7.8.2 Resolving Operational Statuses
The following operational statuses can display on your remote control, and
some may indicate an abnormal condition. Use the info below to resolve.
• No
Comm
– This is a normal status if there is no AGS installed. If an
AGS is installed, use the information below to determine the remedy.
Remedy:
If an AGS is installed, then follow these steps:
1. Ensure the green READY indicator on the AGS module is on
(blinking or solid) to indicate the AGS is getting power.
2. Ensure the communications cable is connected from the inverter’s
Network port to the AGS’s NETWORK port.
3. Ensure you have the correct communications cable.
• AC
In
– A normal status when the input to the inverter/charger is
connected to an AC source such as utility/grid power, or to an alternate
generator that may not be controlled by the AGS.
Remedy:
The
AC In
status prevents the AGS from autostarting. To
enable the AGS to autostart the generator, remove any AC power
connected to the input of the inverter/charger.
• Lockout
– This status indicates the AGS has been con
fi
gured to comply
with RVIA requirements (for use in an RV).
Lockout
displays whenever the
generator is started/stopped for any condition outside the control of the
AGS. To clear or disable this status, refer to the remedies below.
Remedy:
To clear a
Lockout
status: Go to the
AGS: 01 AGS Control
menu (the current setting should be
AGS = OFF
), then press the
SELECT knob to re-enter the “
OFF
” selection. Once you re-select
the
OFF
setting, the
Lockout
status clears (now should read “
OFF
”).
You must re-enable the AGS for autostart operation by changing the
AGS control from
AGS = OFF
to
AGS = Enable
, or
AGS = Enable w/
QT
(under the
AGS: 01 AGS Control
menu).
Remedy:
To disable the
Lockout
feature: If the AGS is not used
in an RV installation (or you do not need to comply with RVIA
requirements), you can disable the Lockout feature. Under the
AGS:
08 AGS TECH
menu, access the
AGS Mode
setting and change it
from
RV
to
Other
(
AGS Mode = Other
).
7.8.3 Resolving Fault Statuses
For these faults, refer to the remedy that follows.
• Fault
Temp
– The generator failed to autostart and run per the
04 Start
Temp F
menu’s start parameters.
• Fault
Test
– The generator failed to start and run after pressing the red
TEST pushbutton on the AGS module.
• Fault
VDC
– The generator failed to autostart and run per the
05 Start
Volts
menu’s start parameters.
Remedy:
Fault message may display on the remote control if:
A. The AGS attempts to start the generator four times, but the gen
failed to start and run per the speci
fi
c autostart parameters; or,
B.
The generator started, but did not provide the correct gen run
sense signal to the AGS module. For either scenario, refer to the
AGS Owner’s Manual
to troubleshoot.
