Table 7-2, ME-ARC Autostart/Autostop Matrix
7.1 Setting Up the AGS using the ME-ARC
Press the SETUP button on the ME-ARC remote, and then rotate the SELECT knob to the 04 AGS
Setup display. The menus available from this screen allow the generator to be automatically
started and stopped based on many different conditions. From Table 7-2, determine the specifi c
autostart and autostop conditions with which you want the generator to be automatically con-
trolled, and then use that specifi c menu setting to confi gure the AGS.
Info: For information on using the CTRL, METER, and TECH button menus, refer to
Section 7.2 “Operating/Monitoring the AGS using the ME-ARC”.
Info: The Auto Connect setting must be selected from the CTRL: 01 ACIn Control menu
if a ME-AGS-N is installed and enabled in the system. Otherwise, when the generator
is autostarted it may be prevented from connecting because the criteria to allow the
AC input to connect (02C AC In - Time, 02D AC In - VDC, or 02E AC In - SOC) may not
have been met.
Note: This is true unless you are using an inverter that has two independent AC
inputs—one for grid and the other for generator (i.e., MSH4024RE). On the MSH4024RE
inverter, the AC In control features only work with the GRID IN (AC1) input.
Note¹: Only applicable to MS-PAE, MS-PE and MSH inverters.
Note²: Autostart/stop conditions using SOC require a ME-BMK to be installed.
