Using an AGS Module: Setup
SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run Time when Autostarted Menu
This menu is used to set the maximum time the generator will run if autostarted.
• Max Gen Run Time when Autostarted – Sets the maximum amount of time you want the
generator to run once it has been autostarted.
Default setting: Max Gen Run Time when Autostarted = 12.0 Hrs
Range: OFF, 0.1-25.5 Hrs (0.1 hr increments)
Why use Max Gen Run Time? This setting ensures the generator does not run longer than desired
after an autostart. Designating a max run time ensures that the gen will stop if the autostop setting
cannot be satisfi ed. For example, if you know the fuel capacity of your generator is 5 hours, set
the Max Gen Run Time setting to 4.5 hours to ensure the generator does not run out of fuel.
Info: When the generator autostarts, it will stop when the autostop parameter for that
particular setting has been satisfi ed. For example, if the generator starts due to the
04A Gen Run DC Volts menu’s autostart setting, it stops when the Stop Volts autostop
setting is satisfi ed; unless the Max Gen Run Time setting has been reached. The Max
Gen Run Time setting overrides any autostop setting and causes the fault LED to come
on and displays the Fault MaxRn status. 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 and a Fault MaxRn status occurs, refer to the METER button’s
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 button’s 04C Gen Run Time display
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 will not autostart again until you clear the fault
by selecting OFF under the CTRL:03 Gen Control menu.
SETUP: 04G Gen 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
autostarting 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.
Info: The ME-RTR contains a real time clock that must be set for proper operation of
the SETUP: 04G Gen Quiet Time menu feature.
• Set Gen Quiet Time (Begin Quiet) – Set the time you want Quiet Time to begin.
Default setting: Begin Quiet = OFF
Range: OFF, 12:00AM-11:45PM (15 minute increments)
• Set Gen Quiet Time (End Quiet) – Set the time you want Quiet Time to end.
Default setting: End Quiet = 10:00AM
Range: 12:00AM-11:45PM (15 minute increments)
• Set Time to Topoff Battery before Quiet Time – This menu sets the time period the
generator will autostart and run before Quiet Time begins. The generator will only start on
Quiet Time topoff if the battery voltage is within 0.3 volts¹ or less of reaching the 04A Gen
Run DC Volts start parameter, or the battery’s SOC is within 4% or less of reaching the 04D
Gen Run SOC start parameter².
Default setting: Set Time to Topoff Battery before Quiet Time = OFF
Range: OFF, 30-120 Minutes (30 minute increments)
Note¹: This voltage is scaled depending on your battery system; ≤0.3 for 12-volt systems, ≤0.6
for 24-volt systems, and ≤1.2 for 48-volt systems.
Note²: Requires the optional Battery Monitor Kit (ME-BMK or ME-BMK-NS) to be installed and enabled.
