SYSTEM SETUP AND OPERATION GUIDE FOR THE SOLAR STIK USAF G-BOSS MEDIUM AND HEAVY HYBRID POWER SYSTEM
PRELIMINARY DRAFT
Solution
Max Gen Run Setting
This should be set to the maximum “run time” that a can be achieved from the fuel reservoir before
it is rendered “empty”. For example, if a generator consumes 0.5 gallons per hour of fuel under
full load, and the fuel reservoir maximum capacity is four (4) Gallons, then the MAX GEN RUN time
should be set to eight (8) hours or less.
Load
Reduce the load to increase the power available to charge the Expander Paks. This will reduce the
time required to charge the Expander Paks to within the programmed Max Gen Run Time limit of 12
hours.
Expander Pak
Ensure all Expander Paks are operating normally (green-flash LED) and that all Inter-Connect Cables
are properly connected and in good condition.
Solar Loading
High heat inside the PRO-Verter reduces the charging voltage and current resulting in the inability to
charge the Expander Paks to the voltage required to stop the generator. Shade the PRO-Verter to
reduce solar loading and keep the air intake filters clean to promote more efficient cooling.
How to Clear AGS Fault History
Go to the TECH: 04 Fault History menu, press the SELECT dial, and then turn the dial until the
04D Clear Faults screen appears. At the 04D Clear Faults screen, press and hold the SELECT
dial until the “5.0 to 0.0 second” screen countdown is finished and the screen displays “HISTORY
CLEARED”.
Note:
After the fault clears and the reason for the fault is determined, be sure to enable the AGS
to autostart. Go to the CTRL: 03 Gen Control menu and select AUTO.
Fault MaxRn
Generator turned off because the SETUP: 04F Max Gen Run Time setting had been met. This fault
can occur when the autostop condition (FAVS F5: Gen Run VDC) exceeded the Max Gen Run Time
setting.
Note:
The Max Gen Run Time menu uses the SETUP: 04B Gen Run Time display to determine
the generator’s runtime. Cooldown and warm-up times are not included in the Gen Run Time
display.
