If switched 12V isn't readily available from the generator as configured,
couldn't you add a relay with 120 or 240 volt coil across the generator
outputs, whose contacts (or solid state outputs) would switch 12V battery
power as a signal line to the AGS? I realize it's more stuff to
wire in but that should always work as a last resort.<br><br>
