Using an AGS Module: Operation

METER: 04C Gen Run Time Menu
This read-only menu displays the length of time the generator has been running since it was

autostarted by the AGS. This is useful when trying to determine how long the generator has been

running since it was autostarted—in case you were not present when it started. This menu is

enabled when the CTRL: 03 Gen Control menu is set to AUTO, but does not display run time when

the generator has been manually started. This meter is not designed to replace an hour meter

that shows the total hours the generator has run—refer to the METER: 04G Gen Hour Meter menu.

Info: The Gen Run Time menu’s timer is started when the gen run sense voltage/signal

is correct and qualifi ed at the AGS module. It is not considered qualifi ed until after a full

start attempt and the 04I Gen Warm-up Time setting is satisfi ed. Cooldown and warm-

up times are not included in the gen run time display. Total generator run time = Gen

Run Time + Gen Warm-up Time + Gen Cooldown Time.

Info: The times in this display are shown in tenths of an hour (e.g., 0.0 hrs., 0.1 hrs.,

etc.,)—thus, 0.1 hrs. = 6 minutes.

Info: Depending on the ME-AGS-N version, the Gen Run Time display resets to 0.0

differently. The ME-AGS-N (Ver 5.2): Resets to 0.0 when the generator autostart has

fi nished. The ME-AGS-N (≥Ver 5.3): Resets to 0.0 when another generator autostart is

triggered.

Info: This display is used by the SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run Time menu to determine the

generator’s maximum run time when started automatically.

METER: 04D AGS Temp Menu
When the AGS remote temp sensor (included with AGS, but use is optional) is connected to the

AGS’s REMOTE (purple) port, this read-only menu displays the temperature of the temp sensor. If

the temperature around the sensor is a very high (>104F), the display will show “TS Hot”, and if

very cold (<33F), the display will show “TS Cold”. If the temperature sensor is not installed, the

display will show “TS Open”.

Info: The temperature in the METER: 04D AGS Temp menu can be displayed in either

Fahrenheit (default) or Celsius depending on the SETUP: 01D Temp Display setting.

If an optional ME-PT1 (or ME-PT2) pigtail adapter is connected to the AGS’s REMOTE (purple)

port, and the Set Gen Run Temp (Start Temp) setting is set to ExtInput (under the SETUP: 04E

Gen Run Temp menu), this display will show “Ext ON” when the ME-PT1 has +12 present on its

input (or the ME-PT2 is closed); and, will show “Ext OFF” when the ME-PT1 does not have +12 on

its input (or the ME-PT2 is open).

METER: 04B DC Volts to AGS
This read-only menu displays the DC voltage measured at Terminal #3 and Terminal #4 of the AGS

module. This menu is useful in setting up the voltage start for the AGS, and for troubleshooting

its operation.

Info: The DC voltage reading in the 04B DC Volts to AGS (DC voltage to AGS) menu

may vary from the DC voltage readings in the METER button’s 01A DC Volts to Inv (DC

voltage to inverter) and 05B DC Volts – BMK (DC voltage to BMK) menus. For verifi cation

and testing purposes, read the appropriate related meter for each device.
