Installation/Setup – ME-AGS-S (Standalone Version)
The following pertains to the ME-PT1 when connected to the ME-AGS-S
(Standalone Version) controller.
Info: Other than the specifi c installation and setup instructions
listed below, refer to the ME-AGS-S Owner’s Manual (64-0004) for
installation, setup, and operation of the ME-AGS-S.
Installation
To prepare the ME-AGS-S remote switch:
1. Find the temperature sensor behind the remote switch’s front plate. It is a
small reddish looking device close to the metal front plate (see Figure 2).
2. Use a pair of small wire cutters to cut open one side of the temperature
sensor wire (see Figure 3). Ensure the cut ends are not able to touch.
To install the ME-PT1 (refer to the steps below and Figure 4):
1. Plug a 6-conductor phone splitter into the REMOTE (purple) port on the
ME-AGS-S controller.
2. Plug the ME-PT1 adapter into one of the phone splitter’s ports, and
then plug the remote switch—using its communications cable—into the
phone splitter’s other port.
3. Connect the red wire on the ME-PT1 adapter to a +12-volt DC external
switching device (i.e., switch).

Setup
1. On the ME-AGS-S, turn the START TEMP F adjustment clockwise to any
temperature position (DO NOT turn counterclockwise to OFF position).
2. Press the remote switch on the ME-AGS-S to the up (ENABLE) position.
ME-PT1 to ME-AGS-S Operation
The type of external switch (i.e., “maintain” or “momentary”) connected to
the ME-PT1 adapter determines how long the generator can run.
A. Using a momentary type switch: Pressing the switch causes the generator
to run for the duration of the RUN TIME HOURS period, and then stop.
B. Using a maintain type switch: If the switch is set to OFF, the generator
stays off. If the switch is set to ON, the generator runs until the switch is set
to OFF. Once the switch is set to OFF, the generator will not stop until the
current RUN TIME HOURS cycle has been satisfi ed.
