3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and reliable operation of the AGC150. Ensure all power is disconnected before beginning installation.

3.1 Mounting

1. Select a suitable location for mounting the AGC150, ensuring it is protected from excessive moisture, dust, and vibration.
2. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
3. Mount the unit securely using appropriate fasteners through the designated mounting holes.

3.2 Wiring Connections

Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your unit and the labels on the rear panel (Figure 2.2) for precise connections. Below are general guidelines:

• Power Supply: Connect the unit to a stable 12/24V DC power source. Ensure correct polarity.
• Generator Inputs: Connect the generator voltage and current transformer (CT) inputs to the designated terminals. Pay close attention to phase rotation and CT polarity.
• Mains Inputs: If applicable, connect the mains voltage and CT inputs.
• Digital Inputs: Connect various sensors and control signals (e.g., remote start/stop, emergency stop, oil pressure, water temperature) to the digital input terminals.
• Relay Outputs: Connect the control outputs (e.g., fuel solenoid, starter motor, breaker control) to the appropriate relays.
• Communication: Connect Ethernet or CAN-Bus cables for network integration if required.

WARNING: High voltage is present. All wiring should be performed by qualified personnel only. Disconnect all power sources before making any connections.

4. Operating Instructions

Once installed and wired correctly, the AGC150 is ready for operation.

4.1 Powering On/Off

• To power on the unit, press the Power button (usually indicated by a circle with a vertical line). The display will illuminate.
• To power off, press and hold the Power button until the unit shuts down.

4.2 Navigating the Menu

• Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to scroll through menu options.
• Use the Left and Right arrow buttons to navigate between screens or adjust values.
• Press the OK button to select an option or confirm a setting.
• Press the Return button (often an arrow curving left) to go back to the previous screen or exit a menu.

4.3 Auto Start/Stop Operation

The AGC150 is designed for automatic generator control. Once configured, it will automatically start the generator based on predefined conditions (e.g., mains failure, low battery voltage) and stop it when conditions are met (e.g., mains restored, load shed).

• Ensure all auto-start parameters are correctly set in the configuration menu.
• Monitor the display for current operational status and any active alarms.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable performance of your AGC150 unit.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the unit's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Connections: Annually inspect all wiring connections for tightness and signs of corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or damage.
• Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website for available firmware updates. Updates can provide new features or improve performance.
• Environmental Check: Ensure the operating environment remains within specified temperature and humidity ranges.
