Figure 7-4, Example: AGS Fault Message on ME-RC Remote
•
When the gen control setting in the remote is in the
OFF
position, all
generator autostart functions are disabled and the AGS module’s STATUS
indicator will also be off.
•
If using the temperature autostart feature in an RV coach, set the air
conditioner thermostat slightly less than the setting (
04 Start Temp F
menu).
If using two air conditioners, set the second air conditioner thermostat 2° to
5° higher than the
fi
rst air conditioner. This staggered setting will allow the
fi
rst air conditioner to start and run in an effort to keep the coach cool. If the
temperature continues to rise inside the coach, the second air conditioner
will turn on to further cool the coach.
• When the generator starts successfully, the STATUS indicator on the
AGS module will turn solid green. The generator will run until an autostop
condition is reached or until it is manually turned off; at which time a stop
signal will be sent to the generator.
• If the generator is running when the AGS module’s TEST button is
pressed (or the
Test
setting is selected from the
01 AGS Control
menu),
the generator will stop and then start again. The generator will then run for
approximately 30-60 seconds before shutting off.
•
When using a ME-RC remote, there is a two-minute delay before the
AGS attempts to start the generator if the voltage to the AGS module falls to
the
05 Start Volts
setting. There is no delay if the AGS attempts to start the
generator when the temperature around the remote AGS temp sensor rises
to the
04 Start Temp F
setting.
• Several autostart/autostop settings can be active at once. However,
once an autostart condition becomes active, all other autostart conditions
are ignored until the speci
fi
c condition that caused the generator to start is
satis
fi
ed by its autostop condition. Once the generator has completed this
autostart/autostop cycle, the AGS immediately begins to monitor for any
active autostart/autostop settings again.

Troubleshooting the AGS with the ME-RC
This section assists you in using your ME-RC to identify a fault, and to resolve
an abnormal operational condition detected within your AGS system.
7.8.1 AGS Fault Message Screens for the ME-RC Remote
When an AGS fault is detected, the remote’s FAULT LED comes on (blinks),
and the AGS fault status is displayed on the top line of the LCD screen
(alternates with the inverter/charger status). Figure 7-4 is an example of
how fault messages appear on the ME-RC remote. Use the remote’s LCD
screen and the information in this section to identify and correct the issue.
