Configuration of the Xanbus AGS
Load
Full name Enable Inverter Load Start and Stop Triggers
Purpose The "Load" trigger enables or disables the Start on Inverter
Load Current and Stop on Inverter Load Current functionality of the AGS.
This function enables the generator to start and stop based on the current
being drawn on the inverter by the loads. See "Start Load" and "Stop
Load".
Dependencies The "Load" trigger requires the AGS to be in Automatic
mode and needs parameters to be set for both the "Start Load" and
"Stop Load" triggers.
Start Load
Full name Start on Inverter Load Current
Purpose The "Start Load" trigger enables the generator to start at a
specified AC load (current draw) on the inverter. This current draw must be
present for 5 minutes before the generator will start. The generator will
assist the inverter with powering the AC load.
Dependencies The "Start Load" trigger requires the AGS to be in
Automatic mode and the "Load" trigger to be set to ON. It also needs to
have a stopping value set in the "Stop Load" trigger.
Considerations Change this setting if there are certain “peak” times of
power usage or if power demands consistently exceed the output of the
inverter.
If "Load" is set to [Enabled], the generator will start in response to the
"Start Load" setting unless the AGS is in a Quiet Time period.
The inverter load current can be monitored on the System screen.
If "Start Load" is set too high, the AGS may not start the generator in
time to recharge the batteries before the batteries are drained by the AC
load. In addition, if "Start Load" is set too high, the inverter may shut
down due to an overload condition.
If "Start Load" is set too low, the AGS may start the generator too
frequently, wasting fuel in the process.
Value Default
Disabled, Enabled Disabled
IMPORTANT:
This function is intended to protect the batteries from rapid
drain. It is not intended to protect the inverter against overload.
Values Default
10.0 A to 33.0 A (increments of 1A) 10.0 A
