When the battery falls below your established voltage set point for a set amount of time, the generator will start and recharge the batteries. For voltage-based start and stops, go to the AGS screens and press VOLT START:

•24 hr, 2hr, and 2 min time periods are available

•Choose a time period the battery voltage can fall below your established set point

AC load demands can also start the generator. From the AGS screens in the ADVANCED menu, choose LOAD START:

•load start—determine the load in kilowatts that, when exceeded, will start the generator

•load start delay—the amount of time the loads must exceed the load start current setting (kw)

•load stop—the kilowatt load must fall below this value to shut the generator off

•load stop delay—amount of time load must be below load start stop before generator shuts off

For those times you simply want the generator to run, go to the MUST RUN screens in the ADVANCED menu:

• Adjust the weekday and weekend start and stop times

For further generator adjustments, go to the GEN screens in the ADVANCED menu:

•ac input connect delay—time period FX delays before accepting a generator-supplied AC source

•ac2/gen lower limit—minimum generator-supplied AC voltage the FX will connect to

•ac2/gen upper limit—maximum generator-supplied AC voltage the FX will connect to

•ac1/gen input limit—maximum amperage FX will accept from a generator before backing off of a charger (if the limit is still exceeded, the error LED displays a warning)

•ac1/gen transfer delay—time FX remains connected to generator after input voltage falls below the ac2/gen lower limit

How to Stack FX Series

Determine the best stacking method—1-2 PH Master, Classic Slave, OutBack Series/Parallel— and go to the STACK screens in the ADVANCED menu.

•Choose the stacking method’s appropriate screen

•Using the soft keys and screen commands, assign the Master and Slave FX Series Inverter/ Chargers
