Cummins Inc.’s latest RV market innovation debuted at America’s Largest RV Show in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
The company’s EC-AGS+ wireless control system for Onan diesel and gas generator sets enables owners to control their generators utilizing an app on their mobile devices. The wireless control enables automatic, manual or voice activation to start the generator set, receives maintenance reminders within Bluetooth range and allows for climate monitoring.
“The key feature of the EC-AGS+ is the automatic generator start function,” said Karl Wilson, North American sales director for Cummins. “Once enabled, the generator will start up when the batteries need to be charged, and if the temperature gets too warm so the air conditioner needs to start.”
Wilson said the EC-AGS+ contains one wireless temperature sender but can work with up to three. Wireless temperature senders can be placed anywhere in the coach to monitor different rooms. The control has a learning capability that will start the generator up before programmed quiet hours to make sure the batteries are fully charged for the night.
The controller provides access to maintenance and exercise reminders and full-text descriptions for generator fault codes. Alerts can be sent to a phone via Bluetooth, and past events/fault codes are available for troubleshooting. RV information such as coach temperature, battery level and generator hours are also available in the app.
Cummins said the EC-AGS+ pairs with all Onan generators except the Onan QD3200.
