24VDC PRO-Verter 5000-120 AGS Operator Manual
Resolving AGS Operational Statuses
No Comm
The “No Comm” status suggests that some wiring connections may be incorrect.
Solution
1. Ensure the GENERATOR STATUS READY LED is
GREEN
is on to indicate that the PRO-Verter
Generator autostart controller is getting power.
2. Ensure the correct communications cables are connected.
3. Call Solar Stik Technical Support.
Resolving AGS Faults Using the LCD User Interface
If an AGS fault occurs, use the PRO-Verter LCD user interface and the information in this section to
resolve the issue.
Note:
PRO-Verters in a Solar Stik Hybrid Power System are programmed to start and stop
generators based on DC voltage.
The faults highlighted in this section in
orange
are the only
ones that could appear in a PRO-Verter programmed to work in a Solar Stik HPS .
Fault Gen Run
Symptoms:
Generator is overloading and shutting down; the generator successfully started and
ran for more than two (2) minutes, but the generator unexpectedly stopped before the active AGS
autostop condition was finished.
This fault occurs when the generator is overloading as a result of (1) unauthorized equipment being
used on the platform and/or (2) surge loads are present.
Note:
The AGS controller determines the generator is running by monitoring the Gen Run sense
voltage/signal. When this Gen Run sense voltage/signal is no longer available, the AGS thinks
the generator AC output is off or has stopped.
Note:
Fault Gen Run detection is not active if the generator is manually started at the generator.
Solution
Ensure proper electrical connections between the PRO-Verter and the generator.
Disconnect the generator from the System and start it using the generator native controls.
If the generator starts, reconnect it to the System. Reduce the load and/or adjust the AC INPUT
(FAVS F3) to prevent the fault from recurring
If the generator does not start, check the generator for fault codes, adequate fuel and refer to the
generator Operator and Maintenance Manual.
