Configuration of the Xanbus AGS

Start DCV 2 hr

Full name Starting Battery Voltage—2 hours

Purpose The "Start DCV 2 hr" trigger enables the AGS to start the generator whenever the battery voltage reaches or drops below a pre-set voltage for longer than 2 hours.

Dependencies The "Start DCV 2 hr" trigger requires the AGS to be in Automatic mode and needs the "Stop Float" or "Stop Absorb" trigger be enabled or a parameter to be set for the "Stop V" trigger.

Start DCV 24 hr

Full name Starting Battery Voltage—24 hours

Purpose The "Start DCV 24 hr" trigger enables the AGS to start the generator whenever the battery voltage reaches or drops below a pre-set voltage for longer than 24 hours.

Dependencies The "Start DCV 24 hr" trigger requires the AGS to be in Automatic mode and needs the "Stop Absorb" or "Stop Float" trigger be enabled or a parameter to be set for the "Stop V" trigger.

Values

Default

 

 

Disabled, 4.0 V to 60.0 V

Disabled

 

 

Considerations If the voltage trigger is set too high, the generator will start more frequently than is convenient.

If the voltage trigger is set too low, the batteries may be damaged by repeated cycles of excessive discharge. The generator running time necessary to charge the batteries may exceed "Max Run Time" and use too much fuel in the process.

Battery Voltage Information Battery voltage can be monitored from the System screen or the inverter/charger menu.

If "Stop Float" or "Stop Absorb" has been enabled, the generator will stop when the Float or Absorption stages of the battery charging have begun.

If the "Stop V" is used, the generator will stop when the battery voltage reaches the parameter set in this trigger, regardless of whether the batteries are charged.
