10.3.2 Monitoring the AGS using the ME-RTR
The ME-RTR router has additional menus that are helpful for the proper op-
eration and monitoring of your AGS system.
10.3.2.1 ME-RTR Router’s AGS METER Button
From the AGS Home screen, press the router’s METER button, and then ro-
tate the SELECT knob to view the following read-only menus.
10.0 Using the ME-RTR Router
AUTO: This selection uses the settings from the SETUP button’s 04 AGS Setup
menus to automatically start and stop the generator. Refer to the 04 AGS Setup
menus in Section 10.1 to set the start and stop parameters for the generator.
ON: This selection manually starts the generator by sending a “start”
command from the AGS. Once the generator is started, it must be manually
stopped, either from an external stop switch or by selecting OFF from the 03
Gen Control menu, which sends a “stop” command from the AGS module.
Info: When “ON” is selected, the Magnum inverter will not attempt to
accept the generator AC voltage until the warm-up period is satisfi ed.
Info: Manually start the generator and have it automatically stop by
selecting ON from the 03 Gen Control menu once the generator is
running, and then changing the selection to AUTO to automatically
stop the generator. When the generator has been manually started,
and then the AUTO setting is selected, the AGS status displays as
“Start VDC” and uses the autostop setting under the SETUP button’s
04A Gen Run VDC menu (even if not active) or the 04F Max Gen Run
Time menu, whichever occurs fi rst. This manual on, auto off feature is
useful if you want to make sure the generator starts before you leave.
OFF: This selection turns the generator off if it is running from either a manual
“on” command or an autostart command. When OFF is selected, the AGS is
prevented from starting the generator automatically. This is the default setting.
Info: When “OFF” is selected, the AGS turns off immediately without
any cooldown time (if set). However, if the generator is manually
started from a generator control panel or a generator remote panel,
selecting OFF may not shut down the generator.
Info: If DC power is lost to the remote or to the inverter system,
this menu resets to the default OFF position for safety.
10.3 ME-AGS-N Operation/Monitoring using ME-RTR
This section covers the menus under the ME-RTR’s CTRL, METER, PORT and
TECH buttons that determine how to control and operate the generator. The
section also includes menus that are used to help monitor the AGS and the
generator’s starting and running conditions.
10.3.1 Controlling the AGS using the ME-RTR
The AGS uses the CTRL: 03 Gen Control menu to activate the generator either
manually or automatically. From the AGS Home screen, press the CTRL button
on the ME-RTR router and rotate the SELECT knob to the 03 Gen Control menu.
CTRL: 03 Gen Control
This menu is used to manually turn the connected generator on and off, or
to select the AUTO feature which enables the active generator autostart and
autostop settings to control the connected generator. Available options are:
