Starting and Stopping the Generator
You can use the Auto Gen Start to start the generator manually (on
demand, using the System Control Panel) and automatically (in response
to an electrical system condition).
In general, to avoid Auto Gen Start faults, try not to combine automatic
and external manual starts and stops. When the generator has been started
automatically, let it stop automatically unless you encounter a situation
when the generator must be stopped urgently. Likewise, if you have
started the generator manually, ensure that you stop it manually (only the
“Max Run Time” setting can automatically stop the generator after it has
been started manually).
To set the Auto Gen Start to start and stop the generator
automatically:
1. On the Auto Gen Start menu, highlight AGS Mode and press Enter.
2. Use the up arrow or down arrow button to select Automatic.
3. Press Enter.
The Auto Gen Start will start and stop the generator in response to the
configurable settings you have set for battery voltage, state of charge,
inverter load, quiet time or exercise time. Depending on conditions in
the power system, the generator may start immediately after it is put
in Automatic mode.
To start the generator manually:
1. On the Auto Gen Start menu, highlight AGS Mode and press Enter.
2. Use the up arrow or down arrow button to select ManualOn.
3. Press Enter.
To stop the generator manually:
1. On the Auto Gen Start menu, highlight AGS Mode and press Enter.
2. Use the up arrow or down arrow button to select ManualOff.
3. Press Enter.
