Using an AGS Module: Operation

METER: 04F Since 100% Days Menu
This read-only menu displays the

number of days since the battery was at 100% SOC, and is

calculated in the ME-AGS-N. It is used by the SETUP button’s 04J Gen 100% SOC Start feature to

determine when to command the ME-AGS-N to autostart the generator.

Info: This display resets once the battery SOC reaches 100%, power to the AGS is lost,

or the data communications from the BMK is lost.

Info: The METER: 04F Since 100% Days menu uses information from the METER: 05A

BMK SOC menu to determine the last time the battery SOC was 100%.

Info: For the METER: 04F Since 100% Days to increment, the METER: 05A BMK SOC

display must not display 100% (or No Comm), the optional ME-AGS-N must be connected

and enabled (CTRL: 03 Gen Control = AUTO) and the SETUP: 04J Gen 100% SOC must

also be enabled (not set to OFF).
Info: The METER: 04F Since 100% Days menu, which is calculated in the ME-AGS-N,

is similar to the METER: 05I Days Since 100% menu (which is calculated in the router).

If an AGS is installed at a later date (or the router is reconnected), the two menus will

not be coordinated with each other. However, they will automatically synchronize once

the BMK’s METER: 05A BMK SOC menu reaches 100% SOC, or they can be manually

synchronized by momentarily removing the network cable from the BMK.

METER: 04G Gen Hour Meter Menu
This menu displays how many hours the generator has run since this “hour meter” was last reset.

This menu is helpful if you would like to keep track of how long the generator has run from a

specifi c point; for example, after the generator has been serviced.
Note: The Gen Hour Meter menu’s timer starts when the gen run sense voltage (10-40 volts DC)

from the generator to Pin 2 (+) and Pin 4 (-) is present on the AGS module.

Info: The Gen Hour Meter menu’s timer can register elapsed time up to 65,000 hours,

and can be reset to “0 Hours” by pressing and holding the SELECT button for ~3 secs.

Info: The hour meter will not count if the Gen Type DIP switch inside the AGS module is

set to “2-Wire-Standby” because this setting does not require the gen run sense voltage

from the generator to the AGS.

Info: The CTRL: 03 Gen Control setting has no effect on the whether the hour meter is

active or not.

Info: The gen hours shown in this menu are calculated in the AGS. They do not reset

if the inverter or router loses power, but they do reset if the AGS module loses power.

METER: 04E Since Run Days Menu
This read-only menu displays the number of days since the generator has last run. The Since Run

Days timer begins once the CTRL: 03 Gen Control menu is set to AUTO, and then counts by one

day for every 24-hour period that the generator does not start. The Since Run Days timer resets

any time the gen run sense signal is present on Terminal 2 of the AGS, which could be either

by autostarting the generator (including from a previous exercise run), or manually starting the

generator (using the ME-RTR).

Info: When the DIP switch inside the AGS is set to “2-Wire Standby Mode”, which does

not require the gen run sense signal to be present on Terminal 2 of the AGS, the Since

Run Days timer will not be reset to zero.

Info: If a MSH4024RE (dual AC input inverter) is used, the Since Run Days timer also

resets any time voltage is present on the AC2 (Gen) input.
