7.0 Using an AGS Module
61 ©2013 Magnum Energy, Inc.
Info: When the RV mode is used and the AGS system feature is
required, the user will need to re-enable the AGS system each time
the generator is manually turned on or off.
Info: If the AGS is automatically disabled when using RV mode, the
AGS status displays “Lockout”.
• AGS Rev – Displays the software revision of the connected AGS.
Info: The AGS accessory may display a “0.0” revision for several
reasons. Either the AGS is not installed, there is no communication
because of a bad or miswired network cable, the AGS is not pow-
ered, or the AGS is bad.
• AGS Mode – This setting allows you to confi gure the AGS to comply with
RVIA standards¹. When the AGS is set to “RV”, the AGS is automatically
disabled any time the generator is manually turned on or off. Select
Other if your system is not for a RV, or your requirements do not need
the AGS to be disabled should the generator be manually started/
stopped.
Default setting: AGS Mode = RV
Settings: RV, Other
AGS: 08 AGS TECH Menu
This menu displays meter data on the operating condition of the generator
and AGS, and has an AGS mode setting.
• Gen Run – Displays the number of hours the generator has been
currently running from an autostart condition. This menu does not
determine run time when the generator has been manually started.
• AGS VDC – Displays the battery voltage currently connected to the AGS
(on Terminals #3 and #4). This voltage is used to power the AGS and is
the voltage reading the 05 Start Volts setting is monitoring to determine
when to start.
• Temp – Displays the current temperature reading (##C/##F) of the
AGS temp sensor, and is the temperature the 04 Start Temp F setting is
monitoring to determine when to start. The following may also display:
TS Open: indicates the temperature sensor is not connected.
40C/104F: indicating a very hot temperature, this display usually
appears because there is a short (i.e., wires crossed, touching) in the
temperature sensor wires.
1C/33F: indicating a very cold temperature, this display usually appears
because there is an open (i.e., not connected, cut) in the temperature
sensor wires.
No Comm: there is no AGS connected.
Note¹ - RV manufacturers use the NFPA 1192 Standard on Recreational
Vehicles for installing an AGS system. This standard has a requirement that
states when the generator is manually turned on or off, the AGS system
must also be turned off. Selecting the “RV” setting satisfi es this requirement
by automatically disabling the AGS system when it senses that the generator
has been manually turned on or off. In installations where the requirement
to automatically disable the AGS system is not needed, the “Other” setting
can be chosen. When the AGS is in the “Other” mode, manually turning the
generator off or on will not automatically disable the AGS system.
