Setup
START TEMP °F: This setting allows you to enable and adjust a temperature
value that causes the generator to automatically start. When the temperature
around the AGS switch increases to the START TEMP °F temperature setting,
the generator automatically starts and runs based on the RUN TIME HOURS
setting. The AGS attempts to start the generator immediately once the
temperature rises to this setting. The temperature start setting is adjustable
from 65°F-85°F. If the temperature start feature is not needed, ensure the
adjustment knob is turned fully counterclockwise to the OFF position.
Why would I use the temperature start feature? For RV users, you could
set the air conditioner to turn on (comes on when power is provided by the
generator) and leave the RV. The generator will automatically start when
the temperature rises to your AGS temperature start setting, providing
power to the air conditioner; thereby, turning it on. This allows you to leave
pets and precious items in your coach while dry camping in hot weather;
knowing your RV will stay cool and comfortable - plus, while the generator
is on, the house batteries are being charged.
START VOLTS DC: This setting allows you to enable and set a battery
voltage value that causes the generator to automatically start. When the
battery voltage decreases to or below this setting for two continuous minutes,
the generator automatically starts and runs based on the RUN TIME HOURS
setting. The voltage start setting is adjustable from 10-12 VDC (12 VDC
jumper), 20-24 VDC (for 24 VDC jumper), or 40-48 VDC (48 VDC jumper).
If the DC voltage start feature is not needed, turn the adjustment knob fully
counterclockwise to the OFF position.
Info: This system is capable of 12 VDC, 24 VDC, or 48 VDC opera-
tion. For 24 VDC applications, double the value indicated on the cover
(i.e., 11 VDC equals 22 VDC) and for 48 VDC applications, multiply
the indicated value by four (i.e., 11 VDC equals 44 VDC).
CLOCK AM/PM: This setting is used to set the internal clock of the AGS.
The internal clock of the AGS must be set to the correct time in order for the
Quiet Time feature to function appropriately. If the Quiet Time feature is not
used, this clock setting is not required to be adjusted.
To set or change the clock, ensure the current time of day is between the
hours of 8 AM and 4 PM; then, slowly rotate the knob marked CLOCK AM/PM
clockwise to increase the time or counterclockwise to decrease the time. Once
set, the clock will continue to keep time. However, the clock must be reset if
the controller loses power, or when you change time zones.
QUIET TIME PM/AM: This setting is used to prevent the generator from
starting during specifi c hours of the evening (PM) and early morning (AM). It
is adjustable for fi ve pre-selected time ranges.
To set Quiet Time, turn the dial either counterclockwise or clockwise to the
hours required: 9-7 (9 PM to 7 AM), 9-8 (9 PM to 8 AM), 9-9 (9 PM to 9 AM),
10-8 (10 PM to 8 AM), or 11-8 (11 PM to 8 AM). The program only needs
to be set once. If the Quiet Time feature is not needed, turn the dial fully
counter-clockwise to the OFF position.
Info: If the generator is running when the Quiet Time evening hour
(PM) is reached, it automatically stops and does not automatically
start until after the Quiet Time morning hour (AM) has passed.
