5.1.1 AGS Setup

The AGS Setup menu contains the following general settings that define how the rest of the AGS routines will work:

AGS Port:

MATE/AGS/SETUP-----------

Ags port: 0

DOWN AGS INC DEC

The MATE2M can use any AUX output of an FX that is connected to it either
directly or via an OutBack HUB-4 or HUB-10. If a HUB is used, the MATE2M
must be told what Port that the desired FX resides on. If no HUB is used and
the MATE2M is directly plugged into an FX, then the AGS Port needs to be
set to 0 (zero). If a HUB is used, the numbered jack that the desired FX is
connected to on the HUB should be set as the AGS Port.

Example:
A MATE2M is connected to a HUB-10 that has four FXs and three MXs connected to it. The FXs are plugged into
Ports 1 – 4, as labeled on the HUB, and the MXs are plugged into Ports 5 – 7. The FX connected to Port #3 will
have its AUX output wired to the generator, so the AGS Port should be set to ‘3’.

AGS Control:

ADV/MATE/AGS/SETUP-----
Ags control: MAN-Off

DOWN UP CHANGE

This screen allows the AGS mode to be changed. Pressing
brings up a screen that allows the user to switch AGS from Manual to Auto.

regardless of any AGS setting; this is displayed as MAN – OFF.

GEN START CONTROL
currently: MAN-Off

OFF AUTO ON OK

An will allow the AGS settings to start and stop the generator
automatically, and is displayed as either AUTO – ON (when the generator is
running), or AUTO – OFF (when the generator is stopped).

An will energize the FX AUX output and start the generator regardless
of any AGS setting, this is displayed as MAN – ON.

ADV/MATE/AGS/SETUP-----
Ags enabled: NO

DOWN UP NO YES

AGS Enabled:

This is the overall control for AGS. If AGS is not enabled, none of the AGS
settings or controls will work.

ADV/MATE/AGS/SETUP-----
Dc genset: NO

DOWN UP NO YES

DC Genset:

A Yes means that you have a DC generator and that AGS routines which
normally stop the generator upon the FX going to Float or Silent will instead
stop the generator when the VDC Genstop setting is reached.

ADV/MATE/AGS/SETUP-----
Vdc genstop: 38.0 vdc

DOWN UP INC DEC

VDC Genstop:

This voltage setting will terminate a Voltage Start Genstart when the battery
voltage remains above it for 15 min regardless of the DC Genset setting.
