IMPORTANT:
The Quiet Time settings overrides most of the starting set points (for example,
Voltage, Load, Must Run, Exercise etc.), preventing the generator from starting
automatically. The only exception is the
2 Minute Start under Voltage Start ,
which is considered an “emergency” start set point and which will start the
generator regardless of Quiet Time settings.
Figure 149 MATE3/AGS/Quiet Time Schedule Screen
AGS Generator Exercise Schedule
Exercise is a time period when the generator is scheduled to run briefly, regardless of system conditions.
IMPORTANT:
Regularly running a generator keeps engine components lubricated, expels excess
moisture, charges the starting battery, and helps prevent carbon build-up. Consult
the generator owner’s manual for the appropriate length and frequency of exercise
periods and what load to run during the exercise period.

Set points:
 Enable – N = No, Y = Yes
 Weekday Start – x0:00; this is the time during the week
day that Quiet Time is initiated.
 Weekday Stop – x0:00; this is the time during the week day
that Quiet Time is stopped.
 Weekend Start – x0:00; this is the time during the
weekend that Quiet Time is initiated.
 Weekend Stop – x0:00; this is the time during the weekend
that Quiet Time is stopped.
Set points:
 Enable – N = No, Y = Yes
 Exercise Run on – Sun (Mon – Sun)
 Start Time – 0:00 to 23:59
 Run Period – 1 to 240 minutes
 Exercise Interval – 0 to 8 weeks; this is the amount
of time that will elapse between generator
exercise runs.
 Disable Sell During Exercise – N = No, Y = Yes; this
prevents a grid-interactive model from selling while
the generator is being exercised. This is mostly used
for DC generators.
