[RE-wrenches] Controlling a Generator without an inverter

[Maverick Brown]

William,

You might also try Magnum ME-AGS-S, http://magnumenergy.com/auto-generator-start-stand-alone-me-ags-s/ <http://magnumenergy.com/auto-generator-start-stand-alone-me-ags-s/>

It has a start voltage and a run time. Not sure if it has an Absorb end mode other than the run time.

Thank you,

Maverick

We have a Midnite Classic, but in reviewing the manual it is not clear if the unit can be programmed to control a generator sensibly.  I have a call into Midnite and am awaiting a reply.

I just can’t remember if it is possible to take advantage of all of the AGS features such as multiple start conditions and the absorption timers with a Mate and an FM60.
