Conext AGS: Solar Power System Automatic Generator Start

Automatically start and stop a generator to meet power needs

The Conext™ Automatic Generator Start (AGS) can automatically activate or stop a generator in response to changing power requirements. Excellent addition to an off-grid or backup power system, the AGS seamlessly connects to the Xanbus network and shares status information with all other devices on the network. It can monitor a set of system user-programmable parameters such as battery voltage, state of charge or grid power and can activate the generator in response to any changes. The Conext™ AGS can also be configured remotely using the Conext™ System Control Panel (SCP) or Insight energy management system to engage a generator and can assist an inverter/charger when output power demands are high.
