Generator Configuration
Generator Configuration provides the means to customize the following settings
if the generator being used doesn’t conform to one of the preset generator types
or if an exercise period needs to be scheduled.

Setting Description
Generator Type Selects the starting requirements of the generator. The starting requirements
determine how the AGS must be wired to the generator’s starting system. For more
information, see the Conext Automatic Generator Start Owner’s Guide.
Starter Cool
Down Time
Sets an interval between start attempts if the generator fails to start on the first
attempt. This time period allows the start motor to cool sufficiently before the AGS
signals it to begin cranking again.
Generator Cool
Down Time
Sets an interval between a generator stop trigger occurring and the AGS actually
stopping the generator. This setting is used in power system to unload the generator
before the AGS shuts it down.
Maximum
Runtime
Sets a limit on how long the generator will run. This setting overrides any automatic
start triggers. For example, if the generator starts in response to low battery voltage,
and the batteries are not fully charged before Max Runtime is reached, the generator
will stop. In addition, when the generator is started manually from the SCP, the
generator will stop when Max Runtime is reached.
Exercise Period Sets the minimum time interval between each running of the generator. If the
generator has not been run within this time frame, the AGS will start the generator to
“exercise” it. The time interval defined by the Exercise Period setting begins with the
last time the generator was run for any reason, not with the last time the AGS
exercised the generator.
Exercise
Duration
Sets how long the generator will run when it is exercised. The Exercise Dur trigger
requires that any parameter other than “0” be set in Exercise Per and a time of day be
set in the Exercise Time trigger.
