Using an AGS Module: Troubleshooting
• Fault MaxRn – The generator has run longer than expected and has met or exceeded the
SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run Time setting. The AGS will attempt to turn the generator off—after
autostarting—when this fault occurs.
Info: The Max Gen Run Time menu uses the SETUP: 04B Gen Run Time settings to
determine the generator’s run time. Cooldown and warm-up times are not included in
the Gen Run Time display.
Remedy: Confi rm that all the autostop parameters that are active or enabled can be
satisfi ed before the SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run Time setting is reached.
• If using the SETUP: 04A Gen Run Volts DC menu’s parameters:
– with a battery voltage setting to autostop, ensure the autostop voltage is less than
the temperature-compensated absorb charge voltage.
– with the “Float” setting to autostop, ensure the time that the charger is in the Bulk
Charge and Absorb Charge¹ stages is shorter than the 04F Max Gen Run Time setting.
Refer to the SETUP: 04A Gen Run DC Volts section (page 79) for additional information
on this setting.
Note¹: Several conditions determine the length of time that the charger is in the
Absorb Charge stage. Ensure the SETUP: 03D Absorb Done (Time, Amps, or SOC)
setting—determines when the Absorb Charge stage is complete and enters the Float
stage—is taken into account when setting the 04F Max Gen Run Time setting.
• If using SETUP: 04B Gen Run Time, confi rm you have not set the total run time (start
time to the stop time) longer than the SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run Time setting.
• If using SETUP: 04C Gen Run AC Amps, confi rm the inverter load(s) that is used to
determine the Stop AC Amps setting is not required to run longer than the SETUP: 04F
Max Gen Run Time setting.
• If using SETUP: 04D Gen Run SOC, confi rm that the METER: 05A BMK SOC reading
is not “Think’n”, but shows an actual percentage reading on the display (e.g., 85%),
and the Stop SOC setting can be satisfi ed before the SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run Time
setting is reached.
• If using SETUP: 04E Gen Run Temp, the temperature around the remote temperature
sensor has not reached the Gen Run Temp setting. You need to either lower the
Start Temp setting, determine how to cool the area (remote temp sensor location) to
below the Start Temp setting before the 04F Max Gen Run Time setting is reached, or
increase the Max Gen Run Time setting.
• Lastly, confi rm that your warm-up and/or cooldown time when added to your autostop
condition does not exceed the SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run Time setting.
Info: Beginning with Version 5.2 of the ME-AGS-N, the Max Gen Run Time setting can be
defeated. In some cases, it may be appropriate to set the Max Gen Run Time setting to
OFF. However, this feature is mainly provided as a safety feature to ensure the generator
doesn’t run longer than the time it takes to reach the autostop conditions or to expend
the generator’s fuel capacity, whichever occurs fi rst—take this into consideration if this
setting is defeated.
• Fault SOC – The generator failed to autostart and run per the 04D Gen Run SOC menu’s start
parameters.
• Fault Temp – The generator failed to autostart and run per the 04E Gen Run Temp menu’s
start parameters.
• Fault Test – The generator failed to autostart and run after the red TEST button is pressed
on the AGS module.
Note: The ME-RTR does not provide a “test” selection, instead it can be set to manually turn
the generator on and off, which can be used to test the generator wiring to the AGS.
• Fault Time Daily – The generator failed to autostart and run per the 04B Gen Run Time
menu’s start parameters.
