THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
The Automatic Generator Start Control System (AGS) has the
following features:
Starts the generator automatically in response to a low
battery. The AGS continuously monitors the house battery and
will start the generator automatically if the battery is low.
Starts the generator automatically in response to air condi-
tioning/heating requests. The AGS continually monitors the air
conditioning system and starts the generator, as required by the
air conditioning system.
Setting of QUIET TIME. QUIET TIME periods of one hour or
more can be entered to prevent automatic operation of the gen-
erator during inappropriate times.
Easy changing of time setting. A TIME ZONE indicator is pro-
vided for easy changing of local time when travelling.
Displays generator status. The Remote Panel indicates if the
generator is on (GEN ON) and if the generator has a problem
(GEN FAULT).
This system...
• allows the user to have confidence that the battery will
not be completely discharged and the DC systems will be
operational. The AGS is not dependent on shorepower and
will maintain the system even if small appliances and gen-
eral lighting are on.
• provides generator power to operate the heating or
cooling systems. This will allow you (and your pets) to be
comfortable.
The system is not intended...
• to be left unattended.
• to keep batteries fully charged. The charge period is
normally two to four hours.
• to maintain area temperature at a specific temperature.
• for use with all air conditioners, heaters, heat pumps and
generators.
