System Control Panel
Compare this Control Panel illustration with your generator to familiarize yourself with the location of these important controls:
B
A - Set Exercise Switch — Used to set the exercise
cycle start time. Exercise cycle only occurs in
AUTO mode.
B - Circuit Breaker — Protects the generator from shorts
and other over-current conditions. Must be ON to
supply power to the Automatic Transfer Switch.
C - 15 Amp Fuse — Protects the generator DC control
circuits. If the fuse has 'blown' (melted open) or was
removed, the engine cannot crank or start. Replace the
fuse using only an identical ATO 15A fuse.
D - System Switch — This two-position switch is the
most important control on the system and is used as
follows:
• "AUTO" position is the normal operating position.
If a utility power outage is sensed, the system will
start the generator. When utility power is restored,

AUTO lets the engine stabilize internal temperatures,
shuts off the generator, and waits for the next utility
power outage.
• "OFF" position turns off running generator, prevents
unit from starting and resets any detected faults.
E - Manual Over-Ride — With system switch in AUTO
position, push the manual over-ride button for six
seconds to start the generator. To turn off the generator,
push and hold the manual over-ride button until
engine stops.
F - Digital Display — Displays the total number of
hours the generator has been running and fault
codes. Used to schedule maintenance tasks and for
troubleshooting operational problems with the residential
generator. All fault conditions are described in Fault
Detection System.
