865-1060, AGS-Auto Generator Start for Schneider Electric XW or SW inverters

Part Number: 865-1060
Manufacturer: Schneider Electric
PDF-Datasheet: Download Here

The Schneider Electric Automatic Generator Start (AGS) automatically activates a generator to provide a Conext™ XW or Conext SW inverter/charger with the power needed to recharge a depleted battery bank or provide additional power for heavy loads. The AGS’s generator management intelligence continuously monitors battery voltage, state of charge, and inverter charge modes. It uses this data to start and stop the generator when the battery needs charging. The AGS also starts the generator to assist the system’s inverter/charger(s) when output power demands are high.

The AGS is customizable. The user defines whether the generator should be activated by low-battery voltage, state of charge, thermostat operation, or load on the inverter(s). A quiet-time setting prevents the generator from starting at
inconvenient times. LED lights display the status, while all user-defined settings are programmed through the Conext XW System Control Panel (Conext XW SCP).
