Start and Stop Reasons for the AGS Function
The first two columns in this table is the list of Automatic Generator Start reasons which may be displayed
in the
Gen hot key screen as shown in Figure 54. The remaining columns display all possible reasons for
the generator to automatically stop. The possible stop reasons are related to the start reason.
For example, a generator which started due to
Load kW can stop due to reduction of load kilowatts, due
to Quiet Time, or manually, but it will not stop due to SOC or for any of the other reasons.

NOTES:
 "Setting" refers to the "Interval Days" setting in the State of Charge Start screen as depicted in Figure 127.
 CPM, or Charged Parameters Met, refers to the FNDC's full-charge parameters as defined on page 48.
 The conditions of the "Inverter In Float or Silent" column will stop the generator if the inverter reaches these stages before the conditions of the
other columns take effect.
 The conditions of the Stop SOC% column apply as long as "Days Since Parms Met" does not exceed "Interval Days". The generator will be shut off
upon reaching the "Stop SOC%" setting as shown in Figure 127.
 The conditions of the Stop at 100% SOC column apply if "Days Since Parms Met" equals or exceeds "Interval Days." The generator will ignore the
Stop SOC% setting and continue running until the battery SOC is at 100%. (This function does not operate if Enable Full Charge is set at N, or if the
Interval is set at 0.)
 The conditions of the FNDC Charge Parms Met (CPM) column apply when "Days Since Parms Met" equals or exceeds "Interval Days" and Enable Full
Charge (100% SOC) is disabled as noted above. These conditions also apply if for any reason the charge parameters are not met when the batteries
reach 100% SOC as noted above. The generator will continue to run until the FNDC's charge parameters have been met.
