Re: [RE-wrenches] Outback AGS & eq

[dan]

Seems I was once told that (Depending on software revision), successful Switching from Manual to Auto depended on whether or not the system itself called for a start to begin with i.e. whether the start criteria was met in either AGS or a charge mode when the genny was started in manual. My problem was the customer just wanted to run the genset periodically to top off the batteries.. He would start the genny in manual (from the mate 2), and as soon as he kicked it into auto, the genny would shut down. As i recall, we found the smoking gun under timers.. If a clock was still running (Or stopped short) you could switch to auto and it would run out the clock. But if the timers were satisfied, AGS would shut down the genny.

Good Luck

Apparently so, but this operation is not supported. It supposedly works.

Hi Jay & William,

Just so I understand, you can put the mate into auto right after the eq is enabled (not after eq has finished), and it will manage the generator?  Is that right?

Thanks

Friends:

 

I understood the generator had to be started and stopped manually.  I have a client who was using the sequence below to stop the generator automatically.  To have the generator stop automatically has a convenience factor, but I do like my clients to verify the cycle has accomplished the prescribed regimen, and walking away from the process does not accomplish that. 

 

I spoke with Outback regarding the procedure of engaging the auto mode prior to completion of the EQ and the reply was that the system had not been engineered to operate this way so the results could not be guaranteed.

Hi Mac

 

I don't think there is a global eq function. 

Eq continues to be manual on inverters. 

 

Gen to manual on

Initiate EQ 

Gen to auto

Done
