Magnum Energy ME-RC Remote - Manual (Page 68)

7.0 Using an AGS Module: Setting Up
61 ©2013 Magnum Energy, Inc.
Info: The default settings and range are automatically determined
based on the connected inverter and the measured VDC.
Where should I set Start Volts? When setting the VDC start voltage, it
must be high enough to not over-discharge the battery, but also low enough
to keep from nuisance starting the generator. Typically, start volts is set based
on what is determined to be approximately 50% of the battery capacity.
Since this is an inverter/battery system, and the battery is normally loaded,
the VDC used to determine 50% battery capacity should be set lower than
what is shown on typical battery voltage SOC charts (approximately 11-11.5
in a 12-volt system), which show the battery at rest (not loaded).
Info: The DC voltage the AGS uses to determine when to autostart is
displayed in the AGS: 08 AGS TECH menu under the AGS VDC meter.
AGS: 06 Set Time Menu
This menu is used to set the ME-RC remote’s internal clock. The ME-RC
contains a real time clock that must be set for proper operation of the AGS
button’s 07 Quiet Time feature. If the Quiet Time feature is not used, the
time does not need to be set.
Info: The clock obtains power from the inverter and resets if the ME-
RC is disconnected from the inverter, or the inverter is powered down.
To set the current time:
(From the 06 Set Time menu)
• Hour – Rotate the SELECT knob to the correct hour of day, and then
press SELECT.
• Minute – Rotate the SELECT knob to the correct minute setting, and
then press SELECT.
• AM-PM – Rotate the SELECT knob to the appropriate AM or PM setting,
and then press SELECT.
AGS: 07 Quiet Time Menu
This setting is used to prevent the generator from autostarting during a
specifi c designated time period each day.
Info: If the generator is running when the Quiet Time start time
setting is reached, it automatically stops and does not allow the
generator` to autostart until after the Quiet Time stop time setting
has passed.
To enable, access the Quiet Time menu and select a time period.
Default setting: Quiet = OFF
Range: OFF, 9PM-7AM, 9PM-8AM, 9PM-9AM, 10PM-8AM, 11PM-8AM
Why should I use Quiet Time? Quiet Time is used when there are park
rules or local noise regulations that prevent generators from running during
a certain time. It is usually set in consideration of when people may be
sleeping. If there are no local rules or regulations, you may not want to use
Quiet Time—which would allow the generator to run at any time in a 24-hour
period.
Where should I set Quiet Time? Select the time period that coincides with
any local noise requirements, or any time period that you do not want the
generator to automatically run.
