The AGC 150 Generator controller has four running modes, and a test mode. To configure
the running mode push the Shortcut

Power set points > Test. To run the test push the Shortcut
button and select Start Test.
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| AUTO | The controller automatically starts and stops (and connects and disconnects) the genset. The operator cannot start a sequence manually. The controllers use the power management configuration to automatically select the power management action. |
| SEMI-AUTO | The controller cannot automatically start, stop, connect and disconnect the genset. The operator or an external signal can start these sequences. The controller automatically synchronises before closing a breaker, and automatically de-loads before opening a breaker. |
| MANUAL | The operator can use the digital increase/decrease inputs (if they are configured) and the Start and Stop buttons. When the genset starts in manual mode, it starts without subsequent regulation. |
| BLOCK | The controller cannot start a sequence. Select the block mode when you do maintenance work on the genset. |
| Test | The test sequence starts when you select the test mode. |
Note: The genset shuts down if you select the block mode while the genset is
operating.
