Alternative Option 3 – Use an external 120 VAC coiled relay to bring the
generator’s battery voltage to the AGS gen run sense terminal (AGS terminal
block – Terminal #2) only while the generator is running. The generator’s
battery voltage must be 10 to 40 VDC.
Alternative Option 2 – Use a 120 VAC to 12 VDC step-down transformer
(normally used to charge power equipment batteries) and plug it into the
generator’s 120 VAC output. The step-down transformer provides 12 VDC
output only while the generator is running.
Alternative Option 1 – Tap into the positive side of the generator’s hour
meter or running lamp; ensure the voltage is 10 to 40 VDC only while the
generator is running.
