Operation
3.7.2— LED Indicator Lights
See "B" in Figure 3-5.
• Green LED "Ready" light is on when utility is pres-
ent and the control panel button is in the AUTO
position. This also indicates when the generator is
running.
• Red LED "Alarm" light is on when the generator is
OFF or a fault is detected. Contact an authorized
servicing dealer.
• Yellow LED "Maintenance" light.
NOTE: Yellow LED may be on at the same time as either
the Red or Green LED.
3.8 — Battery Charger
NOTE: The battery charger is integrated into the control
module in all models.
The battery charger operates as a "Smart Charger" that
ensures:
• Output is continually optimized to promote maxi-
mum battery life.
• Charging levels are safe.
NOTE: A warning is displayed on the LCD when the bat-
tery needs service.
3.9 — 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 5 or 12 minutes, depending on the
model, 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 installa-
tion, press the "enter" button to skip setting up the exer-
cise 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 dis-
connected and then reconnected, and/or when the fuse
is removed.

3.10 — Cold Smart Start
The Cold Smart Start feature can be enabled in the EDIT
menu. With Cold Smart Start enabled, the generator will
monitor ambient temperature and the warm-up delay will
be adjusted based on prevailing conditions.
On a startup in AUTO mode, if the ambient temperature
is below a fixed temperature (based on model) the gener-
ator will warm-up for 30 seconds. This allows the engine
to warm before a load is applied. If the ambient tempera-
ture is at or above the fixed temperature, the generator
will startup with the normal warm-up delay of 5 seconds.
When the generator engine is started, a check for proper
output voltage build up will be performed.
If some condition impedes normal voltage creation, such
as frost crystals or dust/dirt prevent a good electrical con-
nection, the start sequence will be interrupted so that a
cleaning cycle of the internal electrical connections can
be attempted.
The cleaning cycle is an extended "Warming Up" period
which lasts for several minutes while the normal genera-
tor voltage output is determined to be low. During this
cycle, the generator controller will display the "Warming
Up" on its display screen.
If the cleaning cycle fails to clear the obstruction, the gen-
erator controller display will show the "Under Voltage"
message.
After several minutes, the alarm message can be
cleared, and a restart of the generator attempted.
If the problem persists, make no further attempts to start.
Contact an independent authorized service dealer.
