Setup
Info: After Start Bulk is selected and activated, the 02 Charger Control selection
automatically returns back to the Multi-Stage setting.
Info: If the current charge mode is Bulk or Absorption, and Start Bulk is selected,
“Already in Bulk/Abs” displays on the router.
Info: If battery type CC/CV is chosen, and the charger is in Silent charge mode, the
Start Bulk selection transfers the charger to Constant Current mode.
Info: If you have to continually restart the bulk cycle in order to bring the batteries to
full charge, check the settings from the SETUP: 03 Charger Setup menu to ensure the
batteries are fully charged at the end of a regular multi-stage charge cycle.
CTRL: 03 Gen Control
03 Gen Control is used for controlling a standby generator that is connected to the system and
using the optional ME-AGS-N module. Once the AGS-N is installed in the system, the generator
can be manually started and stopped, or set to start and stop automatically from this menu.
Note: Options include: OFF (default setting), ON and AUTO.
Info: The AGS-N must be installed in order for the 03 Gen Control menu to control a
standby generator. See the ME-AGS-N owner’s manual (PN: 64-0039) for information.
Info: If a ME-ARC is directly connected to one of the router’s communication ports
(P1-P6), it can be used in a remote location as a remote on/off switch, and can assist
in monitoring the system and controlling a generator that is connected to an AGS-N.
Info: If a ME-ARC is directly connected to the router, the ARC’s CTRL button function is
defeated. However, the Gen Control selection is in the ARC’s FAVS menu, and the gen
can be controlled via the ARC through the FAVS menu, but not through the CTRL menu.
• OFF: The OFF selection will stop the generator by sending a ‘stop’ command from the AGS-N
control module (can be running from either a manual start or an autostart command from the
AGS). The generator will not start automatically if OFF is selected.
Info: If DC power is lost to the router, this menu resets to the default OFF position for
safety.
Info: When OFF is selected, the generator turns off immediately—regardless of any
delay settings (e.g., Cooldown).
• ON:
The ON selection starts the generator by sending a ‘start’ command from the ME-AGS-N
control module. Once the generator is started, it may be stopped by selecting OFF from the
03 Gen Control menu, which sends a stop command from the AGS-N.
Info: The generator can be started manually and stopped automatically by fi rst selecting
ON from the 03 Gen Control menu, and then once the generator is running changing
the setting to AUTO. With this scenario, the generator stops when either the Stop Volts
setting under the SETUP/04A Gen Run DC Volts menu (even if not enabled) is satisfi ed,
or the 04F Max Gen Run Time setting is reached—whichever occurs fi rst.
Info: The ON selection uses warm-up time. The OFF selection stops immediately and
does not use the cooldown time.
• AUTO:
This selection uses SETUP button’s 04 AGS Setup menus to automatically start and
stop the generator. See Section 7.0 for the conditions and settings that can be used to start
and stop the generator.
•
Start Bulk: This selection restarts the Bulk charge cycle from any stage in the charge cycle as
long as AC is present and the charger is active. The Start Bulk selection is useful when a full
multi-stage charge cycle does not bring the specifi c gravity of the batteries to the proper level.
