AGS State-of-Charge (SOC) Start
With a FLEXnet DC, a generator can be started or stopped based on the battery state-of-charge (SOC)
rather than voltage. However, this feature may become less accurate if the system routinely cycles
without obtaining a full charge for long periods of time.
The Enable Full Charge set point overrides the Stop SOC function by establishing a time period from 1 to
30 days when the batteries will be charged to 100% regardless of the SOC value.
When the FLEXnet DC days since parms met (see page 32) exceeds this 1 to 30 day user-determined time,
the Stop SOC is ignored. The generator will run until the FLEXnet DC's charge parameters are met.
Setting this value to zero (0) days will disable the function. (No full charge will occur).
To enable the MATE3 to start the generator based on the battery SOC:
1. Access the MATE menu as shown in Figure 113.
2. Use the control wheel to select the Advanced Generator Start menu option.
Press the button in the center of the control wheel to accept the selection.
3. Use the control wheel to highlight State of Charge Start.
Press the button in the center of the control wheel to select the menu item.
4. Use the control wheel to select N for No (disabled) or Y for Yes (enabled).
5. Press the TOP navigation key to return to the Main Menu screen.
