AGS Functional Tests
After all electrical connections
to the AGS, batteries, and generator
have been completed (and prior to connecting the 8-pin green
terminal block into the AGS controller), perform the following tests
to verify that the AGS system is functioning correctly and the wiring
from the AGS to the generator is correct.
If the AGS fails either test, or the STATUS indicator turns red
(indicating a fault), refer to the Troubleshooting section.
3.3.1 Power-Up
Test
1. Ensure the AGS remote switch is set to OFF (center position)
and connected to the controller by the communications cable.
2. Before re-connecting the 8-pin terminal block to the AGS, use a
multimeter to verify the correct polarity and to ensure that the
voltage to Terminals 3 (+) and 4 (–) is correct according to the
position of the DC input jumper (refer to
Figure 3-2).
3. Plug the 8-pin terminal block into the controller, and then verify
that the AGS’s green READY indicator comes on (solid) and the
STATUS indicator fl ashes green once.
Info: The READY indicator fl ashes when the AGS controller is
powered and the remote switch is not connected to the AGS.
3.3.2 Generator Wiring Test
This start/stop test is used to confi rm that all wiring from the
generator to the AGS controller is correct and that the GEN TYPE
setting is appropriately confi gured for your generator type.
To conduct the start/stop test:
1. a) Press and release the AGS’s red TEST switch (Figure 4-1); or,
b) Set the remote switch to the TEST position (Figure 4-2).
2. After the TEST button/switch is activated, the AGS initiates an
automatic generator start/stop sequence.
3. The
STATUS indicator on the controller (and on remote switch)
begins to fl ash green and the generator should start.
4. While the generator is running, view the STATUS indicator and
ensure it turns solid green.
5. The generator should run for approximately 30 seconds before
automatically turning off.
Wait at least 5 minutes to ensure the generator remains off and the
AGS does not attempt another start. If this test passes, then activate
the AGS system by setting the remote switch to ENABLE.
If the STATUS indicator shows a fault condition (LED is solid red),
set the remote switch to OFF and then back to the ENABLE or TEST
position. If problem persists, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
Info: The AGS attempts to start the generator 4 times. If
after 4 attempts the generator fails to start, the STATUS LED
turns red—indicating a fault.
