12.0 ME-AGS-N Remote Troubleshooting
12.2 Resolving Operational Statuses
The following operational statuses can display on your remote control, and
some may indicate an abnormal condition. This section provides additional
information and assistance to resolve these statuses (if needed).
• No
Comm – This is a normal status if there is no AGS installed. If an
AGS is installed, use the information below to determine the remedy.
Remedy: If an AGS is installed, then follow these steps:
1. Ensure the green READY indicator on the AGS module is on (blink-
ing or solid) to indicate that the AGS module is getting power
(see Figure 5-1).
2. Ensure the communications cable is connected from the Network
port on the Magnum inverter to the NETWORK port on the ME-AGS-N
(see Figures 2-5 and 2-6).
3. Ensure you have the correct communications cable
(see Figure 2-4).
• AC In – This is a normal status when the input to the inverter/charger is
connected to an AC source such as utility/grid power, or to an alternate
generator that may not be controlled by the AGS.
Remedy: The AC In status prevents the AGS from autostarting. To
enable the AGS to autostart the generator, remove any AC power
connected to the input of the inverter/charger.
• Lockout – This is a normal status (ME-RC only) whenever the AGS is
confi gured to comply with RVIA requirements (for use in an RV). This
status displays whenever the generator is started or stopped for any
condition outside the control of the AGS. To clear or disable the Lockout
status, refer to the remedies below.
Remedy: To clear a Lockout status: Ensure the generator is off. On
the ME-RC, go to the AGS: 01 AGS Control menu (the current set-
ting should be AGS = Off) and press the SELECT knob to re-enter
the “Off” selection. Once you re-select the Off setting, the Lockout
status will clear (now should read “Off”). You must re-enable the
AGS for autostart operation by changing the AGS control from AGS
= Off to AGS = Enable, or AGS= Enable w/QT (under the AGS: 01
AGS Control menu).
Remedy: To disable the Lockout feature: If the AGS in not used in an
RV installation (or you do not need to comply with RVIA requirements),
you can disable the Lockout feature. Under the AGS: 08 AGS TECH
menu, access the AGS Mode setting and change it from RV to Other
(AGS Mode = Other). For more information on this setting, refer to the
AGS mode under the AGS: 08 AGS TECH menu on page 35.
12.3 ME-AGS-N Faults using your Remote
For the eight faults that follow, refer to the Remedy immediately following
the list.
• Fault
Temp – The generator failed to autostart and run per the 04 Start
Temp F menu’s (ME-RC) or the 04E Gen Run Temp menu’s (ME-ARC and
ME-RTR) start parameters.
