Auxiliary Output (AUX Modes)
The Auxiliary Output controls the output and functionality of the Auxiliary (AUX) output. The inverter’s
AUX terminals provide a 12 Vdc output that can deliver up to 0.7 Adc to control external loads. Typical
loads include signaling a generator to start, sending a fault alarm signal, or running a small fan to cool the
inverter. See the inverter Installation Manual for more information on hooking up the AUX terminals. This
menu controls the output and functionality of the AUX output.
Figure 98 Auxiliary Output
Auxiliary modes include the following:

Remote
allows the AUX output to be enabled in response to manual or automatic commands external to the
inverter, such as the MATE3’s AGS function. It is strongly recommended to select
Remote
when the AUX output
is controlled by AGS or similar external functions. This will prevent software conflicts. This menu has no
adjustable settings.

Load Shed
performs load management. The AUX output activates when DC (battery) voltage drops below a
certain level. The AUX output controls a larger relay, which turns non-critical loads on or off to conserve
battery power.
This option has a settable DC voltage parameter.
Figure 99 Load Shed
Set Point:
 Enable Voltage – Sets the low-voltage level at which
the Load Shed function turns on the AUX output.
It remains on for 3 minutes.
Set Points:

Status – The AUX output status is controlled by the
<Off>, <Auto>, and <On> soft keys.
~ <On> activates the AUX output immediately. It will remain
continuously active until <Off> is selected. If this soft key is
pressed, the screen will display
Manual On .
~ <Auto> sets the AUX to be triggered by automatic criteria,
according to the option selected in Aux Mode. If this soft key
is pressed, the screen will display
Auto On or Auto Off .
~ <Off> disables the AUX output and prevents any of the
inverter’s automatic AUX options from working. Note that
even if the AUX output is set to Off , it may still be triggered by
an external option not based in the inverter, such as AGS.
(See page 3105.) If this soft key is pressed, the screen will
display Manual Off .

Aux Mode – Selects one of nine options with automatic criteria.
(These options are described briefly in the next section and in
greater detail in the inverter Operator’s Manual.)
Aux Modes:

Remote

Load Shed
 Gen Alert
 Fault
 Vent Fan
 Cool Fan
 Divert DC
