Alpha Group OutBack Power MATE3 Owner's Manual page 118

In an example of a common configuration:
Ports 1-4 are for the inverters.
Ports 5-7 are for the charge controllers.
~ It will be necessary to choose which device is going to control the generator (1, 2, 3, or 4) and set
that number as the AGS port in that menu.
 Fault Time is the period the generator is given to connect to the inverter system after the AUX output
has been activated. If the generator fails to connect and provide AC current during this time, the
MATE3 displays an AGS Fault message on the Gen screen. A fault is added to the event log and the
event LED will illuminate. This set point can be anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes.
 Warmup Time for the generator (in minutes). Before charging begins, the Warmup Time allows the
user to adjust the number of minutes the generator will be allowed to run with no load. This time can
be from 0 to 30 minutes, but should follow the generator manufacturer's recommendations.
 Cool Down Time for the generator (in minutes). After charging has been disabled, the Cool Down
Time set point allows the user to adjust the number of minutes the generator will run with no load
before being shut off. This time can be from 0 to 30 minutes, but should follow the generator
manufacturer's recommendations.
 DC Gen Set identifies if a DC generator is used, instead of an AC generator. The AGS will stop the
generator when the Stop Voltage setting is reached instead of when the float voltage set point or
Silent mode is reached. The Stop SOC % setting (see page 120) can also be used to stop a DC
generator.
 Stop Voltage level. This voltage setting will terminate a voltage start command when the battery
voltage remains above it for 15 minutes. This setting only takes effect when DC Gen Set is selected.

IMPORTANT:
Cool Down and Warm-up times are disabled when a DC generator is used.
IMPORTANT:
If an AC generator is being used, this menu item must be set to NO.
