Gen Alert
can be used as a limited functionality controller for an AC generator with a remote start feature. It can
start and stop the generator based on DC (battery) voltage levels.
This function has settable DC voltage and time parameters.
NOTE: This function does not have the same advantages as the Advanced Generator Start (AGS) function
which is controlled directly by the MATE3. (See page 115.)
Figure 102 Gen Alert
Fault
activates the AUX output when the inverter shuts down due to an error condition (see page 43). It can
operate a light or alarm to show that the inverter has failed. This function has no settable parameters.
Vent Fan
activates the AUX output in response to high DC (battery) voltage. It can operate a small fan to
ventilate the battery compartment to eliminate gases that result from battery charging.
This function has settable DC voltage and time parameters.
Figure 103 Vent Fan
Cool Fan
activates the AUX output when the inverter reaches a high internal temperature. It is intended to
operate a small external fan for additional cooling. This includes sealed inverter models which come with a
Turbo fan.
This function has no settable parameters.
Divert DC
activates the AUX output to divert excess energy to a DC load, in response to high DC (battery)
voltage. The AUX output controls a larger relay, which allows current to flow to a dedicated DC load
when energized.
This function has settable DC voltage and time parameters.

Set Points
:
Enable Voltage
– Sets the high-voltage level at which the
Divert DC
function activates the AUX output. It remains
active as long as the voltage remains above this set point.
OFF Delay
– Prevents the AUX output from activating again
for a certain amount of time, even if the voltage rises above
the
Enable Voltage
set point again. This prevents nuisance
cycling of the
Divert DC
function.
Set Points
:
Enable Voltage
– Sets the high-voltage level at which
the function activates the AUX output. It remains active
for one minute.
OFF Period
– Sets the delay time before the function
activates the AUX output again.
Set Points
:
ON: Voltage
– Sets the low-voltage level at which the
Gen Alert
function activates the AUX output.
Delay
– Sets the delay time after the
ON: Voltage
setting is
reached before the AUX output is activated.
OFF: Voltage
– Sets the high-voltage level at which the
Gen Alert
function deactivates the AUX output.
Delay
– Sets the delay time after the
OFF: Voltage
setting is
reached before the AUX output is deactivated.
