I am reading thru my operator supplement regarding the ags system for the onan genset.

The operation and installation manual which is in my owners manual supplement has all the details for the Energy Command 30G. The little picture on the first page shows a Energy Command 30G. My energy Command display says Energy Command 30. After the first paragraph of the instructions there is a highlighted sentence that says "DO NOT USE THE EC-30G FOR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE APPLICATIONS".

Why would I have instructions for a system that is not supposed to be installed in an rv?

I am having some issues setting up the auto system. I have it set to shut down at 14.4 volts after 30 minutes. I cannot get it to continue to run after about 10-15 minutes at 13.4 volts.

I know there are alot of parameters to get the system to operate on auto properly but I think I have them set appropriately. The generator will and does run on manual to bring the batteries to 14.4.

Any thoughts

Thanks
Jim
