Operation
34 900-0198-01-00 Rev A
 Remote activates the AUX when the inverter receives an external command from the system display or a similar
device. To prevent software conflicts, Remote should be selected when external functions such as AGS (see
below) are used.
 This function does not have settable parameters.
The AUX functions are summarized in Table 4.

System Display-Based Functions (AGS)
A system display such as the OutBack MATE3 can provide functions not available in the inverter. The most
commonly used function is Advanced Generator Start, or AGS. It is summarized here to provide a better
idea of overall system capabilities.
As noted under
Gen Alert
, the system is capable of starting a generator.
Gen Alert
simply starts and stops
the generator based on battery voltage. For more advanced control, AGS utilizes the entire three-stage
charging cycle. It can start according to battery voltage, inverter load, time of day, and other criteria. AGS
has a quiet time application which restricts the generator from starting at inconvenient times.
Additional functions aside from AGS are also available.
The system display must be present for AGS and similar functions to operate. If a function is set up (or
already in operation) but the system display is removed, that function will not operate.
