AGS State-of-Charge (SOC) Start
With a FLEXnet DC, a generator can be started or stopped based on the battery state of charge (SOC)
rather than voltage. However, this feature may become less accurate if the system routinely cycles
without obtaining a full charge for long periods of time.
The Enable Full Charge set point overrides the Stop SOC function by establishing a time period from 1
to 30 days. At the end of this time, the batteries will be charged to 100% regardless of the SOC value.
When Enable Full Charge is set to Y , the MATE3 will compare the Days Since Parms Met display
(
415H422H
Figure 35) against the Interval days shown in
416H423H
Figure 127. If Days Since Parms Met is equal or higher,
then the generator will run until the FLEXnet DC's charge parameters are met. More information on this
function is available on page 152.
Setting Enable Full Charge to N or setting the Interval days to zero (0) days will disable the function.

AGS Must Run Schedule
Must Run Schedule time is a daily time period when the MATE3 commands the generator to run. This is
usually set because large loads are expected to be present. Must Run Schedule times can be set
individually for weekdays and weekends.
Setting start and stop times to the same time disables the Must Run Schedule function.

AGS Quiet Time Schedule
Quiet time is a period of time when the generator should not run, due to the risk of inappropriate noise or
other reasons.
Setting start and stop times to the same time disables the Quiet Time function.
Set Points:
 Enable – N = No, Y = Yes
 Start SOC – 0 to 99%
 Stop SOC – 0 to 100%
 Enable Full Charge – N = No, Y = Yes
 Interval Days – 1 to 30 days; this is the time in days used by
the Enable Full Charge (100% SOC) function and the FNDC’s
charging parameters.
Set points:
 Enable – N = No, Y = Yes
 Weekday Start – 00:00 to 23:59
 Weekday Stop – 00:00 to 23:59
 Weekend Start – 00:00 to 23:59
 Weekend Stop – 00:00 to 23:59
