Must Run

Why you might want it: In time, a user can determine patterns in energy usage and demands on batteries. Must Run times the generator usage to the heaviest user demands during a day, thus avoiding depleting the batteries or requiring a long recharging period. This might happen in the mornings or early evenings when a family’s power demand is higher.

Must Run Time is a daily time period when the MATE commands the generator to run. Must Run Times can be set individually for weekdays and weekends and consist of a must run start time and a must Run stop time. Setting must run start and stop times to the same time disables the Must Run function. To go to the Must Run screens, press the <Must Run> soft key on the ADV/MATE/AGS/P2 screen.
