There is a glitch in the 24hr, 2hr & 2 min timer clocks used for AGS in
V4.0x series Mates. This may be your issue. They are unreliable and seem
to work fine until next time. Apparently the newest software V4.6 overcomes
this. I have resorted to putting systems back on to Genalert as a tempo
Daryl,
Magnum has a stand alone AGS that may do what you want. Another
possibility is the Morningstar relay driver. You can program multiple
channels of the Morningstar relay driver to start at different voltage
levels and time delays, similar to the SW or Outback Mate voltage start

Daryl:
I believe the Mate is the best option to start a generator and exercise
control over generator battery charging. Outboard units have proven to be
less intelligent about charging functions. I recommend you work out your
problems with the Outback and use the Mate.
What kind of problem
I still haven't found a substitute for the venerable SW series inverters from
Trace/ Xantrex/ Schneider?.
Even after the Outback inverters came out, I still used the SWs for autostart
projects. Otherwise it was just too much hassle.
90% of my generator projects,though, I talked the customer into
Atkinson Electronics was building some control units which I have found to
be OK. I believe AEE Solar stocks these units...maybe SunWize & others, too.
Model "GCSM mini" would not have the end to end decision making ability that
would replace a Mate type setup, but model GCSM would cover most of th
