Using an AGS Module: Setup
SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run Time Menu
This menu is used to set the maximum time the generator will run if autostarted.
• Set Max Gen Run Time – Set this to the maximum amount of time you want the generator
to run once it has been autostarted.
Default setting: 12.0 Hrs
Range: OFF*, 0.1-25.5 Hrs
* The Max Gen Run Time setting can only be turned off using a ME-AGS-N with Ver ≥ 5.2.
Why should I use Max Gen Run Time? This setting ensures the generator does not run longer
than desired once autostarted. Designating a maximum run time ensures the generator stops if
the autostop setting cannot be satisfi ed. For example, if the fuel capacity of a generator is fi ve
hours, set the Max Gen Run Time setting to 4.5 hours to ensure it does not run out of fuel.
Info: When the generator autostarts, it autostops when the autostop parameter for that
particular setting has been satisfi ed. For example, if the generator starts due to the 04A
Gen Run VDC menu’s Start Gen Volts autostart setting, it then stops once it satisfi es
the Stop Gen Volts autostop setting. However, the Max Gen Run Time setting overrides
any autostop setting. If the generator stops because the Max Gen Run Time setting has
been reached, the Fault MaxRn status occurs. If this happens, you may have to increase
the Max Gen Run Time setting or adjust the autostop setting to fi nish sooner. If multiple
autostart settings are set in the 04 AGS Setup menus and a Fault MaxRn status occurs,
refer to the METER: 04A AGS Status menu to identify which condition autostarted the
generator. This way you will know which auto condition is running longer than the Max
Gen Run Time setting.
Info: The Max Gen Run Time menu uses the METER: 04C Gen Run Time value to
determine the generator’s run time.
Info: If the generator is stopped due to the Max Gen Run Time parameter being met,
the status becomes Fault MaxRn and the generator will not autostart again until you
clear the fault by selecting OFF from the CTRL: 03 Gen Control menu.
SETUP: 04G Quiet Time Menu
This menu is used to enable the Quiet Time feature and to set the period of time each day in
which the generator is not allowed to automatically run. The generator is prevented from au-
tostarting during the Quiet Time period. Also, if any autostart parameter in the 04 AGS Setup
menus has been met and the generator is running when the Quiet Time start setting is reached,
the generator will turn off. The generator will not try to autostart until the Quiet Time stop setting
has been reached and an autostart condition is once again satisfi ed.
The ME-ARC time clock must be set for proper operation of the Quiet Time feature (see
SETUP: 01 System Setup/01A Set Clock menu).
• Set Quiet Time – Set to ON (allows you to set the start and stop times).
Default setting: OFF
Range: OFF, ON (12:00AM-11:45PM in 15 min intervals)
◊ Set Start Quiet Hour – Set the hour for Quiet Time to start.
◊ Set Start Quiet Minute – Set the minute for Quiet Time to start.
◊ Set Start Quiet AM-PM – Set AM or PM for the start of Quiet Time.
◊ Set Stop Quiet Hour – Set the hour for Quiet Time to stop.
◊ Set Stop Quiet Minute – Set the minute for Quiet Time to stop.
◊ Set Stop Quiet AM-PM – Set AM or PM for the stop of Quiet Time.
