7.8.2 Resolving Operational Statuses
The following operational statuses can display on your remote control, and
some may indicate an abnormal condition. Use the info below to resolve.
• No
Comm – This is a normal status if there is no AGS installed. If an
AGS is installed, use the information below to determine the remedy.
Remedy: If an AGS is installed, then follow these steps:
1. Ensure the green READY indicator on the AGS module is on (blink-
ing or solid) to indicate the AGS is getting power.
2. Ensure the communications cable is connected from the inverter’s
Network port to the AGS’s NETWORK port.
3. Ensure you have the correct communications cable.
• AC In – A normal status when the input to the inverter/charger is
connected to an AC source such as utility/grid power, or to an alternate
generator that may not be controlled by the AGS.
Remedy: The AC In status prevents the AGS from autostarting. To
enable the AGS to autostart the generator, remove any AC power
connected to the input of the inverter/charger.
• Lockout – This status indicates the AGS has been confi gured to comply
with RVIA requirements (for use in an RV). Lockout displays whenever
the generator is started/stopped for any condition outside the control
of the AGS. To clear or disable this status, refer to the remedies below.
Remedy: To clear a Lockout status: Go to the AGS: 01 AGS Control
menu (the current setting should be AGS = OFF), then press the
SELECT knob to re-enter the “OFF” selection. Once you re-select
the OFF setting, the Lockout status clears (now should read “OFF”).
You must re-enable the AGS for autostart operation by changing the
AGS control from AGS = OFF to AGS = Enable, or AGS = Enable w/
QT (under the AGS: 01 AGS Control menu).
Remedy: To disable the Lockout feature: If the AGS is not used in
an RV installation (or you do not need to comply with RVIA require-
ments), you can disable the Lockout feature. Under the AGS: 08
AGS TECH menu, access the AGS Mode setting and change it from
RV to Other (AGS Mode = Other).
7.8.3 Resolving Fault Statuses
For these faults, refer to the remedy that follows.
• Fault
Temp – The generator failed to autostart and run per the 04 Start
Temp F menu’s start parameters.
• Fault Test – The generator failed to start and run after pressing the red
TEST pushbutton on the AGS module.
• Fault VDC – The generator failed to autostart and run per the 05 Start
Volts menu’s start parameters.
Remedy: Fault message may display on the remote control if:
A. The AGS attempts to start the generator four times, but the gen
failed to start and run per the specifi c autostart parameters; or,
B. The generator started, but did not provide the correct gen run
sense signal to the AGS module. For either scenario, refer to the
AGS Owner’s Manual to troubleshoot.
