Control Panel/Start-up/Testing
Cold Smart Start
The Cold Smart Start feature can be enabled in the EDIT
menu. When enabled, the generator will monitor ambient
temperature and adjust its warm-up delay based on
temperature. If the ambient temperature conditions are
below 50 ºF (10 °C) upon startup in AUTO mode, the
generator will warm up for 30 seconds allowing the
engine to warm before the load is applied. If the
temperature is at or above 50 ºF (10 °C), the generator
will startup with the normal warm-up delay of six
seconds.
Setting The Exercise Timer
This generator is equipped with a configurable exercise
timer. There are two settings for the exercise timer.
•
Day/Time: Once set, the generator will start and
exercise for the period defined, on the day of the
week and at the time of day specified. During this
exercise period, the unit runs for approximately five
minutes and then shuts down.
•
Exercise frequency (how often the exercise will
take place): It can be set to WEEKLY, BIWEEKLY or
MONTHLY. If MONTHLY is selected, the day of the
month must be selected from 1-28. The generator
will exercise on that day each month. Transfer of
loads to the generator output does not occur during
the exercise cycle unless utility power is lost.
NOTE: If the installer tests the generator prior to
installation, press the "enter" button to skip setting up the
exercise timer.

NOTE: The exercise feature will operate only when the
generator is placed in the AUTO mode and will not work
unless this procedure is performed. The current date/time
will need to be reset every time the 12 volt battery is
disconnected and then reconnected, and/or when the
fuse is removed.

Before Initial Start-up
NOTE: These units have been run and tested at the
factory prior to being shipped and do not require any type
of break-in.
CAUTION
Engine damage. Verify proper type and quantity of
engine oil prior to starting engine. Failure to do so
could result in engine damage.
NOTE: This unit comes filled with 30 weight organic oil
from the factory. Check the oil level and add the
appropriate viscosity and amount if necessary.
Installation Wizard
See
Figure 7-2.
Upon power-up, the Installation Wizard
immediately appears. It allows the user to input generator
settings.
The Installation Wizard will start every time AC and DC
power is removed and re-applied to the generator.
Interconnect System Self Test Feature
Upon power up, this controller will go through a system
self test which will check for the presence of utility
voltage on the DC circuits. This is done to prevent
damage if the installer mistakenly connects AC utility
power sense wires into the DC terminal block. If utility
voltage is detected, the controller will display a warning
message and lock out the generator, preventing damage
to the controller. Power to the controller must be removed
to clear this warning.
Utility voltage must be turned on and present at the N1
and N2 terminals inside the generator control panel for
this test to be performed and pass.
NOTE: All appropriate panels must be in place during
any operation of the generator. This includes operation
by
a
servicing
technician
troubleshooting procedures.
