Generator Starts, Then Shuts Down When Load Is Transferred
Cause
The motor in the generator cannot sustain a significant load until the engine is fully warmed up.
Solution
Gen warm-up and cool down phases are critical for repetitive start/stop function. Make sure the Gen
Warm-up setting is at least 75 seconds in duration.
Generator Short-cycles
Causes
• Incorrect setup of the Inter-Connect Circuit
• Incorrect voltage setting in the Gen Run VDC menu
• Expander Pak(s) not turned on
• High heat causing AGS to trigger (normal)
Solution
1. Verify the Inter-Connect Circuit is in accordance with the schematic on the PRO-Verter I-Plate.
2. The Gen Run VDC should be set to values appropriate for the System.
3. Verify all Expander Pak switches are in the ON position.
4. If the internal transformer is in danger of overheating, the AGS will automatically start the
generator to ensure continuity of operations. The AGS will stop the generator after temperatures
have cooled.
Generator Fails to Stop
Causes
• Charge function in standby mode
• AC circuits running at the generator’s full-rated output (batteries not being charged)
• Gen Run VDC value altered from factory setting
• AC load is too high - not enough power available from generator to support both charging and
load functions.
Solution
1. Verify CHARGER LED is illuminated (not blinking)
2. Reduce AC loads
3. Ensure the Gen Run VDC is set properly (SETUP: 04A)
4. AC INPUT (FAVS 4) setting too low
5. CHARGE RATE (FAVS 5) setting too low
6. Battery capacity (FAVS 2) too large
7. Charger programming not compatible with the battery type
8. Battery Temp sensor reading high temp (clean air filters)
