SYSTEM SETUP AND OPERATION GUIDE FOR THE SOLAR STIK USAF G-BOSS MEDIUM AND HEAVY HYBRID POWER SYSTEM
PRELIMINARY DRAFT
Resolving AGS Operational Statuses
No Comm
The “No Comm” status suggests that some wiring connections may be incorrect or compromised.
Solution
1. Ensure the
GREEN
READY indicator on the AGS controller is on (blinking or solid) to indicate that
the AGS controller is getting power.
2. Ensure the correct communications cables are connected.
3. Call Solar Stik Technical Support.
Resolving AGS Faults Using the LCD User Interface
If an AGS fault occurs, use the LCD User Interface and the information in this section to resolve the
issue.
Note:
PRO-Verters in a Solar Stik Hybrid Power System are programmed to start and stop
generators based on DC voltage.
The faults highlighted in
orange
are the only ones that
could appear in a PRO-Verter programmed to work with the G-BOSS System
Fault Gen Run
Symptoms:
Generator is overloading and shutting down; the generator successfully started and
ran for more than two (2) minutes, but the generator unexpectedly stopped before the active AGS
autostop condition was finished.
This fault occurs when the generator is overloading as a result of (1) unauthorized equipment being
used on the platform and/or (2) surge loads are present.
Note:
The AGS controller determines the generator is running by monitoring the Gen Run sense
voltage/signal. When this Gen Run sense voltage/signal is no longer available, the AGS thinks
the generator is off or has stopped.
Note:
Fault Gen Run detection is not active if the generator is manually started.
Solution
Ensure proper electrical connections between the PRO-Verter and the generator.
Disconnect the generator from the System and start it using the generator native controls.
If the generator starts, reconnect it to the System. Reduce the load and/or the charging rate (%) to
prevent the fault from recurring
If the generator does not start, check the generator for fault codes, adequate fuel and refer to the
generator Operator and Maintenance Manual.
