The AGS has 14 preset generator configurations, or Gen Types. After installing the unit,

select one of these Gen Types from the AGS Config menu on the System Control Panel

(SCP).

Important Put the AGS in Standby BEFORE changing the Gen Type. See G – Configuring

the Automatic Generator Start.

B+ Generator Run Signal

Connecting the B+ Gen Run signal is optional. It the B+ is not connected, it may be neces-

sary to adjust the Gen Run Signal hold time parameter on the AGS.

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

Consult the generator manufacturer to ensure that GenType settings and connections are compatible with your

generator. Damage to the generator can result from selecting an incorrect Gen Type and following the connection

diagram for an incorrect Gen Type when Connecting the Conext AGS to the generator.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in damage to equipment.

NOTICE

Connecting the Generator

IGNITION AND FIRE HAZARD

• This equipment is not ignition protected. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install this product in locations that

require ignition-protected equipment. This includes any confined space containing vented batteries, or flammable

chemicals such as, natural gas (NG), liquid petroleum gas (LPG) or gasoline (Benzine/Petrol).

• Do not install in a confined space with machinery powered by flammable chemicals, or storage tanks, fittings, or

other connections between components of fuel or flammable chemical systems.

• Do not install near readily flammable materials such as cloth, paper, straw, or plastic sheeting. Keep flammable

materials a minimum distance of 600 cm (24 in.) from the top surface and 30 cm (12 in.) from either side surface

and the front.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

Connections to the generator, thermostats, and external ON/OFF switches are made using

a wiring harness that plugs into the 20-contact connector.

The wires on the wiring harness can be extended to meet installation requirements. When

extending the wire harness, ensure that the extension wires are the same color as the

wires on the harness.

Install the wiring harness

1. Connect each wire on the harness to its intended wire or contact on the generator,

thermostats, or external switches. Tape, or otherwise secure, the unused wires to ensure

they do not make unintended connections.

2. Plug the harness into the connector on the bottom panel of the AGS.

Required Wire Size

• 0 to 30 feet (9m): 18 AWG (1.31 mm²)

• Over 30 feet (9m): 16 AWG (0.823 mm²)
