Configuration of the Xanbus AGS
Start DCV 30 sec
Full Name Starting Battery Voltage—30 seconds
Purpose The "Start DCV 30 sec" trigger enables the AGS to start the
generator whenever the battery voltage reaches or drops below a pre-set
voltage for longer than 30 seconds.
The AGS will stop the generator when the stop trigger is provided
("Stop V", "Stop Absorb", or "Stop Float").
Dependencies The "Start DCV 30 sec" 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.
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.
If using the Xanbus Low Batt Cut Out voltage setting to trigger a start-on-
voltage setting on the AGS, be sure to set the AGS voltage trigger higher
than the Xanbus Low Batt Cut out voltage. Otherwise the inverter output
turns off and then back on when the generator auto-starts.
If using an automatic generator starting system with the start trigger set to
the same voltage as the LBCO voltage, do not set the LBCO Delay for less
than the amount of time it takes the generator to start and connect.
Otherwise, inverter output turns off and then back on when the generator
auto-starts.
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.
