2.3 Mounting Procedure
2.3.1 Mounting the AGS Controller
1. Select a location that is clean, dry, and protected from extreme
temperatures to mount the controller. Wiring is much easier if the
controller is mounted within easy access to the generator’s remote
switch wiring. Refer to Figure 2-2 for the controller’s dimensions.
Info: The controller/switch can be mounted in any direction. However,
allow ample room to access the switch and the adjustment dials, and
to view the LEDs for operational status and troubleshooting.
2. Remove the green 8-pin friction fi t connector from the controller by
pulling it straight out. Wait to plug this 8-pin connector back into the
AGS controller until after the installation is completed and the AGS
functional tests are performed in Section 3.3.
3. Mount the AGS controller using the four #8 x 3/4” screws provided.
2.3.2
Mounting the AGS Remote Switch
1. Select a location that is convenient, clean, dry, and protected from
extreme temperatures to mount the remote switch.
Info: The temp sensor used to activate the temperature turn-on
feature is located on the back of the AGS switch. If using the tem-
perature turn-on feature, the switch must be placed where the room
temperatures can be accurately determined by the sensor. DO NOT
mount the switch near window drafts, or heating and air conditioning
ducts, and avoid mounting it on exterior walls.
2. Cut a hole for the switch. See Figure 2-3 for switch and cutout dimensions.
3. Plug the communications cable into the RJ12 connector on the back of
the AGS switch (Section 2.4), and then feed the communication cable
(6-conductor data cable) through the opening and route it to the AGS.
Info: Use care in routing the cable to ensure the cable does not
become pinched or cut by rough or sharp edges. Leave enough slack
to allow movement of the cable once the installation is complete.
4. Mount the switch with its bezel to the wall using the two #6 x 1” screws
provided.
