5.1 Advanced Generator Start Mode
Advanced Generator Start (AGS) Mode utilizes the AUX output found on FX inverters and is compatible with any 2 wire start
generator. AGS allows the user to choose a variety of conditions that will start a generator by energizing the FX AUX output.
AGS will start the generator anytime one or more of the Gen Start conditions are true, and will stop the generator only when all
of the conditions are false.
After AGS starts a generator, the FX must connect to the generator within a 5 minute window. If the FX fails to connect within
5 minutes, a Genstart error is displayed by the MATE2M, and all subsequent AGS conditions will be ignored until the AGS
mode has been reset. AGS mode can be reset by using the GEN START CONTROL found by pressing the button
twice. Pressing and then resets all AGS errors or faults. The generator can also be manually started using
the GEN START CONTROL screen by pressing . If the user wants the generator to auto stop after a charge cycle is
complete, the user can press the button after the generator has been started by pressing .
The following is a discussion of all the AGS setup parameters and start condition available to the user:
