4.0 Operation
4.0 Operation
This section details the front panel controls and the LED indicators on the
AGS controller and remote switch; and explains the operation using these
LED indicators.
4.1 AGS Controller Operation LED Indicators
The front of the controller (see Figure 4-1) provides a pushbutton to test
the AGS system operation, and two LEDs indicators for viewing system
operation.
4.1.1 TEST Switch - The TEST switch when pressed and released will
attempt to turn on the connected generator and allow it to run for at least
30 seconds before turning the generator off. This start/stop test is used to
confi rm that all wiring from the generator to the AGS is correct and that the
GEN TYPE setting is confi gured correctly for your generator type.
Info: Pushing and releasing the red TEST pushbutton switch enables
the same test as pressing and releasing the momentary TEST position
on the AGS remote switch.
4.1.2 STATUS LED Indicator
Blinking Green: Indicates that the AGS system is initiating a generator start
sequence. This can happen based on two conditions, either: 1) The TEST
switch (on the controller or remote switch) has been pressed and released;
or 2) The remote switch has been set to the ENABLE position and the START
TEMP °F setting and/or the START VOLTS DC setting has been reached.
Solid Green: Indicates the generator has started successfully and is providing
the run sense voltage to terminals 2 (+) and 4 (-) of the AGS controller.
Solid Red: This is a fault condition to indicate that the generator has not
provided a correct Run Sense voltage to terminals 2 (+) and 4 (-) of the AGS
controller after four start attempts.
4.1.3 READY LED Indicator
Solid Green: Normal AGS System indication. Indicates the AGS controller
has power and the Remote Switch is plugged in correctly.
Blinking Green: Indicates that the AGS controller has power, but the remote
switch is not sensed. This means the remote switch is either not connected,
incorrectly connected, is defective, or has an incorrect or defective cable.
