It in the end, it was unknown, settings were all correct, but after a full 
reboot of the XW and the AGS 
It all works. 

Here's to the ghost in the machine

Hi William

Thanks

I've got the V set points done and it will manually turn on/off the genset via 
the SCP, so that works, but voltstime get below set points, or so it seems

Of course it's 2 hrs each way with bad cell service. 

Just trying to get the most info before I go out there and do the sit there and 
see if it starts. 

Thanks. 

Jay

Jay:

You may THINK you have all the settings right but the SCP is not 
intuitive.  I have a nagging feeling that I have gone through this and 
found some disassociated menu with a setting that needed to be changed.  I 
will peruse the manual and see if I find anything.


I use to think the output was open collector (wet) but I was told it was a 
dry reed relay, so polarity should not be an issue.  I would ohm the 
disconnected leads to ground in the diode mode, using both lead polarities 
to verify.  Although if you have manual start you have already bypassed 
this possibility.


Can you try setting the start voltage a volt above whatever your battery 
voltage is at the moment for testing.


Setup if more trouble than it should be.  I use Gen. Type 2 for two wire 
starting.


Good luck.

William

PS:  Have you checked the menus: AGS/CFG Trigger/Start DCV 30 sec through 
DCV 24 hour?  They come disabled and the auto start will not work unless 
one or more are enabled.  This is unlike the SW which came with the 
triggers enabled by default.  This may be what I was thinking of.

Any ideas?
