Magnum Energy ME-PT1 Instruction Sheet

ME-PT1 Instruction Sheet
Introduction
The ME-PT1 (Pigtail one-wire) adapter is designed to be connected to the
Magnum Energy Auto Generator Start (AGS) controller to allow the connected
generator to be started when an external +12 volt DC supply is applied. This
is useful in applications where there is a requirement to conveniently and au-
tomatically turn the generator on/off externally through a manually controlled
switch or from an automatically controlled switching device.
This adapter provides one pigtail wire and when +12 volts is supplied to this
pigtail wire, causes the Magnum Auto Generator Start controller to start and
run the connected generator.
Info: The high temperature start feature on the ME-AGS is not avail-
able when using the ME-PT1. However, the low battery voltage start
feature is still available.

The following pertains to the ME-PT1 when connected to the ME-AGS.

tion, setup and operation of the ME-AGS-N; and the ME-RC Operation
Manual (64-0003) on information to select/adjust settings.
