autostart/stop may now be enabled by setting CTRL 03 Gen Control setting to “AUTO”.
