Why you might want it: In time, a user can determine patterns in energy usage and demands
on batteries. Must Run times the generator usage to the heaviest user demands during a day,
thus avoiding depleting the batteries or requiring a long recharging period. This might happen
in the mornings or early evenings when a family’s power demand is higher.
Must Run Time is a daily time period when the MATE commands the generator to run. Must
Run Times can be set individually for weekdays and weekends and consist of a must run start
time and a must Run stop time. Setting must run start and stop times to the same time disables
the Must Run function. To go to the Must Run screens, press the soft key on the
ADV/MATE/AGS/P2 screen.
