SETUP: 04A Gen Run VDC Menu
This menu starts and stops the generator based on the battery voltage as
shown on the METER button’s 03B DC Volts-AGS menu. This menu provides
the option to start the generator when the battery voltage gets low, and to
stop the generator once the battery reaches a higher voltage level, or has
been fully charged and goes into the Float Charge stage. Using voltage is the
most common method of automatically starting and stopping the generator
because it is considered the simplest and easiest to understand. The 04A
Gen Run VDC menu also has a delay setting to minimize nuisance starts/
stops and the short cycle run times of the generator.
• Set Start Gen Volts – This setting will start the generator when the
battery voltage (on Terminals #3 & #4) decreases to or below this set-
ting continuously for the duration of the Set Start Volts Delay setting.
