12.0 ME-AGS-N Remote Troubleshooting
• Fault Test – The generator failed to autostart and run after “Test” is
selected under the AGS: 01 AGS Control menu in the ME-RC, or the red
TEST button is pressed on the AGS module (using any remote).
Note: The ME-ARC and ME-RTR do not provide a “test” selection, in-
stead they can be set to manually turn the generator on and off, which
can be used to test the generator wiring to the AGS.
• Fault VDC – The generator failed to autostart and run per the 05 Start
Volts (ME-RC) or the 04A Gen Run VDC (ME-ARC & ME-RTR) menu’s
start parameters.
• Fault Amp – The generator failed to autostart and run per the 04C Gen
Run Amps (ME-ARC & ME-RTR only) menu’s start parameters.
• Fault Exercise – The generator failed to autostart and run per the 04H
Gen Exercise (ME-ARC & ME-RTR only) menu’s start parameters.
• Fault SOC – The generator failed to autostart and run per the 04D Gen
Run SOC (ME-ARC & ME-RTR only) menu’s start parameters.
• Fault Time – The generator failed to autostart and run per the 04B Gen
Run Time (ME-ARC & ME-RTR only) menu’s start parameters.
• Fault Topoff – The generator failed to autostart and run per the 04G
Quiet Time Topoff (ME-ARC and ME-RTR only) start parameters.
Remedy: One of the above fault messages may display on the remote
control when:
A. The AGS attempts to start the generator four times, but the gen
failed to start and run per the specifi c autostart parameters; or,
B. The generator started, but did not provide the correct gen run
sense signal to the AGS module. For either scenario, refer to Section
6.2 to troubleshoot why the generator does not start or run.
• Fault MaxRn – The generator has turned off because the gen run time
— after autostarting — has exceeded the SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run
Time setting (ME-ARC and ME-RTR only).
Info: The Max Gen Run Time menu uses the SETUP: 04B Gen Run
Time display to determine the generator’s run time. Cooldown and
warm-up times are not included in the Gen Run Time display.
Remedy: Confi rm that all the autostop parameters that are active or
enabled can be satisfi ed before the SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run Time
setting is reached.
• If using the SETUP: 04A Gen Run VDC menu’s parameters:
– with a battery voltage setting to autostop, ensure the auto-
stop voltage is less than the temperature-compensated absorb
charge voltage.
– with the “Float” setting to autostop, ensure the time that the
charger is in the Bulk Charge and Absorb Charge¹ stages is shorter
than the 04F Max Gen Run Time setting.
Refer to your remote’s SETUP: 04A Gen Run VDC section for ad-
ditional information on this setting.
Note¹: Several conditions determine the length of time that
the charger is in the Absorb Charge stage. Ensure the SETUP:
03E Absorb Done (Time, Amps, or SOC) setting — determines
when the Absorb Charge stage is complete and enters the Float
stage — is taken into account when setting the 04F Max Gen
Run Time setting.
