• Enable – Select this option to have the AGS monitor temperature (04
Start Temp F) and/or the inverter’s battery voltage (05 Start Volts) to
determine when to automatically start the generator.
• Test – Select this option to test the generator. This option starts the
generator, runs it for approximately 30-60 seconds, and then stops the
generator. Use this setting for testing generator wiring and operation.
After a successful start/stop sequence test, this selection returns to OFF.
• Enable w/QT – Select this option to have the AGS monitor temperature
(04 Start Temp F) and/or the inverter’s battery voltage (05 Start Volts)
to determine when to automatically start the generator—with the Quiet
Time parameters enabled.
WARNING: Never allow the generator to start/run in an enclosed
garage or any other type of enclosed structure without proper ven-
tilation. Carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, deadly gas may
accumulate and cause serious injury or death.

7.3.2 Monitoring the AGS using the ME-RC
The following menus are helpful for the proper operation and monitoring
of your AGS/generator system. Press the AGS button, and then rotate and
press the SELECT knob to access the following menus:
AGS: 01 AGS Control Menu
This menu is used to enable the AGS (selecting Enable or Enable
w/QT). A “Test” setting is also available to ensure the start/stop wiring from
the generator to the ME-AGS-N is correct. The available settings are:
• OFF – This option disables the AGS’s generator start/stop functions. It
also turns the generator off if it is running from an autostart command.
When OFF is selected, the generator will not start automatically. This is
the default setting. If you have an AGS fault, select OFF to clear it.
Info: If DC power is lost to the remote or to the system, this menu
resets to the default OFF position for safety.
• Off
• Quiet
Time
• Ready
• Start Temp
• Start Test
• Start VDC
• Fault Gen Run
Info: This menu is important when determining if the AGS is working
correctly, or for troubleshooting an AGS installation.
Info: For any fault mode displayed in the status menu, please refer
to Section 7.8.3 “Resolving Fault Statuses” in this manual.
Note: AGS menus 03-07 were covered in Section 7.1.
