4.4 – Conext Auto Generator Start (AGS) Settings
The Schneider Electric Conext
TM
Auto Generator Start (AGS) device allows for a connected generator to
automatically start and stop according to battery voltage. Check with your generator manufacturer
regarding the compatibility of your generator with this AGS device.

• 1. Enable the Load trigger if the battery bank does not meet the Power Bank Sizing requirements outlined in Section 3.1.
The Start Load trigger enables the generator to start at a specified AC load (current draw) on the
inverter. The current draw must be present for 5 minutes before the generator will start. The generator will
assist the inverter with powering the AC load.
If the inverter(s’) power rating exceeds the battery bank’s maximum instantaneous discharge rating (i.e.
does not adhere to the sizing requirements outlined in Section 3.1 above), enable the Load start trigger to
prevent the battery bank from over-discharging through the inverter to the loads.
1. First convert DC discharge current to DC watts. (AC and DC watts are the same)
2. Then apply the inverter efficiency.
3. Then convert AC watts to AC current.
