12.0 ME-AGS-N Remote Troubleshooting
• If using SETUP: 04B Gen Run Time, confi rm you have not set
the total run time (start time to the stop time) longer than the
SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run Time setting.
• If using SETUP: 04C Gen Run Amps, confi rm the inverter load(s)
that is used to determine the Stop Gen AC Amps setting is not
required to run longer than the SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run Time
setting.
• If using SETUP: 04D Gen Run SOC, confi rm that the METER: 04A
BMK SOC reading is not “Think’n”, but shows an actual percent-
age reading on the display (i.e., 85%), and the Stop Gen SOC
setting can be satisfi ed before the SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run
Time setting is reached.
• If using SETUP: 04E Gen Run Temp, the temperature around
the remote temperature sensor has not reached the Gen Run
Temp setting. You need to either lower the Gen Run Temp Start
setting, determine how to cool the area (remote temp sensor
location) to below the Gen Run Temp Start setting before the
04F Max Gen Run Time setting is reached, or increase the Max
Gen Run Time setting.
Lastly, confi rm that your warm-up and/or cooldown time when added
to your autostop condition does not exceed the SETUP: 04F Max Gen
Run Time setting.
Info: Beginning with Revision 5.2 of the ME-AGS-N, the Max Gen Run
Time setting can be defeated. In some cases, it may be appropriate
to set the Max Gen Run Time setting to OFF. However, this feature is
mainly provided as a safety feature to ensure the generator doesn’t
run longer than the time it takes to reach the autostop conditions or
to expend the generator’s fuel capacity, whichever occurs fi rst – take
this into consideration if this setting is defeated.
• Gen Run Fault – The generator successfully started and ran for more
than two minutes, but the generator unexpectedly stopped by itself be-
fore the active AGS autostop condition was fi nished.
Info: The AGS module determines the generator is running by moni-
toring the gen run sense voltage/signal. When this gen run sense
voltage/signal is no longer available, the AGS thinks the gen is off
or has stopped.
Info: Gen run fault detection is not active if the generator is manu-
ally started.
Remedy:
A) If the generator is still running: Confi rm you are getting the cor-
rect gen run sense signal to the AGS module. For assistance, refer to
Section 6.2 “Generator Starting/Running Troubleshooting”.
B) If the generator is not running: Check the generator for fault
codes and adequate fuel. If neither is an issue, check the genera-
tor’s owner’s manual for troubleshooting tips to determine why it
may have shut down on its own.
