The AGS Setup menu contains the following general settings that define the AGS routines.

AGS Port

The MATE uses the AUX output of an FX or FLEXnet DC relay to control the generator. The MATE is connected to this FX either directly or through a HUB.

If a HUB is used:

Use the <INC> and <DEC> soft keys to set the AGS Port value to the HUB FX or FLEXnet DC Port controlling the generator

If no HUB is used and the MATE is directly plugged into an FX, then the AGS Port needs to be set to 0 (zero).

Example:

A MATE is connected to a HUB-10 that has four FXs and three Charge Controllers connected to it. The FXs are plugged into Ports 1 – 4, as labeled on the HUB, and the Charge Controllers are plugged into Ports 5 – 7. Any FX can have its AUX output wired to a relay whose contacts are wired to the starting circuitry of the generator. The AGS Port must be set to the port of the chosen FX.

After setting the AGS Port, press the <DOWN> soft key. The next screen allows you to enable the AGS Mode.
