Setup

START TEMP °F: This setting allows you to enable and adjust a temperature

value that causes the generator to automatically start. When the temperature

around the AGS switch increases to the START TEMP °F temperature setting,

the generator automatically starts and runs based on the RUN TIME HOURS

setting. The AGS attempts to start the generator immediately once the

temperature rises to this setting. The temperature start setting is adjustable

from 65°F-85°F. If the temperature start feature is not needed, ensure the

adjustment knob is turned fully counterclockwise to the OFF position.

Why would I use the temperature start feature? For RV users, you could

set the air conditioner to turn on (comes on when power is provided by the

generator) and leave the RV. The generator will automatically start when

the temperature rises to your AGS temperature start setting, providing

power to the air conditioner; thereby, turning it on. This allows you to leave

pets and precious items in your coach while dry camping in hot weather;

knowing your RV will stay cool and comfortable - plus, while the generator

is on, the house batteries are being charged.

START VOLTS DC: This setting allows you to enable and set a battery

voltage value that causes the generator to automatically start. When the

battery voltage decreases to or below this setting for two continuous minutes,

the generator automatically starts and runs based on the RUN TIME HOURS

setting. The voltage start setting is adjustable from 10-12 VDC (12 VDC

jumper), 20-24 VDC (for 24 VDC jumper), or 40-48 VDC (48 VDC jumper).

If the DC voltage start feature is not needed, turn the adjustment knob fully

counterclockwise to the OFF position.

Info: This system is capable of 12 VDC, 24 VDC, or 48 VDC opera-

tion. For 24 VDC applications, double the value indicated on the cover

(i.e., 11 VDC equals 22 VDC) and for 48 VDC applications, multiply

the indicated value by four (i.e., 11 VDC equals 44 VDC).

CLOCK AM/PM: This setting is used to set the internal clock of the AGS.

The internal clock of the AGS must be set to the correct time in order for the

Quiet Time feature to function appropriately. If the Quiet Time feature is not

used, this clock setting is not required to be adjusted.
To set or change the clock, ensure the current time of day is between the

hours of 8 AM and 4 PM; then, slowly rotate the knob marked CLOCK AM/PM

clockwise to increase the time or counterclockwise to decrease the time. Once

set, the clock will continue to keep time. However, the clock must be reset if

the controller loses power, or when you change time zones.
QUIET TIME PM/AM: This setting is used to prevent the generator from

starting during specifi c hours of the evening (PM) and early morning (AM). It

is adjustable for fi ve pre-selected time ranges.
To set Quiet Time, turn the dial either counterclockwise or clockwise to the

hours required: 9-7 (9 PM to 7 AM), 9-8 (9 PM to 8 AM), 9-9 (9 PM to 9 AM),

10-8 (10 PM to 8 AM), or 11-8 (11 PM to 8 AM). The program only needs

to be set once. If the Quiet Time feature is not needed, turn the dial fully

counter-clockwise to the OFF position.

Info: If the generator is running when the Quiet Time evening hour

(PM) is reached, it automatically stops and does not automatically

start until after the Quiet Time morning hour (AM) has passed.
