ME-AGS-N Router Status Messages

A status message may be an operational or fault message. Access the AGS status menu (METER:

04A AGS Status menu) to view the AGS’s current operating status. This menu is important when

determining if the AGS is working correctly, or for troubleshooting an AGS installation.

7.2.6.1

AGS Router Operational Statuses

See Table 7-3 for AGS operational statuses that may display (depending on your router’s version).

STATUS

DESCRIPTION

AC In

(ACIn)

The inverter/charger is connected to another source such as a grid

or an alternate generator, and is not controlled by the AGS. When AC

In displays, the AGS is prevented or locked out from all autostarting

conditions, except for when the gen needs to exercise—if enabled.

Note: 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.

Gen Cooldown

(Cooldown or Cool)

The autostop setting has been satisfi ed in one of the generator autostart/

autostop menus, and the generator has been disconnected from the

inverter/charger. However, the generator is still running until the cooldown

time is met (as per the SETUP: 04I Gen No-Load Time setting).

Gen Off

(Off)

The CTRL: 03 Gen Control menu is set to OFF. This setting will not

allow the AGS to autostart the generator.

Gen Ready

(GenReady or Redy)

The CTRL: 03 Gen Control menu is set to AUTO, and the AGS is ready

to automatically start the generator based on the active autostart

settings under the SETUP: 04 AGS Setup menu.

Gen Warm-up

(Warmup or Warm)

The AGS is attempting to start the generator and a time period has

been set under the SETUP: 04I Gen No-Load Time setting. Once the

AGS status displays as “Warm-up”, the inverter/charger’s AC input

ignores any incoming AC power. This prevents the inverter/charger

from loading the generator during warm-up. Once the AGS has

determined that the generator is running, the warm-up time setting

must be met before the generator can connect to the inverter/charger.

Manual Run

(Man Run or MnRn)

The generator was started manually, either by setting the CTRL: 03

Gen Control menu to “ON”, or by using the start/stop switch directly

connected to the generator.

Note: The AGS determines that the generator has been manually turned on by sensing a gen

run sense voltage to Terminal #2 on the AGS’s 8-port terminal block. However, if the Gen

Type DIP switch is set to “2-Wire Standby”—which does not require a gen run sense voltage—

manually turning the generator on displays a status of AC In rather than Manual Run.

No AGS Comm

(No Comm)

The AGS is not communicating with the inverter/router. This is a

normal status if there is no AGS-N connected in the system.

Note: If an AGS is connected, then ensure: the green READY indicator on the AGS module is

on (blinking or solid) to indicate that the AGS module is getting power, the communications

cable is connected from the Network port on the Magnum inverter to the NETWORK port on

the ME-AGS-N, and that you have the correct communications cable.

Quiet Time

(QuietTme or QT)

The AGS has entered Quiet Time per the SETUP: 04G Gen Quiet Time

setting.

Note: The generator will not autostart during Quiet Time.

Unknown ?##?

(Unk?##? or ?##?)

The generator failed to recognize the status information transmitted

by the AGS. This is normally due to an AGS module being a newer

version than that of the router.
