Using an AGS Module: Operation/Monitoring
METER: 04D AGS Temp Menu
When the AGS remote temp sensor (included, but use optional) is connected to the AGS’s RE-
MOTE (purple) port, this read-only menu displays the temperature of the temp sensor. If the
temperature around the sensor is very high (>104°F/>40°C) or the temp sensor is closed/
shorted, the display will show “TS Hot”; and, if the temperature around the sensor is very cold
(<33°F/<1°C), the display will show “TS Cold”. If the temperature sensor is not installed or the
temp sensor is open, the display will show “TS Open”.
Note: If a BTS is open, shorted, or not installed, the charge voltages will not be compensated and
the batteries will charge at a temperature of 77°F (25°C).
Info: The temperature in the METER: 04D AGS Temp menu can be displayed in either
Fahrenheit (default) or Celsius depending on the SETUP: 01C Temp Display setting.
If an optional ME-PT1 (or ME-PT2) pigtail adapter is connected to the AGS’s REMOTE (purple)
port, and the 04E Gen Run Temp Start setting is set to Ext Input, this display will show “Ext ON”
when the ME-PT1 has +12 present on its input (or the ME-PT2 is closed); and, will show “Ext OFF”
when the ME-PT1 does not have +12 on its input (or the ME-PT2 is open).
METER: 04E Since GenRun (Days) Menu
This read-only menu displays the number of days since the generator has last run. The Since Gen
Run Days timer begins once the CTRL: 03 Gen Control menu is set to AUTO, and then counts
by one day for every 24-hour period that the generator does not start. The Since Gen Run Days
timer resets any time the gen run sense signal is present on Terminal 2 of the AGS, which could
be either by autostarting the generator (including from a previous exercise run), or manually
starting the generator (using the ME-ARC).
Info: When the DIP switch inside the AGS is set to “2-Wire Standby Mode”—which does
not require the gen run sense signal to be present on Terminal 2 of the AGS—the Since
Gen Run Days timer will not be reset to zero.
Info: If a MSH4024RE (dual AC input inverter) is used, the Since Gen Run Days timer
also resets any time voltage is present on the AC2 (Gen) input.
METER: 04F Since 100% (Days) Menu
This read-only menu displays the number of days since the battery was at 100% SOC, and is
calculated in the ME-AGS-N. It is used by the SETUP: 04K Gen 100% SOC Start Days menu to
determine when to command the ME-AGS-N to autostart the generator.
Info: This display requires a ME-BMK to be installed and resets once the battery SOC
reaches 100%, power to AGS is lost, or data communications from the BMK is lost.
Info: The METER: 04F Since 100% (Days) menu uses information from the METER:
05B Battery SOC menu to determine the last time the battery SOC was 100%.
Info: For the METER: 04F Since 100% (Days) meter to increment, the METER: 05B
Battery SOC display must not display 100% (or No Comm), the optional ME-AGS-N
must be connected and enabled (CTRL: 03 Gen Control = AUTO) and the SETUP: 04K
Gen 100% SOC Start Days menu must also be enabled (not set to OFF).
Info: The METER: 04F Since 100% (Days) menu, which is calculated in the ME-AGS-N,
is similar to the METER: 05J Days Since 100% SOC menu (calculated in the remote). If
an AGS is installed at a later date (or the remote is reconnected), the two menus will
not be coordinated with each other. However, they will automatically synchronize once
the BMK’s METER: 05B Battery SOC menu reaches 100% SOC, or they can be manually
synchronized by momentarily removing the network cable from the BMK.
METER: 04G Hour Meter Menu
This menu displays how many hours the generator has run since this “hour meter” was last reset.
This menu is helpful if you would like to keep track of how long the generator has run from a
specifi c point; for example, after the generator has been serviced.
