7.3 — Menu Navigation
Feature
The system returns to the Home screen if the control pad is not used for five minutes. The screen normally
displays a Status message, such as Ready to Run (Auto mode) or Switched to OFF (Off mode), and the
total Hours of Protection. If an active alarm/warning condition occurs, the associated Alarm/Warning mes-
HOME Screen
sage is displayed. To clear the Alarm/Warning message, press OFF on the control pad followed by ENTER.
In the event of multiple Alarms/Warnings, the next message is then displayed. The highest priority alarm is
always displayed first.
Enables the operator to navigate the software using UP ARROW, DOWN ARROW, ENTER and ESCAPE.
The Main Menu can be accessed from any sub menu by consecutively pressing ESCAPE. Each time
MAIN MENU
ESCAPE is pressed, the preceding menu is displayed. The Main Menu is reached when the System,
Date/Time, Battery, and Sub Menus are displayed.
ESCAPE
Used to abort a routine or back up to the preceding menu.
ENTER
Used to make a selection or save an entry.
UP ARROW
Used to move forward or backward from menu to menu or to scroll forward or backward (increment or dec-
DOWN ARROW
rement) through available selections.
NOTE: Pressing any button on the control pad illuminates the backlight for 30 seconds. The backlight also illuminates for 30 sec-
onds whenever an active Alarm/Warning message is displayed.
7.4 — Change Time and Date
To change the time and date after activation, see the Navigation Menu in Figure 7-5. If power is lost (battery is discon-
nected/reconnected, 7.5 amp fuse is removed/installed, etc.), the display automatically prompts the user for the Time
and Date. All other information is retained in memory.
7.5 — Programmable Timers
7.5.1— Dealer Programmable
NOTE: A dealer password is required.
7.5.1.1—High Run Speed Timer
A programmable high run speed timer is provided. The timer controls the length of time the generator runs at maximum
speed after application of a large load (such as an air conditioner). The time can be increased to prevent the potential
cycling of engine RPM as loads turn on and off. For example, if the timer is currently set to ten minutes, and the normal
AC cycling time is 15 minutes, increasing the timer to 20 minutes would prevent the engine speed from ramping up and
down every ten minutes between AC cycles (even though fuel consumption would increase).
7.5.1.2—Start-Up Delay Timer
A programmable line interrupt delay (or Start-Up Delay) timer is provided. When utility voltage fails (falls below 65% of
nominal), the start-up delay timer is started. If the voltage rises above the Utility Volts Low threshold, the timer is reset.
If the utility voltage remains below the threshold during the duration of the timer, the unit cranks and starts.
NOTE: The factory default setting is five seconds, but is adjustable from 2 to 1500 seconds.
7.5.2— User Programmable
7.5.2.1—Exercise Time
A programmable exercise time is provided. In the AUTO mode, the engine starts and runs at the programmed interval,
either weekly, bi-weekly (the default), or monthly, at the time and day specified. During the exercise cycle, the unit runs
approximately five minutes and then shuts down. Transfer of loads to the generator does not occur unless utility power
fails. For more information, see Subsection 7.8 —Setting the Exercise Timer.
