Re: O'Reilly batteries Reply #63 – May 05, 2020, 12:15:57 am Rv'ers are notoriously frugal. Really? In my enlightened self interest for maximizing my profit for the company I learned not to cut corners refitting nice coaches for resale.That way I could walk a customer over from a new coach to a late model used with the same tires, batteries and furniture.alot easier switch. Different idea versus something that just works. If I were to sell ours it would have the full auto start with temp control added in.Just like the newer coaches the buyer might have already looked at.Way easier to buy a coach already done for most buyers.

Re: O'Reilly batteries Reply #64 – May 05, 2020, 10:10:15 am Bob can you get a temperature control for the generator. In the cold I cycle the start so the glow plugs will be on later. Quote Selected
Re: O'Reilly batteries Reply #65 – May 05, 2020, 10:53:46 am Temp control? For the auto start? Quote Selected

Re: O'Reilly batteries Reply #67 – May 05, 2020, 11:54:01 am Yes you can. Magnum makes a stand alone ME-AGS and a much more comprehensive unit that is designed to interface with the ME-ARC remote control panel.The N(networked) version I know comes with a 60' remote thermostat to install in the coach.My understanding is that if you change to a 10 button ac control panel and change the roof air conditioners circuit boards that the auto gen start can work from both battery state of charge and either hot or cold temps at any of the systems sensors.Quite comprehensive with gen exercise timing, gen run hours, auto gen retries....System can have a WiFi capable system report added to the Magnum inverter/controlIf you do not have a magnum system the stand along has some if not all of the networked ones features.

If you're asking whether the Magnum AGS system will automatically change the generator glow plug warmup time based on temperature....longer pre-heat in colder weather, etc....no, the pre-heat is user selectable but not determined by temperature. You can manually change the setting in the winter or summer though. It will, however, start the generator to run your AC units based on the air temperature inside the coach as Caflashbob described.

Re: O'Reilly batteries Reply #69 – May 05, 2020, 12:32:26 pm Yes not auto temp adjustable. I think the later gens in a box may have that adjustment in their system?The auto gen start can retry up to 4 times. I think the gen preheat time is adjustable in the ME-ARC menu.Default is 25 seconds but is adjustable up to 120? seconds I am not aware of any damage for slightly long glow plug actuation so maybe turn the time up to what is needed for winter start?Good question Quote Selected
Re: O'Reilly batteries Reply #70 – May 05, 2020, 01:21:55 pm My rig came with a Magnum inverter which I installed but I haven't hooked up the auto gen start. I haven't used the auto gen start since I got the rig home. I have only used the push button to start it and in the cold I wait 9 seconds push the button and then push it again and it starts fine. I will look into changing the start time to 20 seconds in the winter. That would be a greatoption. The Onan that I had before would time the glow plugs according to temp. Quote Selected
